Horton has done an excellent job of recounting the history of the Bush administration's politicization of the Justice Dept. There are any number of additional facts that could be cited, but this is a blog piece, not a novel. The open question is whether Rove and others will pay any price at all for what they've done. Mukasey obviously won't enforce the law, and the Democrats seem unwilling (except for Henry Waxman and John Conyers) to take any serious measures to hold the Bush administration accountable. Among other things, the House Dems control the budget and haven't made the slightest effort to use the power of the purse to enforce their subpoenas.
