Ashcroft testy moany: will he fall on his sword?

[KevinTheOmnivore]

Predictions are needed. Will Johnny take one for the team?? Reasons to believe he just might:

- He will undoubtedly be called out for the $58 million dollar FBI request he shot down, on 9/10/01, of all days.

- Even the conservative pundits and radio muckrakers have been attacking the FBI's handling of this. This, in my opinion, is an attempt to divert attention away from the August 2001 briefing.

- There have been rumors of a mix up at the Justice Department for at least a year now anyway. If Ashcroft puts the blame on himself, resigns, they can place "America's mayor" in his slot. Guliani will certainly not dismiss the importance for counter-terrorism funding, since his city was most directly harmed by 9/11.
