Worse than Nixon
"Abominable, abysmal, and absolutely appalling"

Bunnypants' BFF Alberto Gonzales ran the 'Justice' department like “a political arm of the White House,” says former DOJ official.

Daniel J. Metcalfe, the former director of the Justice Department’s Office of Information and Privacy, said he resigned in January because he could no longer tolerate the “sheer political expediency, avoidance of individual responsibility, defensive personal aggrandizement, irresponsible ‘consensus’ decisionmaking (and) disregard for longstanding practices and principles.”

And that was before the controversy erupted over the firing of nine U.S. attorneys last year.

Metcalfe, who worked for the department during the the Nixon administration’s infamous “Saturday night massacre,” said the dismissals had been handled like nothing he has ever seen before.
