What a coincidence

Bush picks Abramoff prosecutor for federal judgeship Democrats wonder about the timing of president's move "The investigation into Jack Abramoff, the disgraced Republican lobbyist, took a provocative new turn Thursday when the Justice Department said the chief prosecutor in the inquiry would step down next week because he had been nominated to a federal judgeship by President Bush. The prosecutor, Noel Hillman, is chief of the department's Office of Public Integrity, and the move ends his involvement in an investigation that has reached into the administration as well as into the top ranks of the Republican leadership on Capitol Hill. Democrats swiftly questioned the move's timing and called for a special prosecutor..."

You really have to hand it to the Bush regime. They have no problem obstructing justice right in your face. They take the prosecutor who has worked on the Abramoff scandal (and possible involvement in a murder) for two years and make him a judge? Democrats smell a skunk and they rightfully demand a special counsel in the Abramoff scandals. George W Bush has a HUGE conflict of interest in this and he should not be allowed to steer anything that involves it.
