And the "liberal MSM" can't connect the dots to the Justice Dept
shenanigans of firing US Attorneys who wouldn't prosecute baseless voter
fraud cases just before elections. How about the FBI instead?
"Funny" how that little US Attorneys case has been largely forgotten,
huh?
Iglesias has spoken on the subject:

"I'm astounded that this issue is being trotted out again," Iglesias
told TPMmuckraker. "Based on what I saw in 2004 and 2006, it's a scare
tactic." In 2006, Iglesias was fired as U.S. attorney thanks partly to
his reluctance to pursue voter-fraud cases as aggressively as DOJ wanted
-- one of several U.S. attorneys fired for inappropriate political
reasons, according to a recently released report by DOJ's Office of the
Inspector General.
Iglesias, who has been the most outspoken of the fired U.S. attorneys,
went on to say that the FBI's investigation seemed designed to
inappropriately create a "boogeyman" out of voter fraud.
