The DOJ has no credibility nor integrity.
That would be the District Attorney’s job.
He’s not used to AG’s who actually do stuff.
Those were the days…when the AG’s only job was to sit on Karl Rove’s thumb and spin.
investigating Gale Norton for trading oil shale leases worth hundreds of billions for a job. Can’t we look forward, not backward?
I’m sure it must be because Holder is … I know you’re dying to say it…
That will have a ton of traction with the faction.
You, of all people, have no business saying who has credibility and who has not.
when he clicks on his comments tab and sees 5 or so replies.
It’s working! It’s really working! he thinks
We have missed your totally partisan unthinking bullshit.
whereas the ACORN allegations just came to light and therefore the investigation by state or federal authorities or both is only now at the stage where they decide whether to pursue the organization and/or the individuals who worked for ACORN.
and my faith in humanity is crushed.
Gale Norton, of all people. Under the administration of GW Bush, no less. Corporate shenanigans and corrupted officals. Who’d a thunk it? Didn’t see that coming.
And why isn’t Holder investigating that damn dog across the street with it’s incessant barking? I mean, any potential lawbreaking anywhere in the whole U.S. is clearly his jurisdiction….
Consultants scramble to kill Norton yard sign order. How about just “Jane for Governor”?
for Repubs to tell the difference. Gale…rhymes with Jail.
It’s a start, at least.
I’m not convinced that Gale Norton is going to jail, in any way
If I’m not mistaken, I believe SHELL has the best technology for oil-shale exploration, and the leases in question all dealt with oil-shale leasing?
If my thoughts are correct, Norton will probably demonstrate that Shell was the only oil company capable of even putting these leases to use…? I could be completely wrong, but that’s what I’m gathering based on what I’ve researched…
been researching their process for many years, but Chevron may have come up with a better idea. Chevrons’ is a process that uses CO2 injected into the ground to pick up kerogen and bring it back to the surface (much like decaffeinating coffee, actually). Unlike Shells’ process, it doesn’t require heat, and therefore doesn’t require the massive amounts of electricity required by Shell.
It also does not require isolation of the production zone from ground water (hence Shells’ dependence on a problematic “freeze wall”). Chevron, according to their spokesperson, will not have a pilot project ready to test for at least another eight years or so. Aquifer pollution could be their biggest hurdle.
I know this has little to do with the prison bound Gale Norton (just joking MAH), but I thought you might be interested.
With that said, did Chevron apply for these leases as well?
If Norton can demonstrate that Shell had the only competent application, my bets are that she’s safe
The other is that she discussed future employment with Shell before leaving her government position.
The New York Times reported recently that federal investigators have turned up new evidence Norton talked with Shell about a job before awarding the leases, which touches on both crimes she’s accused of:

MAH, I know you think highly of Norton, but her Interior Department was a cesspool of corruption, so why should it surprise you she might have partaken in some of it along with her most trusted advisors and right-hand man? Plus, this is a former Colorado attorney general we’re talking about — skirting this close to blatant corruption, whether “she’s safe” or not, should elicit outrage, not protective pooh-poohing.
Still – I’m opting to wait on what the entire hearing exposes and judges, before making any assumptions
I don’t know if Chevron applied or not.
but did you get my email, MAH?
….I don’t think I did?
Did you email Hasan2008@mac.com?
I haven’t seen anything yet 🙁
I thought it was sort of odd that I hadn’t heard back from you. You’re the 3rd person this weekend who didn’t get an email from me so the glitch is on my end.
