No, we hadn’t forgotten about this. We just laid low to wait for some more promising game to come up the trail to the waterhole. Huntmaster Josh Marshall is doing the drive, and a fellow hunter found this in the new Department of Justice document dump very quietly released last night:

Subject: NM USATTY - urgent issue
Importance: High -
I just received a telephone call from Steve Bell, Sen. Domenici’s CoS, who urgently reported the following:
1. Outgoing USATTY David 1glesias.i~h olding a press conference at 11:30 Eastern this
morning. I
2 . He is allegedly going to say that he was contacted by’ two Members of Congress last Fa11

regarding the investigation into the courthouse construction corruption case.
Information on this is in the following article:

3. He is allegedly going to say that the Members urged him to deliver indictments before November’s election. He will further say that one of the Members, frustrated with his answer, hung up on him in anger.
4. He is allegedly going to link these phone calls with the current news - saying that he believes this ultimately led to his being asked to resign by DOJ. I
Bell said Domenici’s idea is not to respond, and hopefully make this a..

Emphasis, back in the list of email recipients, added. The remainder of the document dump itself, if you’d like to pick up your elephant gun and join in the fun, can be found here:DoJ emails, or follow along as the other hunters report their sightings of spoor at Josh’s link noted at the beginning here.

NOW can we have a subpoena for Smartech, holder of all those “gwb43.com” and “georgewbush.com” addresses? Rep. Waxman, I’m talkin’ to you. If there wasn’t enough evidence before that this underground, illegal communication system was being used to hide evidence, here it is in plain ugly sight, a big ol’ pile of elephant dung* reeking in the sunlight.

*Apologies to actual elephants for this metaphor. I have heard that, being comprised of massive amounts of vegetation as it is, elephant dung not only does not smell particularly bad but is one of the best garden addendums known to man if one is fortunate enough to live near a zoo or other source of the product. Republican dung…not so much.

Addendum: I’m still reading the thread at Josh’s place and a little lower down it is noted that the “KR@georgewbush.com” e-mail is in document set 6, OAG1596-1645, OAG000001622 “, which statement is more comprehensible once you get in digging and see how these individual emails are identified by page number and batch and shit.

This is from a party known as “HeyThereItsEric” but the original note is unsigned so I don’t know if it too is from HTIE or not. The folks who actually wade through this slime finding the diamonds in the muck deserve credit, but dammit folks, ya gotta sign your work….
