A Political Prosecution Goes Under the
Microscope
by Scott Horton for Harper's
Has the Bush Justice Department used the criminal justice system to
punish its political adversaries all across the country? As the
countdown begins to the end of the Bush Administration, abuse of
the criminal justice system is finally coming into focus.
Within the Justice Department itself, the Office of Professional
Responsibility and the Inspector General are conducting a joint
investigation into the case of the “Gonzales Eight,” namely the firing
of eight U.S. attorneys on December 7, 2006. Preliminary inquiries by
Congress produced the resignation in disgrace of most of the senior
leadership of the Justice Department, including Attorney General
Gonzales. Now ee hear that Alberto Gonzales has “lawyered up” —
for good reason.

voting integrity advocates, edited by Miller. I have contributed an
