Yes and some people are blind to facts by their own beliefs.

You appear to be proposing nested conditonals, where the looping repetitions have only two levels (Y/N; repeated by Y/N).
You’ve unveiled the structure of their simplistic logic; many thanks.
The clarity does add a rather chilling focus, IMHO.

But in terms of what the Dept of ’Justice’ should mean, it’s profoundly tragic and disgusting.

We might be able to template all of the Attorneys Fired in the USA Scandal like this:

—

Who did xxx ’go to’ when he wanted to ’get rid’ of that pesky Rule of Law guy, yyy?

Rove followed by Bush, with AG Gonzo and His Band of DoJ Loyalists winking-and-nodding.

yyy gone.

So, for instance,

Who did [???] ’go to’ when he wanted to ’get rid’ of that pesky Rule of Law gal, Lam?

If the pattern matches significantly enough for the eight or nine involved, then we can propose a Viable Answer to the Question:

Who put the Names on the List, and why didn’t Any of the DoJ Staff know anything about it, or the process used?

Siegelman’s persecution has been the most compelling read since Plame and the USAG firings, but I’d love to better grasp how it ties in with the telecom and NSA and FISA abuses.

Controlling information about electronic communications would be necessary to:
(1) hide electronic transmissions to (and from) servers that contain electronic voting data, such as Siegelman in 2002 and Bu$hCo in 2004, and also
(2) enable Rove/Cheney to listen in on the legal strategies of their political victims (Siegelman and Black; and even Abramoff).

Given Congressional willingness to immunize the telecoms, we’ll never know the extent to which NSA and FISA phone tamperings affected the ability of Bu$hCo functionaries to keep themselves out of jail, while at the same time listening in to phone transmissions of Siegelman discussing his legal strategy with his attorneys. So far, Scott Horton hasn’t written anything to connect the FISA and NSA abuses with the Siegelman case, but it only stands to reason that there must be plenty of (creepy) linkages between the phone tampering and the political persecutions.

FWIW, this Siegelman story looks to be a ’blockbuster’ and I hope it breaks wide, wide open soon.

Siegelman gone.

Wrongfully prosecuted at the time of a primary election.

Think about that! A former Governor, and then-current 2006 Candidate for Governor, of one of the United States of America, was wrongfully targeted for prosecution – using the Federal Legal System – for political reasons by BushCo.

PS – Rove and ’computer gliches’ on Election Night that ’swing’ the results to BushCo just seem to go together – Riley’s election over Siegelman in Alabama in 2002, and Bush’s Presidency in Ohio in 2004.

Black gone.

How much influence do Mexico or Canada have upon our politics? Precious little. They make the occasional speech, but don’t drag us into wars, drain our coffers, or involve us in torture and spying and mercenaries run amuck.

Good ol’ boys.

Texas mafia?

:ptui!:

If the black sheep of the family get written out of the Bible, perhaps these states could get written out of the Constitution? When they’re willing to be civilized and follow the Rule of Law, they can petition to be allowed back.

After a hundred year probationary period.

Iglesias gone.
