In my first sweep through the DOJ firings docudump, I’m not finding any answers to a question that I posed to David Iglesias during his book salon.

And I’d looooove to know the answer.

It’s John Anderson’s fault. When I was reading his fabu book, Follow The Money, I noticed a cryptic note about some Rove tactical maneuvering that stuck in my mind.

The tidbit in a footnote on page 277: details of Rove’s prior use of a pliant USAtty office in San Antonio for payback against political opponents as a template for the current USAtty scandal and politicization questions embroiling the DOJ. So many of Rove’s actions are repeats of successful smaller oppo actions in his past — what other predictors are we missing?

In David’s book, he mentions that he had a conversation with the USAtty from San Antonio, Johnny Sutton, who warned Iglesias that he’d been given a sneak peek at a list that David’s name was on that was not going to be good news.

What list did Sutton see? From whom did he get that sneak peek? And why?

I’ve asked and asked about this, and still haven’t found any answers. But I’d sure like to see someone ask Mr. Sutton. Wouldn’t you?
