Karl Rove
Chief Advisor to the White House
In August 2007, Karl Rove announced that he would resign to
spend more time with his family. Critics of Rove, however, say
that he was trying to avoid investigation concerning his
involvement in political prosecutions like the case of Don
Siegelman.

Judge Noel Hillman
Former Chief of the Office of Public Integrity
Hillman was the lead Justice Department prosecutor in the Jack
Abramoff Capitol Hill lobbying scandal. The investigation into
Jack Abramoff took a surprising turn when the Justice
Department said the chief prosecutor Hillman would step down
because he had been nominated to a federal judgeship by
President Bush. This effectively ended the Abramoff
Investigation.

US Attorney Alberto Gonzales

NYT Editorial....It was just that kind of craven politics — the desire
to co-opt the power of the government to win elections — that
was the driving force in Mr. Gonzales’s Justice Department.
Dedicated and capable United States attorneys were fired for
insisting on doing their jobs with integrity — for refusing to put
people in jail, or shield them from prosecution, simply to help
Republicans win elections. Lawyers were hired for nonpolitical
jobs based on party enrollment and campaign contributions, and
top members of Mr. Gonzales’s staff attended pre-election
political briefings at the White House led by Karl Rove and his
aides
