Lawyers, Troopergate, and Questions
By Reed Hundt - September 6, 2008, 7:05AM

"This week, seven key witnesses informed Mr. Branchflower through their attorneys that they would not provide depositions. Their depositions, which had been agreed to and scheduled earlier with Mr. Branchflower, were cancelled within the last 72 hours."

So isn't there anyone with investigatory power, or even just lawyerly or reportorial skills, who could inquire into exactly how all these witnesses to "troopergate" happened to obtain lawyers and then all follow the exact same tactic in the same 72 hours? Who are their lawyers; who is paying their lawyers? And many other questions that follow.

1. Just read this over at TPM and was gonna post it

thanks

3. Its amazing that McCain could have gotten himself into a mess

before he even gets to the election.

Its also an indication of how he would run the government. It looks a whole lot like more of the same to me, and in the worst aspects of the Bush Administration.

8. Just like all the Bush scandals....

this will be swept under the rug...nothing to see here sheeple, let's move on....

It is clear now that nothing will come of the investigation...especially now that the people investigating this decided not to subpoena Palin because it is not respectful to a person running for VP of the USA....WTF?

9. There's a lot needs to be fixed in this country.

Free press is one thing.

10. This could actually work in our favor.

Remember, it's usually not the crime that catches them, it's the cover-up!
