Clinton Appointed Federal Judge Being Impeached

Bad enough, the libs don't want to say who appointed him, but apparently they knew he was a crook when he was appointed!

A Federal judge from Louisiana is under a cloud of impeachment and if he’s convicted it’ll be the first Federal judge impeached in almost 20 years.

Sounds newsworthy!

The story was covered by the new wire service named ProPublica, a service that claims to be non-partisan. Yet in two stories on this judge there is not one mention of the fact that he was appointed to the bench by President Bill Clinton, nor that his corruption was known by the Department of Justice when Clinton made the appointment.

Yikes! Where is a Resident Partisan Scold when you need one??

...A while back, I wrote of a new wire service that was starting up to be called ProPublica. This new service claimed that it was going to be a non-partisan service but the fact that it was being funded by left-wing billionaires made me wonder about the veracity of that claim.

The stories tell about $80,000 of unaccounted for cash that drifted into the judge's accounts. (Isn't that almost what William "Dollar Bill" Jefferson had in his freezer?)

It turns out that President Bill Clinton put this corrupt judge on the bench in 1994, even though the Department of Justice knew this guy was a crook. Heck, even the Associated Press mentioned that this judge was a Clinton appointee. Yet strangely, the fact that this corrupt, bribe taking, gambling addicted, thief of a judge was a Clinton appointee didn’t seem relevant to ProPublica. I wonder what that says of ProPublica’s claims that it just wants to report the facts in a non-partisan manner?

Wow! When you are to the left of the AP in your bias, that's really saying something!
