AG Civil Rights Division Fired Dems To “Make Room For Good Americans’.
Bradley Schlozman, then the acting Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights told officials to fire attorneys to "make room for some good Americans" Some of the attorneys were minority.
He Fired minority attorneys in the Civil Rights Division.
Read these exceprts to see the kind of hackneyed partisan assholes that now populated every governing body in this country. This guy in particular is now in the Executive Office for US Attorneys.
He should be in a jail cell.
btw- I don't actually KNOW that the attorneys he fired were Dems. I know ONE was, because her CV is listed.
In May 2003, Schlozman was appointed as a deputy assistant attorney general for civil rights, and he quickly became enmeshed in hiring decisions previously made by section chiefs...
Appellate lawyers said that before Schlozman arrived, the small staff enjoyed a collegial work environment generally free of partisanship. ...Schlozman made little effort to hide his personal interest in the political leanings of the staff, according to five lawyers who spoke on the condition of anonymity because -- like most of those interviewed for this article -- they still work at the department. He and his aides frequently asked appellate supervisors whether career lawyers handling politically sensitive cases were "on our team," the lawyers said.
Schlozman raised the question of partisan politics bluntly in the fall of 2004, they said, when asking appellate supervisors about the "loyalty" of division lawyer Angela Miller, who had once clerked for David. B. Sentelle, a conservative federal appeals judge. He told Miller's bosses that he learned that she voted for McCain in the 2004 Republican primary and asked, "Can we still trust her?"
He also warned section chief Diana Flynn that he would be keeping an eye on the legal work of another career lawyer who "didn't even vote for Bush," according to colleagues who said they heard Flynn describe the exchange. Miller told several of the colleagues that she considered Schlozman's remarks a form of intimidation, and started looking for another job, the lawyers said.
Yes indeed. Can we still trust her? I mean that whack job wman VOTED OR MCCAIN!!!!
Keep in mind that this is the typical Bush appointee in the hundreds of layers of governing departments across the administration.
As soon as a law was passed to protect us from terrorists, it was used against us. And all of this was done behind closed doors. None of this perfidy would ever have been revealed if the Dems hadn’t won in November.
As much as we are disappointed by our stumbling toothless majority, we have to remember that the amount of corruption that the Repugs were hiding was immense, and we still don’t know how much there was.
Or is.
These are the people who are governing over us. This guy is a complete unbalanced extremely partisan whacko are the kind of two digit IQed NASCAR loving, bar be queing Megachurch attending (maybe not Schlozman) sanctimonious assholes that you would never want to hang out with.
And this guy was brazenly partisan. He couldn’t contain himself, and it took this long to even get it in front of the public.
I appreciate Wapo doing this but Jesus Christ couldn’t we have gotten to the depths of this kind of corruption a little earlier?
By the way, what do you expect from someone who calls themselves Bradley?
