Who Will Investigate the Justice Department for Potentially Facilitating Obstruction of Justice?
A BUZZFLASH READER COMMENTARY by Robert E. Reynolds You may want to go to NPR’s web site to get the transcript and the exact wording of Nina Totenberg’s comments on the Morning Show, 6a.m. EDT segment, Thurs. 10/2/03. She was discussing the limits on the Justice Dept. professionals, for instance that they can not on their own call a journalist before a Grand Jury. She stated that at the request of the White House, the DOJ deferred for 24 hours the request that all documents, email, logs be held and preserved in the investigation of the Plame outing. This is one more reason for a Special Counsel. If it can ever be shown that documents or other material was destroyed in that period it may be the basis for a charge of obstruction of justice. The person who made the request should be revealed to the public and the DOJ and Ashcroft made to explain why they complied with this request. Robert E.
