Get traction

The story the bloggers are developing on the "Great DOJ Republican Conspiracy" has not appeared in the mainstream media, until yesterday.

The LA Times printed an op-ed piece by Joseph D. Rich, former DOJ official in Civil Rights. Rich says,

Over the last six years, this Justice Department has ignored the advice of its staff and skewed aspects of law enforcement in ways that clearly were intended to influence the outcome of elections.

Air America is trumpeting the story--in connection with the Senate Judiciary hearings on the US Attorney firings--and Waxman had the head of BushCo's GSA in for questioning this week about a partisan meeting regarding organizing the GSA to promote Republican candidates in 2008.

The pieces of the puzzle are all there, and they fit. Will the mainstream media give this issue any traction in the teeth of Iraq/Iran?
