the fired U.S. attorney in New Mexico, had sent an e-mail to a

colleague, when he-- and he called his firing a "political fragging,"

the word that you use when soldiers kill each other soldiers on one side

kill each other.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>BILL MOYERS:</b> Marshall first heard about this from another

blogger in New Mexico. As he followed up, it became apparent that

Iglesias, a Republican, had been "fragged" by his own party.</font>

<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Two senior

Members of Congress from New Mexico, Senator Pete Domenici and

Representative Heather Wilson, had telephoned Iglesias asking him for

information about sealed indictments in a politically charged

investigation concerning state Democrats.</font></span></p><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

</font></span><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><b>JOSH MARSHALL:</b> Representative Wilson, who is Senator Domenici's protégé, was in a very tight race for reelection ... that she eventually won.</span>

But she, it would have been very helpful for her if a Democrat would

have been indicted right before the election. That's why they called

him. That's why the Senator and Representative called him, leaned on him

to bring the indictment. He wouldn't. And I think that was it. And I

think that's why he got fired.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>BILL MOYERS:</b> Iglesias told Congress he considered the call from Domenici highly improper.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>DAVID IGLESIAS (3/6/07):</b> And he wanted to ask me about the

corruption matters or the corruption cases that had been widely reported

in the local media. I said, 'All right.' And he said, 'Are these going

to be filed before November?' And I said I didn't think so. And to which

he replied, 'I'm very sorry to hear that.' And then the line went dead.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>SENATOR SCHUMER: </b>So in other words, he hung up on you?</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>MR. IGLESIAS:</b> That's how I took that. Yes, sir.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>SENATOR SCHUMER: </b>And you didn't say goodbye or anything like that?</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>MR. IGLESIAS: </b>No, sir.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>SENATOR SCHUMER: </b>Now did you take that as a sign of his unhappiness with your decision?</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>MR. IGLESIAS: </b>I felt sick afterward. So I felt he was upset that -- at hearing the answer that he received.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>SENATOR SCHUMER: </b>Right. And so, is it fair to say that you felt pressured to hurry subsequent cases and prosecutions as a result of the call?</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>MR. IGLESIAS: </b>Yes, sir. I did. I felt leaned on. I felt pressured to get these matters moving.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>SENATOR SCHUMER: </b>And as you say, it was unusual for you to receive a call from a senator at home while you were the U.S. attorney.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>MR. IGLESIAS: </b>Unprecedented. It had never happened.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>BILL MOYERS:</b> Senator Domenici wasn't just calling the

prosecutor. He reached out to the White House where Karl Rove and the

president had already passed onto Gonzales complaints that Iglesias was

not moving on allegations that Democrats were voting improperly in local

elections.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>JOSH MARSHALL:</b> The fact that he wouldn't bring what I think

would have clearly been bogus indictments, put him on the outs with

Republican Party officials in his state. And that led to a string of

complaints from Republicans in New Mexico to Karl Rove, to the

President. So, he was already on thin ice.</font></p>

<div>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The answer was, not even remotely. I called the federal prosecutor, a rising star in the Republican Party, US Attorney David Iglesias. He found Ms. Fox-Young’s evidence just a load of bollocks, though he didn’t use those words, I’ll admit.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Iglesias hadn’t arrested one single person in the entire state for voter fraud, despite the fact that the GOP campaign to prevent “fraud” in the state had resulted in the rejection of 28,000 voters and ballots, almost all Democrats.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In other words, the guy in charge of enforcing the law had not and would not bust a single person for the crime that justified his party’s pogrom against Hispanic voters all across the Southwest.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">I wasn’t the only one to note that C<b>aptain Iglesias (he had remained in the Naval Reserve as one of the Navy’s top adjutant generals) was not busting Bad Voters.</b></font>

<b><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Around the same time, I discovered that Allen Weh, chairman of the state Republican Party, and Pat Rogers, the party’s lawyer, complained to the White House about Iglesias failing to cuff these Hispanic voters after sending him 50 names, likely from the caging lists.</font></b>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In 2008, Iglesias was able to tell me he “ran all over the plateaus of New Mexico with FBI agents” tracking down these fraudulent voters and found nothing but good citizens.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">That wouldn’t do for the party apparatchiks.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The Republican Chairman Weh, and his counsel, Pat Rogers, brought in an enforcer from the White House: Karl Rove.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In my line of business I hear a lot that could make you shiver, but what Captain Iglesias told me that day in 2008 was one of the most chilling things I’d ever heard from a US official.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The GOP honchos, state and federal, he said, wanted him to lock up voters no matter the evidence. They wanted him to indict innocent people to justify their vote-blocking laws.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Iglesias told me, “I didn’t help them with their bogus fraud prosecutions.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Rove’s buddies leaned on Iglesias, but they picked the wrong guy. Captain Iglesias was one of the models for the Tom Cruise character, the crusading military defense lawyer, in the film <em>A Few Good Men</em>. Iglesias told the Rove-bots to stick their phony prosecution demands where the votes don’t shine.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">So, President Bush fired Iglesias. And he wasn’t the only one. Seven other US attorneys, good Republicans but ethical ones, were removed by the White House and replaced by pliant Rove-bots.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">At first, the US press didn’t notice. Iglesias was officially fired for “absenteeism”—because he was placed by the president on active duty and sent to Bosnia to address war crimes.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The press asked no questions, but one of my fans did when he watched my London broadcast on caging for BBC. Congressman John Conyers has always kept abreast of our investigations for BBC television. Conyers called me, then called hearings. He had plenty of evidence that the firings were illegal.</font></p>

</div>

<div>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">But the problem, Conyers told me, was that his fellow congressmen wouldn’t go after the real issue, the motive for the firings: suppressing the vote of minority citizens. Conyers, dean of the Congressional Black Caucus, had the problem that while he was chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, the majority of them were Republicans or other members of the Congressional “White” Caucus.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The committee would concentrate only on the firings as “political,” and a repeat-a-press-release US media covered it that way, never getting to the real motive. And most important, the Bush White House stonewalled Conyers’ subpoena for cage-meister Griffin’s boss, Karl Rove.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Conyers forced Griffin’s cronies at the Justice Department to cough up their files on Iglesias’ firing which included this smoking pistol: Iglesias -- Underachiever in very important district. That’s the failure to bust innocent voters.</font></p>

</div>

<div>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Absentee landlord. That’s his 40-day assignment for the Navy. Firing reserve officers on active duty is a crime, but hell, that’s nothing compared to the next felony on the list.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Domenici says he doesn’t move cases. This is Republican Senator Pete Domenici who, said Iglesias, woke him up at home to tell Iglesias to speed up the indictment of a Democrat prior to the election.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Oops. He’s telling a United States attorney to indict citizens, and attacking his failure to “move” when the senator tells him too.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">I asked the prosecutor if Rove had him removed as punishment for not bringing the fake cases. “If his intent was, ‘look what happened with Iglesias,’ if that was his intent, he’s in big trouble. That is obstruction of justice, one classic example.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Iglesias was screwing them bad. The captain and eight other prosecutors were getting all precious about bringing bogus cases. That was undermining the GOP’s attempt to obtain new voter ID laws. The failure to find illegal voters put the lie to their campaign to prove the nation’s top voter registration organization, ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), had registered fraudulent voters. Getting ACORN was Republican operative Pat Rogers’ obsession, which he made into a national cause of the GOP and other politicians in the White Caucus as lawyer for the “nonpartisan” American Center for Voting Rights. It should have been called, American Center Against Voting. Everything the group proposed would cut the number of citizens voting by millions.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">I wanted to ask Rogers why he brought in Rove and why he had Captain Iglesias gunned down. But Rogers didn’t want to answer my formal request for BBC TV. But I figured he couldn’t pass up the free champagne they would pour at a GOP victory party. At the soiree to which I obtained press credentials under another name, I caught Rogers in half-sip with an unseen microphone that captured his personal reviews of my reporting skills. “He’s an asshole,” he told a crony before greeting me warmly as the cameras rolled.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“Iglesias was not capable in his job.” Which was, apparently, hunting ACORN.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“ACORN hired a collection of people who fraudulently registered persons who are not eligible to vote. ACORN is working for the Democratic Party,” said Rogers. (He wore a flag lapel pin the party handed to all the champagne sippers. They gave me one of the Republican freebie flags. I still have it in the wrapper. Take a look: Made in China.)</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Had Rogers unmasked a conspiracy between ACORN and the Democratic Party—covered up from them by US Attorney Iglesias, a Republican? Wow!</font></p>

</div>

<div>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“Conspiracy,” said Rogers mysteriously, “is a loose word.” Rogers is fond of loose words. He’d recently held a press conference waving a list of a half-dozen fraudulent voters registered by ACORN. With his full house of illegal voters, Rogers made a huge splash in the papers. Then Iglesias made a total ass out of Rogers, by not busting even one.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">What the hell, even a jerk reporter like me will give Rogers a chance. I checked out all six of these ne’er-do-wells, these fugitives from justice. I began at a diner in Cerritos where I tracked Melissa Tais, notorious for allowing another voter with another signature to use her name so she and her confederate could vote twice.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Actually, what she’d done was fill out one registration form at an ACORN table, but never received the receipt. So, following the law’s requirements, she reregistered, this time signing while holding the form in her hand so the signature was a little shaky—resulting in two admittedly different-looking signatures.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">So, did she vote twice? No. County officials hauled her into a hearing and it shook her up so much she wouldn’t vote at all. And that’s what they wanted.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">But Iglesias wouldn’t play and ACORN continued to register Hispanic and low-income voters until 2009, when Andrew Breitbart (who has since returned to the bosom of Satan) blew up some cockamamie sting which had nothing to do with voting—and put ACORN out of the registration business. (ACORN’s one-time lawyer, Barack Obama, averted his gaze as the media jackals savaged the poor folks’ group, then paid for his pusillanimity in 2010 when Congress flipped color from Blue to Red.)</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The US attorney firings occurred just in time for the 2008 election. Iglesias wasn’t alone, of course. Tom Heffelfinger, Republican US attorney for Minnesota, was on the hit list for defending Native American voters from an attack by the GOP’s Minnesota secretary of state. Iglesias called his buddy in Arkansas who was taken down for similar pangs of conscience, but agreed to step aside without a fight so his friend, President Bush, could make his own choice.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">And Bush’s choice was...Tim Griffin.</font></p>

</div>

<div>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Now, instead of being prosecuted for crimes, Tim became the prosecutor. At Karl Rove’s behest, Tim Griffin was appointed US attorney for Arkansas.</font></p>
