Iglesias, David, Seay, Davin

SUMMARY

The inside story of the biggestpolitical scandal of the decade "A year later, the U.S. Attorney scandal still matters-and not simply because it ties Karl Rove and Harriet Miers to brazen efforts to manipulate both laws and legal processes for partisan ends. It also has legs because unlike so many of the Bush administration scandals, the trail neither begins nor ends with top-secret legal memos but with dozens of small e-mails, meetings, threats, and phone calls being investigated at various levels of government. Iglesias's book reminds us that while his former bosses may shred the e-mails, sack the bumblers, obstruct Congress, and-quoting Sampson again-try to gum this scandal to death, the truth will come out, eventually. His book is a good start." -Dahlia Lithwick, Slate "For those of us honored to have served as United States Attorneys, In Justice reminds us once again of the importance and sanctity of the responsibility entrusted to us. For future United States Attorneys, it provides a clear example of how one can and should serve with honor and integrity in this powerful post. For those men and women currently serving, it reveals to them how fleeting can be that power if others in positions of power seek to improperly pressure you and you refuse-as did David Iglesias-to accede to their improper entreaties." - Bob Barr, former United States Attorney and former member of the U.S. House of Representatives (R-Ga.) "In Justice is a chilling tale of the subversion of the Constitution for political purposes. What was done to David Iglesias and his colleagues constitutes complete and utter disregard for the rule of law that underpins our great republic. Americans will rightly be appalled and Republicans ashamed at this abuse of power." - Joseph C. Wilson, author of The Politics of Truth "The lasting value of David Iglesias's outstanding book extends far beyond its fascinating, insightful, and candid account of the political firestorm ignited by the simultaneous firings of seven United States Attorneys. Its account of the courageous, principled commitment of these U.S. Attorneys to assess cases according to the facts and the law rather than succumb to political pressure and partisan loyalties reveals how he and his colleagues turned an attempt to corrupt the finest traditions of the Department into a victory for the continued independence of U.S. Attorneys and the rule of law." -James Eisenstein, Professor of Political Science, Penn StateIglesias, David is the author of 'In Justice', published 2008 under ISBN 9780470261972 and ISBN 0470261978.
