Re-Visiting and Extending the “Political Profiling of Elected Democratic Officials” - Discussion

Wed Oct 24, 2007 at 06:39:18 PM EST

On Tuesday October 23, 2007, Donald C. Shields, Ph.D. will testify before two Congressional Committees. His testimony will revolve around his ongoing study of "political profiling" of Democratic officials.

Dr. Shields describes his upcoming testimony:

"I testify before the House Committee on the Judiciary's Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security and the Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law on their joint hearing on "Allegations of Selective Prosecution: The Erosion of Public Confidence in our Federal Judicial System" at 10:00am Tuesday, October 23, 2007 in room 2141 of the Rayburn House Office Building."

He shares his updated results with ePluribus Media and also indepth information on how he performed his study, the methodology used and the results that he obtained. The following is excerpted from the full article:

"Irony clearly describes the revelations provided in the recent study on federal political profiling of elected Democrat officials and candidates when considered along with the concurrent disclosures about partisan politics surrounding the Gonzales firings of between eight and 15 of our “nation’s chief law enforcement officers.” This was revealed through U.S. Senate and House Judiciary Committee hearings, witness testimony, and released public documents. The combination of this important issue with the political profiling piece, and the extensive public discussion accorded it in the press, by Congress and Administration apologists and other media including the electronic publication of "Political Profiling of Elected Democratic Officials" in the ePluribus Media Journal on February 18, 2007, has rightfully caused many questions to be asked.

This analysis follows the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who President Bush described as an AG who "aggressively and successfully pursued public corruption." Gonzales' resignation provided another opportunity to interrupt this eight-year longitudinal study of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) and U.S. Attorneys’ public corruption initiative during the Bush Administration."
