Meanwhile, more investigations at Justice...
You've got to wonder how many more investigations into Justice Department activities will be opened in the coming months. We've got investigations by both chambers into the attorney firings, an internal investigation into political-based hiring for non-partisan positions, and today the Office of the Inspector General announced an investigation into, specifically, hiring practices in the Civil Rights Division. Which the Bushies have, frankly, twisted to their own devices. Charlie Savage has a good article over at the Boston Globe on the topic. Luckily for the country, Inspector General Glenn Fine is a tough cookie, and will conduct a vigorous investigation, politics be damned.
