Josh Marshall reports there is an 18-day gap -- first spotted by a commenter on the blog Talking Points Memo -- in the over 3,000 emails released by the Department of Justice pertaining to the attorney firing scandal.
The gap covers the days between November 15 and December 4, 2006. So far, only one email has been found dated within that 18 day period among those released in Monday night's document dump. The lone email, from November 29, 2006, was one forwarded by Justice official Michael Elston to a fellow staffer asking for an attached review document to be printed.
The gap, specifically because of its length, is an eerie reminder of the infamous eighteen-and-a-half minute gap in the Nixon tapes. As one blogger writes, "The Bush Administration is working overtime to make this attorney scandal look more and more like Watergate by the day."

It always amazed me how some people think that they can cover up a lie, with another lie, with another...deceitful act after deceitful act....and not expect to eventually get caught.
Are they really just that stupid?? Or are they so arrogant that they think no one would figure it out?
I hope this is the FINAL nail in their coffins. I still don't see how ANYONE can still continue to support them I really don't.

I just want to be able to expect more from our government. I want to know that they truly are doing what's best for our country...not what's best for themselves or their party.
And this is not exclusive towards republicans. The gate swings both ways!
My "Gate" swings both ways too LOL Sorry that door was WIDE OPEN.
