RUSH: I mentioned earlier in the program that we have a couple sound bites you gotta hear. These are two sound bites with Orrin Hatch and Pat Leahy on Meet the Press yesterday. This is about the fired US attorneys. Orrin Hatch, on fire here, is talking about Carol Lam, who was a Clinton hack — and everybody, including Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) wrote letters complaining about Carol Lam, and now Dianne Feinstein has forgotten she wrote complaint letters and is all distressed about this! Hatch opened up with this comment.<\/p>\n

HATCH: There is not one shred of evidence here that any of these appointments were made, to use Senator Specter\u2019s words, ‘to interfere with an ongoing investigation or case.\u2019 Carol Lam, for instance. It\u2019s amazing to me she wasn\u2019t fired earlier because for three years members of Congress had complained that there had been all kinds of border patrol capture of these people but hardly any prosecutions. She was a former law professor with no prosecutorial experience, and the former campaign manager in southern California for Clinton — and they\u2019re trying to say that this administration appoints people politically? Of course they do. That\u2019s what these positions are!<\/p>\n

RUSH: But not only that, (former Republican congressman) Duke Cunningham is in jail. Patrick Fitzgerald was not fired! All of these allegations that these attorneys were fired because they\u2019re working on corruption cases against Republicans? Carol Lam was a campaign manager! These people would normally be made ambassadors, but Clinton put her in as a US attorney. This is the kind of people that Clintons and Democrats appoint as federal judges. What I was talking about earlier, is their attempt here to insulate Democrats and liberals from election results. Now, Bush could have gotten rid of this woman when he took office. He chose not to. The new tone, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Next up, Russert says, ‘Senator Leahy, let me ask about a comment Senator Hatch made. Do you have any shred of evidence that any case was interfered with by the dismissal these eight US attorneys?\u2019<\/p>\n

LEAHY: Well, this is one of the things we\u2019re trying to — trying to point out. We know that Carol Lam, uh, who, uh, Orrin angrily dismisses, and I\u2019m sorry he has to get so angry so early in the morning, but —<\/p>\n

LEAHY. — the — she, uh, of course, has prosecuted a Republican congressman and was investigating other Republicans when she was dismissed. That we do not for a fact. <\/p>\n

HATCH: Well… (Sigh.)<\/p>\n

LEAHY: We also —<\/p>\n

RUSSERT: But do you have any evidence that these ongoing cases…?<\/p>\n

LEAHY: Well, this is what…<\/p>\n

HATCH: Not a shred! <\/p>\n

LEAHY: This is —<\/p>\n

HATCH: Not a shred of evidence!<\/p>\n

RUSH: That was Orrin Hatch once again telling Leahy, ‘You have not a shred, not one shred of evidence.\u2019 Anyway, the president wants Gonzales up there under oath, by the way, and the Democrats say, ‘No, no, no, no! We\u2019re on our two-week spring break. We\u2019ll bide your time here with Gonzales.\u2019 They think they\u2019ve made the case now. They\u2019re not really interested in going a whole lot farther since they\u2019re not going to get Rove and Miers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
