Muckraker’s got running coverage of the Sampson hearing this morning. But here are some questions I’ll be listening for from the senators. 1) Did anyone from the Department of Justice speak to Carol Lam about the Department’s alleged concerns about her immigration enforcement policy? Lam says no one ever did. Did she lie? 2) Is it true that the Department of Justice long delayed okaying the indictments of Rep. Cunningham, Brent Wilkes and Dusty Foggo? 3) Did Lam’s corruption investigations ever come up in the context of the debate over her dismissal?
Given the context of these questions, they could and should of course be more tightly and narrowly tailored. But that’s the essence of them.
