Investigation of Former US Atty Rachel Paulose Hits Roadblock - The US Justice Dept.

According to the PiPress, the investigation into allegations of mismanagement by former US Attorney Rachel Paulose has hit a roadblock: the US Justice Dept is blocking access by the special prosecutor appointed in the case. Eric Black has the details at MinnPost. They are also apparently stonewalling on the investigation into the politically-motivated firings of 8 other US Attorneys. Former US Attorney Tom Heffelfinger was apparently on the list to be fired before he resigned.

To steal a quote from a Jack Nicholson movie character: When I assess the Bush Administration, I just think of how a normal governing administration would be run, then I take away reason and accountability.
