We’ve been combing through reader comments and posting as fast as we can on the emails released by the Justice Department last night.
Some gems:
— Ousted U.S. Attorney David Iglesias was lauded as a “diverse up-and-comer” in 2004.
— Karl Rove’s former aide was apparently a party to the scheme to have him installed as the U.S. attorney without Senate confirmation.
— And the documents actually show DoJ officials brainstorming on the reasons that they’d fired the USAs. Hindsight’s 20/20!
