Josh flagged this last night, but McClatchy has a fuller account of former USA John McKay’s remarks:
In an interview, McKay said his handling of the 2004 Washington governor’s race came back to haunt him when he was interviewed about a federal judgeship by then-White House Counsel Harriet Miers and others in her office.
McKay said he was asked in the late summer or early fall of 2006 to explain the criticism of how he’d “mishandled” the governor’s race investigation. McKay didn’t reveal who asked the question, but he said it wasn’t Miers.
McKay didn’t get the nomination.
As McKay testified yesterday, he didn’t pursue an investigation of alleged voter fraud by Democrats because there was “no evidence.”
