… knew about this, but I’d missed it. This is from Kyle Sampson’s memo of December 4th, 2006, three days before the firing of the U.S. Attorneys [entitled "USA replacement plan.doc<\/strong><\/a>"].<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In Step 1<\/strong>, Sampson talked about what to say to the Senators and "Political leads." It included, "We will look to you, Senator\/Political lead, to recommend candidates that we should consider for appointment as the new U.S. Attorney.<\/strong><\/font>" This implies that appointments would be made and passed on to the Senate for confirmation [and that the Congressmen didn’t really know that the procedure had been quietly changed in the renewed Patriot Act<\/strong> to allow AG appointed Interims to serve indefinitely].<\/p>\n

In Step 2<\/strong>, he talks about what to say when firing the U.S. Attorneys which includes, "The Administration … has determined to give someone else the opportunity to serve as U.S. Attorney in your District for the final two years of the Administration.<\/strong><\/font>" He goes further, "We … intend to have a new Acting or Interim U.S. Attorney in place by January 31, 2007.<\/strong><\/font>" Sounds to me like that "someone else<\/strong><\/font>" is the Interim who will serve from January 31, 2007 until Bush is out of office.<\/p>\n

Then come Step 3<\/strong> [above] which clearly says, "(granting ‘extensions’ will hinder the process of getting a new U.S. Attorney in place and giving that person the opportunity to serve for a full two years<\/u>).<\/strong><\/font>" Here, it is simple stated that the Interim person put in place is going to be there for the duration.<\/p>\n

What they’re saying in the hearings is a patent lie. They were clearly going to appoint Interims to serve for the duration, but were asking for nominations in hopes that the Senators didn’t know a change had been made in the Patriot Act without their knowledge. And why? To have AG appointed U.S. Attorneys in place in Karl Rove’s targeted States – "Swing States" – conscious and willful manipulation of Congess for partisan gain – pure and simple. Thus, stick to our  alibi <\/strike> planned story, "Recipients of such ‘appeals’ must repond identically.<\/strong><\/font>"<\/p>\n

I missed that nuance on my earlier reading of this memo…<\/div>\n
