Don’t like the US Attorney? Just ask Rove to take care of it!
Karl Rove and at least one other member of the
White House team were urged by the New Mexico Republican Party chairman to fire
the state’s U.S. attorney because of his failure to indict Democrats in a
voter fraud investigation.
Presidential adviser Karl Rove and at least one other member of the
White House political team were urged by the New Mexico Republican Party
chairman to fire the state’s U.S. attorney because of dissatisfaction in
part with his failure to indict Democrats in a voter fraud investigation in the
battleground election state.
In an interview yesterday with McClatchy Newspapers, Allen Weh, the party chairman, said he complained in 2005 about then-U.S. Attorney David Iglesias to a White House liaison who worked for Rove and asked that he be removed. Weh said he followed up with Rove personally in late 2006 during a visit to the White House.
“Is anything ever going to happen to that guy?” Weh said he asked Rove at a White House holiday event that month.
“He’s gone,” Rove said, according to Weh.
Business as usual in the Republikan Party.
