calling for an investigation is like pissin in the wind

more on how the republicons rule...  from teh rocky mountain news:

U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar has asked for a federal and a state investigation into whether a Republican Party staffer should be charged with impersonating a Secret Service agent at a Denver town hall meeting on Social Security held by President Bush last month.

 

"I supported laws as (state) Attorney General, to keep people from impersonating law enforcement officers," said Salazar, D-Colorado, on Wednesday.

 

"We don't know the facts here, and I think in order to determine whether a prosecution is warranted, an investigation should occur first. The investigation may lead to the conclusion that nothing happened here, but the investigation may result in a conclusion that laws have been violated and somebody has to be punished."

 

On Tuesday, Salazar sent a letter asking for an investigation to Dennis Schindel, with the Office of the Inspector General for the Department of the Treasury, and to Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrisey.

 

The request for an investigation comes one day after U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., joined U.S. Rep. Raul M. Grijalva, D-Ariz., in asking the House Government Reform Committee to investigate several recent incidents in which citizens were removed from presidential events in Colorado, Arizona and North Dakota because of their political beliefs.
