Republican justice, in more ways than one. This is from today's Seattle Times ...

Former Washington state Republican Party Chairman Chris Vance acknowledged Tuesday that he contacted then-U.S. Attorney John McKay to inquire about the status of federal investigations into the 2004 governor's race while the outcome was still in dispute.

...

"Republican activists were furious because they felt that you had a Republican secretary of state [Sam Reed], a Republican county prosecutor in Norm Maleng and a Republican U.S. attorney, but still they saw the governorship slipping away, and they were just angry," Vance said.

All those Republicans and they still couldn't get any trumped up voter fraud indictments. No wonder they were angry.

Of course, these Republican officeholders -- McKay, Reed and Maleng -- understand their responsibilities and did the right thing.
