BREAKING - Bush Admin Official Convicted on 4 of 5 Felony Counts

WASHINGTON Jun 20, 2006 (AP)— A jury found former Bush administration official David Safavian guilty Tuesday of covering up his dealings with Republican influence-peddler Jack Abramoff.

Safavian was convicted on four of five felony counts of lying and obstruction. He had resigned from his White House post last year as the federal government's chief procurement officer.

The trial consumed eight days of testimony about Safavian's assistance to Abramoff regarding government-owned real estate and a weeklong golfing excursion the lobbyist organized to the famed St. Andrews golf course in Scotland and London. Safavian went on the trans-Atlantic trip while he was chief of staff at the General Services Administration, and other participants were Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, two Ney aides and Christian Coalition founder Ralph Reed.

At this rate, we should have this nest of vipers put behind bars by, oh, I'd say, the 22nd Century!

It will make the trials at Nuremburg look small by comparison. Of course, many of the usual cockroaches will scurry into the dark corners and never see justice, but its nice to think we can catch some of them.

I need to see the network news channels breaking in to give us all of the details!

:sarcasm:

Wonder if CNN will report on it ad nauseum, as they always do with any Dem faux scandal.

Wide analysis...

Cries for Justice!

(There's something wrong... All I'm getting is static.)

the White House. *sigh*

Thanks!

This happened early this morning. It's all over DU.

:-)

Its cause to celebrate - something we need when so many seem focused on defending Bushco these days.

Justice will prevail, even Rove can't always stop it. We seem to focus too much lately on bashing anyone who is trying to hold these crooks accountable, instead of focusing on bringing them to justice.

Celebrate!

:party:

It's like the threads are not highlighted or something and people miss it. Even on Tv, they
repeat the morning news. I think it's good to keep emphasizing that justice was done today.

I overslept this morning and must have missed all of the hullaballou.

MSNBC and CNN. Still if this were Cynthia McKinley or Patrick Kennedy it wuold be getting non-stop replays all damn day. Bushco owns MSM.
