Except that I would be surprised if we could actually learn it.

It's not just that one of Carol Lam's most high-profile cases was the San Diego City Hall Corruption Case involving charges of accepting bribes from the owner of Cheetahs strip club, by three San Diego City Councilmembers. (Charles Lewis actually died from illness attributed to stress from the ordeal.)

It is that there is still the 800-pound-gorilla in the room. Part of the DoJ's strategy for gearing up for the Global War on Sex, involved pouring over a million-and-a-half dollars by DoJ into the San Diego area to use as a launching and staging ground for the GWOS. Much of that DoJ grant money (illegally) helped fund politicking for even more draconian laws against sex, nudity and pornography.

No one asked Attorney General Alberto Gonzales what percentage of his time is and/or has been spent on sex-related issues. But remember that GOP presidential hopeful Senator Sam Brownback, committed Gonazales to agreeing to take on the crusade against pornography during the attorney general's confirmation hearing.

And from OAG1238-1281.pdf:

"[I]f they want to go after child pornographers and pedophiles as this president and attorney general have ordered federal prosecutors to do, it's the United States attorneys who have the privilege of making such priorities a reality. That's why it's the best job a lawyer can ever have."

They gravitate to the alpha male control of sexuality as if they have come to believe that that is the ultimate perquisite of empery, (and it also gives them personal access to such now rarified-art as child pornography.) OH! The POWER!

We know that when the right-wing demanded that the National Endowment for the Arts stop funding pornography, and that "pornography is perfectly capable of paying for itself, commercially", that that was a ruse. They then subsequently attacked commercial pornography. And when they criminalized child pornography and concocted § 2257, we declared "we have to fight them here, (NEA, child porn, § 2257) or we will have to fight them over all pornography", they seem to have co-opted that mantra and applied it to their traditional war: "We either fight them there, or they will follow us home and we will have to fight them here."

The sexual zeal and attention to which the attorney general indulges in this sexual totalitarianism is seen in his latest work.

But do contrast this with the historical indulgences and expressions of power: - that of waging taditional war. That government's main focus, now, (DoJ's at least), is on controlling sexuality, and taking fellow humans captive and imprisoning them (and paradoxically, abusing them), over issues of sexuality, rather than government's traditional expression of hegemony and power by simply indulging in killing other human beings on battlefields, (for whatever reason can be concocted), is a somewhat new paradigm. But in the various hearings re DoJ, the topic of sex has been glaringly missing - participants recently have been avoiding talking about government's intrusion into sexuality, even while there is much evidence that this is where the attorney general may have been spending the most of his time.

Speaking of Hatch, (although The Hatch Act precedes US Senator Orrin Hatch), Senator Hatch was one of the most extreme crusaders in this morals war. As a senior member of the Senate Select Intelligence Committee, Orrin Hatch has  been largely silent on these issues, lately. As these morals war issues appear to be perhaps his most religious passion, and since he has direct access into the White House as well as the Old Executive Office Building, we ask again, what was his role in this mess?

Even the government's wholesale voyeurism of massive surveillance is largely glossed over. Those testifying, deliberately avoid talking about the methods-and-sources. One is to assume that the US Attorneys are also clued in on the methods-and-sources of the government's voyeurism through mass surveillance.
