Farewell, Al

In his farewell speech to DOJ employees Friday, Al had the following to say:

“We’re all human and all of us make mistakes, and the thing that’s important is to idenfity when those mistakes are made, acknowledge the mistakes, correct the mistakes and then you move on.”

Al, I am so happy you are moving on.  But, according to your own words, you should not move on - and neither should we - until you “acknowledge the mistakes [and] correct the mistakes.”

So, Al…   when will you act with some measure of grace and integrity, and “acknowledge the mistakes [and] correct the mistakes”?

Oh, oh…  that’s right.   You tucking tail and running without “acknowledg[ing] the mistakes” is about the best way of “acknowledg[ing] the mistakes [and] correct[ing] the mistakes.”   However, Al, that still leaves your own primary requirement of “acknowledge the mistakes.”

When will you finally “acknowledge the mistakes,” Al?  When will you finally admit that your personal politics - and those of the president - took precedence over prosecutorial competence at the Department of Justice?
