"We Make The Bullets"

Who is Tim Griffin, the man Karl Rove inserted as the new U.S. Attorney for Arkansas, bouncing Bud Cummins? Just one of the most accomplished opposition researchers in the Rove machine - as Josh Green reported in this 2004 piece in the Atlantic. Why was he put in place by a provision slipped secretly into the Patriot Act to avoid Senate scrutiny? Isn't it obvious by now? His job was not to prosecute crime, but to prosecute, slime and obliterate the opposition party. Josh Marshall explains it in this video:

Gonzales, in my view, is not the real culprit here. He is now and always has been a tool. It's Rove the Senate needs to investigate, and Rove who needs to provide the answers.
