In a blistering attack that won a standing ovation from more than 200 members of the Hennepin County Bar Association, former U.S. Attorney Thomas Heffelfinger on Thursday defended his work on Indian issues and accused Justice Department officials of firing people without knowing the most basic information about their qualifications.Heffelfinger joins the list of former US Attorneys, loyal Republicans all, who went quietly in the night until they discovered that the hacks at Justice Department had targeted them for failing to be sufficiently partisan and publicly questioned their competence as US Attorneys. Turning friends into enemies. Not a good governing strategy.

It's time to start impeachment proceedings against Alberto G. The fact that this administration has not been seriously called into questions for all the ethics breaches made during the past 7 years is a real travesty. The political targeting is only the latest in a whole series of things that demand justice!
Conspiracy Theory:
Feb 2005 - Hizzoner, St Paul Mayor Randy Kelly is
probed by 2 FBI investigations as he announces re-election.
The publicity is not good.
Mar 2005 - US Attorney Heff gets put on the US Attorney General death list.
Nov 2005 - Hisdishonor Randy Kelly is kicked
out of town with the largest loss by an incumbent mayor in the
history of St. Paul.
Jan 2006 Citizen Kelly goes to Washington
to beg for a job and get revenge, he is well connected with
the Bush people.
Feb 2006 - US Attorney Heff feels the pressure and "resigns".
