They Don't Think It's That Wrong

Here's why House Republicans don't think there's anything wrong with politicizing the Justice Department: they have no problem politicizing the Justice Department DURING AN OVERSIGHT HEARING.

Apparently deaf to the improper tone of the request in the context of a hearing on the firings of the U.S. attorneys, Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) encouraged Alberto Gonzales to hurry up and indict Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA). The Jefferson case has dragged on for nearly two years and is awaiting the decision of an appeals court on the FBI's seizure of evidence from Jefferson's congressional office.

Cronyism and politicization is the MO of Republicanism in the 21st century.

Jaw-dropping.
