In today’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Attorney General Mike Mukasey refused to answer whether Bush had violated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act under the Terrorist Surveillance Program.
Under questioning from Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), Mukasey said he “can’t contemplate” a situation where President Bush would assert “Article II authority to do something that the law forbids.”
Specter shot back, “Well, he did just that in violating the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act…didn’t he?” Mukasey continued to hedge:
MUKASEY:I think we are now in a situation where [that issue] had been brought within statutes, and that’s the procedure going forward
SPECTER: That’s not the point. The point is that he acted in violation of statutes, didn’t he?
MUKASEY: I don’t know whether he acted in violation of statutes.

Musk Rat knows very well Bush violated FISA law, but he was appointed to play dumb. Musk Rat came in with a great reputation and career Judge on paper. But he took money from the White House to lie as Gonzales has done. Musk Rat should just sit back and take the 5th and be done with it. He knows very well these are crimes against the United States that would be death to both Bush and Cheney. I'm still emailing the United Nations to bring War Crimes against the Bush Administration.
