Connect the dots, folks.

As midterm elections approached last November, federal investigators in Arizona faced unexpected obstacles in getting needed Justice Department approvals to advance a corruption investigation of Republican Rep. Rick Renzi, people close to the case said.

The delays, which postponed key approvals in the case until after the election, raise new questions about whether Attorney General Alberto Gonzales or other officials may have weighed political issues in some investigations....

Investigators pursuing the Renzi case had been seeking clearance from senior Justice Department officials on search warrants, subpoenas and other legal tools for a year before the election, people close to the case said....

...the investigation clearly moved slowly: Federal agents opened the case no later than June 2005, yet key witnesses didn't get subpoenas until early this year, those close to the case said. The first publicly known search -- a raid of a Renzi family business by the Federal Bureau of Investigation -- was carried out just last week....

...the Renzi case -- like many that involve members of Congress -- is being handled jointly by the local U.S. attorney and the department's public-integrity section. In such cases, a senior department official must approve requests for wiretaps and warrants and other formal legal steps.

Connect the dots, folks.

Democrats circa 2002: "Why didn't Bushco connect the dots????"

Democrats in 2007: "Stop connecting dots! We're trying to surrender to these nice people, and they've promised there will be no genocide, mass slaughter, or exporting of terror if we just leave Iraq!"

You can only cover one topic at all times, I see, regardless of the actual thread.

It's all the same topic, TT. The endless investigations will yield nothing but a weakened Bushco administration, which is really all they are about. It's all about Iraq because your side will be wiped out if we don't lose now. Sorry....quite a pickle you guys are in now, isn't it?
