    administration officials told the senator’s staff that Bartling’s prodding did not prompt the prosecutor’s departure but that they had â€their own reasons†for wanting him removed.

    Maybe he didn’t love Jesus.

    TPM is reporting that John McKay and David Iglesias told the Seattle Times that they think the firing scandal will result in criminal charges.

    And if you ever want to hear an example of freighted speech, go back and check out the video of McKay being interviewed by a local Seattle station about the attorney purge scandal (the link is below). Listen carefully the first time he uses the word â€thugâ€. McKay’s contempt is palpable.

    In fact, they said that it was not a conflict of interest for a USA to be married to someone he might have to investigate.

    if that’s not a conflict of interest, what the fuck IS a conflict of interest ???

    and, IIRC, the standard ISN’T that there is a conflict of interest

    the standard is that â€THERE SHOULD BE NO HINT OF A CONFLICT OF INTERESTâ€

    or did these â€good christians†lower the moral standards or something ???

    Well, you know these ’good christians’ never have problems with things like nepotism and conflict of interest, because G*d has forgiven all their sins … in advance.
    [/snark – at least I hope it’s snark, but YNK]

    But I really would like to know how they’re defining them, so that we can spell it out in short words in their Bible study and Sunday school books.
