Waas & Conyers on RoveLeakScandal

Conyers again, and again Murray Waas, who has a blog updating the RoveLeakScandal regularly it appears. He has, of late, been uncovering many of the few bread crumbs available on the RoveLeak scandal... In Village Voice and elsewhere, but now here:

Conyers, who Thank God(!) does his job, and doesn't take any shit, sent a letter to the Justice Dept. today asking for an investigation into:

...Ashcroft's role in overseeing the Plame probe, before it was taken over by special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald...


Can you say, "Flagrant Conflict Of Interest!"? From the Conyers letter:

no employee shall participate in a criminal investigation or prosecution if he has a personal or political relationship with: (1) any person . . . substantially involved in the conduct that is the subject of the investigation or prosecution; or (2) any person . . . which he knows or has a specific and substantial interest that would be affected by the outcome of the investigation or prosecution.
