Department of Justice Will Examine Itself


Today's New York Times reported that the Justice Department's Office of Professional responsibility has begun to investigate the Justice Department's Domestic Spying Program, apparently in reponse to a request for an investigation from four Congressional Democrats, including New York's Maurice D. Hinchley. The above diagram represents the domestic spying program review previously described by Alberto "Gonzo" Gonzales in his report that consists of 43 pages of legalese-spattered verbal monkey spanking. Now, the Department of Justice is further investigating itself, but the investigation is limited, according to the Times article, to whether the lawyers involved "complied with their professional obligations," not whether the domestic spying program is legal. I might be going out on a limb here, but I'm pretty sure this one is gonna clear them. "After extensive review, we have found no problemo ... and in the meantime, no need to investigate, because there is an investigation." The questions are: An investigation of what? And by whom? Well, the answer is in the next graphic.

In addition to the 4 'roo review specified previously by Gonzo and diagrammed above, there will be an additional level of self-scrutiny by the Department of Justice:

    Well, in cases of domestic spying I have to say- size matters.

    A joke. A New Yorker. Charles Schumer. Hillary. Bagels, Broadway, and the Yankees. No javelinas though.

    by the way ... on the subject of jokes ... the link to the self-palpitation (palpation) article is a joke ... not the link but the use of the word "palpitation" also ... I once heard a police officer on a witness stand talking about "palpitatiing" a scrotum ... more details of which might well come out in the soon to begin on Rory Shock story of Billy Ray ... a chimp accused

    Let's hope that the thumb of the Justice Dept. and the fingers of the Office of Professional Responsibility don't wrap themselves around the Spy Program and try to massage the truth out.

    well, they are a bunch of wankers, after all, liberal girl ... one day the truth will come out ... and they won't even know how it got there ...
