Obstructing Justice: A Revisit to the DOJ
Partisan Prosecutions

BuzzFlash:  Larisa, you've done a tremendous job keeping light
focused on the ongoing and still-existing injustices of what had
become known as "Prosecutorgate," the partisan prosecutions of the
Justice Department at the direction of Karl Rove. Alabama and
Mississippi are two areas that you continue to spotlight.  Let me first
ask you: In Congressional testimony last weekend, our current
Attorney General, Mr. Mukasey -- and Senator Joe Biden was quite
tenacious when asked why no one will be prosecuted in the partisan
hiring scandal in the Justice Department.  He basically said these
people have been punished enough.

2. Abramoff sentenced to four more years
on UPI.com

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Shamed lobbyist Jack Abramoff was
sentenced to four more years in prison and ordered to pay $15 million
in restitution, a U.S. federal judge ruled Thursday.

Ellen Segal Huvelle, a federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the D.
C. District, ordered Abramoff to serve 48 months in addition to the two
years he already served for a separate case, The Hill, a Washington
political publication, reported.

Abramoff had pleaded guilty to corruption charges involving
lawmakers, including some that involved defrauding Indian tribes of
tens of millions of dollars, The Hill said. Federal prosecutors had
sought a prison sentence that was less than the potential maximum of
11 years because the one-time Washington power-broker had been
cooperating with the U.S. Department of Justice.
