Over at Raw Story Michael Roston has an excellent article about a number of DOJ employees who've donated money to the Bush/Cheney election campaigns and other GOP politicians.
Here are excerpts from Roston's story:
When D. Kyle Sampson, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales's former chief of staff, appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee tomorrow, he may get a warm reception from some committee Republicans, including a former boss who warned his colleagues against trying "to hurt the man" last week. [...]
Sampson donated $250 to the Commonwealth Political Action Committee in Oct. 2006. The group describes itself as supporting "reform-minded Republicans who share the belief that government should be limited, responsive and affordable." The PAC's records show that it has supported two other senators on the Judiciary Committee, Lindsay Graham of South Carolina and Jon Kyl of Arizona. The former Justice Department official also gave $250 to the Bush-Cheney campaign in 2004.
Other Justice Department employees implicated in the firing of eight US Attorneys have given generously to Republican politicians.
More than ever, we must carry out Deep Throat Mark Felt's advice from Watergate days and follow the money. Full disclosure: I performed some of the research for Roston's story.
