| - by user MisterApologist Is Sheldon Adelson the man behind the suggestion to fire Las Vegas based U.S. Attorney Daniel Bogden? " They didn’t feel Dan was being aggressive enough in two areas: adult obscenity cases and anti-terror cases." -Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty speaking to Republican Senator John Ensign. The Attorney General says Daniel Bogden wasn't aggressive enough with adult obscenity cases... or perhaps was it that he was TOO AGGRESIVE with one particular obscenity case? Particularly ones involving the now convicted ex- County Commissioner/ lobbyist Lance Malone whose client/billionaire hotel mogul Sheldon G. Adelson has given nearly $750,000 to the Republican party From the Review Journal - "...Sheldon Adelson, owner of The Venetian, who filtered $190,000 to Malone's campaign through his companies and the Republican Party. The significant contributions from a controversial figure became the first of many nicks to Malone's reputation. He was labeled Adelson's puppet."(my emphasis) So a hugely influential Republican Donor loses his "puppet" to some self-serving U.S. Attorney named Daniel Bogden. I'm sure Adelson had plenty of connections in the Nevada Republican Party and in the White House that could relay the message to dump this attorney. The explanations given so far have been incomplete and incongruous to the facts. Sheldon Adelson has donated at a Republican to Democrat ratio of nearly four to one that includes 0$ in donations for Democrats since 98' ...doesn't this sound like the kind of donor that might get special treatment from this Administration?.... His $746,963 in Donations include but are not limited to : Rick Sanatorum- $2,100 Tom Delay- $6,200 George Bush Re-election Campaign- $4,000 Republican National Committee- $50,000 National Republican Senatorial Committee- $125,000 Soft money RNC Republican State Elections Committee (during the Gore recount)- $122,000 Soft Money John Ensign- Almost $65,000 including money to the NRSC, which he heads. - Could Adelson have kept his name secret in this process to protect his relationship with one of his most prized possessions? --- John Ensign and his comments on Dan Bogden. The Attorney General and his staff have given conflicting accounts of the firing of Daniel Bogden. What else haven't they mentioned and who else might be involved in these supposedly "random" firings?' **- Conflicting Statements are the least of their worries.
