Culture of corruption follies

Just when things really heat up, a "routine" appointment takes the lead prosecutor in the Abramoff/Republican lobbying scandal off the case? Come on.

Lest you think the investigation began a month or two months ago and that some new guy'll just catch up, consider this: Noel L. Hillman is being removed from a TWO YEAR LONG INVESTIGATION into the Republican lobbyist and his considerable tentacles. If you've ever worked on a project, let alone led one, for two years, you know what this means.
