Is There a Pattern Here?

Via Josh at TPM this disturbing development:

The prosecutor who has headed the office at the center of a number of high-profile GOP corruption investigations - Jack Abramoff, David Safavian, Michael Scanlon, and Mitchell Wade - is moving on. He's been there since May of 2004.

This follows on the heels of this administrations nomination of the head prosecutor in the Abramoff case to the Federal Judiciary. The Administration thereby removed him from the investigation and prosecution that he had been so successful on.

So, it is not surprising that this would happen:

Kenneth Wainstein, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, has been tapped to be Assistant Attorney General for National Security.

Put that together with the Hillman nomination to the Federal Judiciary and I say that we are starting to see a pattern.

I guess anything to get the dogs off the scent of the case. And, I guess if you are a very ambitious, and not the public service, kind of guy you will bite.

Outrageous and Blatant!
