I understand the connection to Clinton using his plane or whatever... Am I to believe good old  Al 'water board 'em if you got 'em' Gonzales directed Acosta's hand for the sake of old saxamaphone bill?  

I don't doubt others signed off on it, but I find it more likely big ol' kenny 'let me sniff your stogie' starr was able to call in a favor for his client.

But, hey, this is all speculation.  what we do know is poor alex 'don't call it prosecution' acosta was absolutely involved.    

Quote:I think we'd all like to think we'd have the moral fiber to potentially ruin our professional lives by opposing a decision we thought unethical or shady.  Problem is, when you're immersed in such a scenario it's rarely that simple.  This is compounded by the fact that far more powerful people are the ones actually making the decision.  

I pass up lucrative business deals on the daily knowing they do not conform to standards; legal, ethical or others.  I completely agree with the position of power, but a better person would have found a creative way to either stymie that coarse of action (anonymous whistleblower) or absolve themselves of the duty (quit and be able to sleep at night knowing you are not enabling a child predator).

That being said, the more you've forced me to think about it, these attributes make him the perfect trump admin nominee.  Not surprising when put in context.

Quote:As you say, Acosta is just the face of this deal, I don't think the lion's share of blame for it should fall on him.  

Well, lets start with putting blame on him and see where it takes us.  Gotta start somewhere.  

Quote:As I explained above I completely disagree.  Please feel free to explain otherwise though.

I get what you're driving at there partner, just found it a bit perfunctory.
