Oooh, that smell.

Keep an eye on this one. Isikoff from Newsweek has another pretty significant little blurb.(no wonder they tried to hatchet him over technicalities on the Q'uran in the toilet thing.)

Let's see, the only man who has access to the information in the Plame case, the only man who has the power to approve or refuse indictments, just happens to get an "offer he can't refuse" from Lockheed with all it's connections to both the Bush Clan and government. The guy who's going to replace him, is not only an "old Bush friend" but also one of ten Yalees inducted into the Uber-fraternity of Skull and Bones with Bush.

This stinks like Archibald Cox.

Operation "Make Plame Go Away" may be proceeding apace.


Aug. 15, 2005 issue - The departure this week of Deputy Attorney General James Comey, who has accepted the post of general counsel at Lockheed Martin, leaves a question mark in the probe into who leaked the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame. Comey was the only official overseeing special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's leak investigation. ..... Associate Attorney General Robert McCallum is "likely" to be named as acting deputy A.G., a DOJ official who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter tells NEWSWEEK. But McCallum may be seen as having his own conflicts: he is an old friend of President Bush's and a member of his Skull and Bones class at Yale.

UPDATE: Here's a little past history of Bush doing the exact same thing on the Abramoff investigation.

Bush removal ended Guam investigation

US attorney's demotion halted probe of lobbyist

By Walter F. Roche Jr., Los Angeles Times | August 8, 2005

WASHINGTON -- A US grand jury in Guam opened an investigation of controversial lobbyist Jack Abramoff more than two years ago, but President Bush removed the supervising federal prosecutor, and the probe ended soon after.

The previously undisclosed Guam inquiry is separate from a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia that is investigating allegations that Abramoff bilked Indian tribes out of millions of dollars.
