The Domenici/Wilson calls, in addition to being attempts at interfering with a federal prosecution and therefore obstruction of justice, were almost certainly aimed at using false corruption charges to unlawfully change the outcome of a federal election. So make that five crimes.
What's more, the "loyal Bushies" who continue to serve as US attorneys have been prosecuting Democratic candidates and officeholders far out of proportion to their representation in the government - the rate is eight investigations of Democrats for every one investigation of a Republican. This is an unprecedented abuse of the legal system for the purpose of subverting our electoral system. Which is, of course, yet another crime.
Not to mention that such an act lays the cornerstone for dictatorship, which our supposedly freedom-loving Republicans should abhor. How odd that instead, they seem to crave a one-party state.
