The Ways Of Rove
ByMurray Waas has a scoop on the depth of the politicization of the Justice Department under Bush and Gonzales:
In the fall of 2006, one day after the Justice Department granted
permission to a U.S. attorney to place a wiretap on a Republican
congressman suspected of corruption, existence of the investigation was
leaked to the press not only compromising the sensitive criminal
probe but tipping the lawmaker off to the wiretap.
Career federal law enforcement officials who worked directly on a probe of former Rep. Rick Renzi (R-Ariz.) said they believe that word of the investigation was leaked by senior Bush administration political appointees in the Justice Department in an improper and perhaps illegal effort to affect the outcome of an election.
