Dragging It Out

Bush is moaning that the Attorney Purge investigation is being dragged out (or as he says, "drug out" - something he's familiar with). This must be their strategy - having no real defense - because that's pretty much what Rep. Tom Feeney (accused of trying to hire someone to create e-voting machines capable of being rigged) was complaining about while trying to praise Monica Goodling during her testimony.

Paul Kiel at TPM Muckraker comments:

You might say that the investigation has taken such an awfully long time because the Justice Department misled Congress when questions were first asked about the U.S. attorney firings (senior Department officials even giving false testimony to Congress), the White House has stonewalled, a key witness invoked the Fifth Amendment, and despite all this, the revelations have just kept on coming steadily over the past three months.

Exactly. The WH refused to turn over and "lost" 5 million emails, we have been given contradicting accounts of what happened by McNulty, Sampson, Goodling and Gonzales, and fed lies that Gonzales has been trotting out right and left. So, if it's dragging out, let's consider whose fault that might be.

"It seems that there are possible obstruction of justice and perjury charges," [Rep. John Conyers] said, referring to how Goodling's testimony interacted with prior statements by Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty and former Justice Department Chief of Staff D. Kyle Sampson. "So, I think it is presumptuous of Judiciary Committee members to say that we should go home."
