Uber-Corrupt NM Governor Cleared
By Wyatt Earp | August 28, 2009
Shocka!
This is pretty despicable, considering Bill Richardson almost immediately withdrew his nomination to be Obama’s commerce secretary. Innocent people don’t fold so quickly. At least, that’s my opinion.
Michelle Malkin has all of the HopeyChangeness:
Well, well, well. Another Obama ally off the hook. Last month, it was Chris Dodd who escaped accountability for his Countrywide sweetheart home loan deals. This week, it’s failed Commerce Secretary nominee Bill Richardson. The decision to drop federal corruption charges against Richardson was made by…top officials in crime-coddling Attorney General Eric Holder’s Department of Injustice.
Birds of a feather skate together:
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and former high-ranking members of his administration won’t be criminally charged in a yearlong federal investigation into pay-to-play allegations involving one of the Democratic governor’s large political donors, someone familiar with the case said.
The decision not to pursue indictments was made by top Justice Department officials, according to a person familiar with the investigation, who asked not to be identified because federal officials had not disclosed results of the probe.
“It’s over. There’s nothing. It was killed in Washington,” the person told The Associated Press.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. This is the administration who refused to prosecute the Philadelphia Black Panthers who were caught on tape intimidating voters on Election Day.
Attorney General Eric Holder is a frakkin’ disgrace.

Sooooo the lesson that I a humble economic wage slave takes away from this is that high up Democrats who are corrupt are untouchable? That all the work done by the FBI, State and local authorities to bring this guy to justice
can be overrode at a political socialist far left whim.
Shhhhhhhh..If you listen carefully you can hear Lady Libertys tears hitting the water.
Hmmmmm..duct taping heads will now require the “half lap wrap” for added strength. Transparent duct tape will have to be developed to prevent the eyeballs from flying across the room yet allow us to see the doors to the emergency room.

We will win in small steps. The bunch of tax dodging crooks spending our money will be another Tea Pot Dome scandal befor it is over. You can’t lie, cheat and steal forever.

This administration wouldn’t know honesty and integrity if they walked up and bit them on the butt! I think this should be known as the “hyprocrisy administration”.

How much more of this insanity do we have to take, before we can start kicking these douche bags out of office???

However, the DOJ is all over the CIA interrogators like white on rice.

Glenn – Can we write that on Richardson’s door?
Jon – Politicians in general are pretty corrupt, but the Dems seem to protect their own more than Republicans do. Most GOP members called for Larry Craig’s resignation immediately.
Dennis – Tell that to SecState Clinton.
MeToo – And they termed themselves the administration of “transparency.” What a joke.
E.L. – About 15 months.
Miriam – Yeah, nice priorities, huh?

You know what it means! I have met MHP Troopers who don’t know and it’s on the badge! Seventh grade Montana History in Scobey, Montana, 66-67.
Richardson is almost like John Henry Plummer. He was the Sheriff in Bannock. It turned out he ran the road agents that robbed the gold shipments out of there. Bannock was the first Territorial Capital of Montana in 1864.
