The egregious example is Tim Griffin, who was the administration's top lawyer in charge of political opposition research. He was mentioned in the last link, as well as in Feinstein's speech.

Barry Bonds and Bush aren't friends.

It's difficult to evaluate this situation without more information from less biased sources. What are these attorneys records? Is this routine or not? My own research uncovered the fact Bud Cummings is not a U.

Those attorneys deserved it.
