Letter reveals that US Attorney scandal leads right to the White House. Raise your hand if you are surprised. Nobody? Damn you people are smart!

This guy Solicitor General Paul Clement, in response to the subpoenas to get information about the US Attorney firings, reveals that the documents do indeed reveal that the White House was involved at every level.

Clement reviewed the documents that the Congress subpoenaed. In his letter, Clement reveals what investigators have suspected from the very beginning — that the White House was intimately involved in the attorney scandal. Upon examination of the White House documents, Clement writes:

Among other things, these communications discuss the wisdom of such a proposal, specific U.S. Attorneys who could be removed, potential replacement candidates, and possible responses to congressional and media inquiries about the dismissals.

The White House had “said that Mr. Bush’s aides approved the list of prosecutors only after it was compiled.” President Bush himself said that “the Justice Department made recommendations, which the White House accepted” regarding the removal of the attorneys.

So I am sure that somewhere there is a loyal Republican who reads this and thinks, "I had no idea, that this government would lie to us about this incident!", and then he will crawl back into his hole and refuse to listen to anymore news until Jesus comes back and releases him from his pain.

But for the brilliant people who visit this site (and watch the Daily Show, Colbert Report, and Countdown), we already know that "when the White House says it we know it is bullshit!"

And really if we just keep the above rule in mind we will never again find ourselves fooled.
