And as AG for the next 15 months (none / 0) (#12)

Mukasey will be able to effectively squelch any investigations into what took place during the previous 81. Which, more than anything else, will be his job. They've already accomplished most of what they set out to accomplish at and with Justice. He's just there to keep it all under wraps and do some mopping up before the next president takes over. No doubt all the file cabinets will have been cleared and all the hard drives will have been scrubbed well before then.

Pat Leahy is yet one more Dem who has sorely disappointed me with his "fake left, run scared" behavior. Like so many Dems these days, he talks the good talk, but doesn't walk the good walk. Whether out of cowardice, complicity, cynicism, cluelessness or callowness, he's just not going to fight the fight. I sincerely hope that I'm wrong, and that he surprises us--with S.214 now allowing him to dismiss all interim USA's, it's still possible. But it's not looking good right now.
