One Utah

Over at tpm, JMM has a post with a picture of Kyle Sampson who is apparently deeply involved in the prosecutor purge - the photo is courtesy of the BYU Alumni Association. Hm . . . BYU produced a sanctimonious tight ass who abused his position for partisan political purposes. Color me surprised. NOT.

I have a whole theory about the way they train people to (not) think at BYU and this quote from Sampson’s remarks confirms my not very nice theory:

“The distinction between ‘political’ and ‘performance-related’ reasons for removing a United States attorney is, in my view, largely artificial.”

Josh’s conclusion:

Sampson’s claim and conceit is not so much that he and his crew are innocent of the charge but that the charge doesn’t even really exist, that it’s all just a misunderstanding or a witch-hunt. What he did is fine, he says. The problem is just the “confusion, misunderstanding and embarrassment” caused by how the thing was handled.

So, have your eyes out for Sampson’s word play and games. This investigation is about whether Sampson and his crew corrupted the justice system by purging US Attorneys who wouldn’t use their prosecutorial powers to help the Republican party.
