Wow, I want this guy as my judge someday....
Attorney General Michael Mukasey, the head of United States Law Enforcement, has declined to press charges against former Justice Department officials who used a political litmus test to hire and fire employees.
Talking about it before the American Bar Association, he said - and I'm not making this up - "...not every wrong, or even every violation of the law, is a crime."
....
YES! YES IT IS, ASSHAT! A violation of the GODSDAMNED LAW is the fundamental definition of a CRIME!
Here - let's see what Merriam-Webster says: "An act or the commission of an act that is forbidden or the omission of a duty that is commanded by a public law and that makes the offender liable to punishment by that law."
How about yourdictionary.com: "An act committed in violation of a law prohibiting it, or omitted in violation of a law ordering it."
Or Dictionary.com: "An action or an instance of negligence that is deemed injurious to the public welfare or morals or to the interests of the state and that is legally prohibited." (emphasis mine)
Or Wictionary: "An act committed in violation of the law."
You see? This is why the last eight years have been a nightmarish political hellscape. Because people like this are running things. I don't care who the next President is, just so long as they put in positions of importance PEOPLE WHO FUCKING KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.
