Miguel Tejada just reached a plea agreement today for lying to Congress in regard to Steroids.

Of note is as follows:

Tejada faces as much as a year in jail if convicted on the misdemeanor charge of making misrepresentations to Congress.

– and -

In the documents filed Tuesday, Tejada is charged with lying to investigators for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in 2005 when he denied knowledge of an ex-teammate’s use of performance-enhancing drugs.

What is wrong with this picture? The US Attorney’s Office for DC refuses to prosecute Schlozman, despite clear evidence in the Inspector General’s report.

Schlozman then:

"……, first as a Deputy Assistant Attorney General and subsequently as Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General and Acting Assistant Attorney General, considered political and ideological affiliations in hiring career attorneys and in other personnel actions affecting career attorneys in the Civil Rights Division. In doing so, he violated federal law – the Civil Service Reform Act –

[snip]

Moreover, Schlozman made false statements about whether he considered political and ideological affiliations when he gave sworn testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee and in his written responses to supplemental questions from the Committee. Schlozman is no longer employed by the Department and, therefore, is not subject to disciplinary action by the Department. We recommend, however, that, if criminal prosecution is declined these findings be considered if Schlozman seeks federal employment in the
future. We believe that his violations of the merit system principles set forth in the Civil Service Reform Act, federal regulations, and Department policy, and his subsequent false statements to Congress render him unsuitable for federal service.

There is still supposedly a probe going on about Abu Gonzales as well, but it has been strangly silent about that issue as well.

Maybe Elijah Cummings can look into this…. /s

In interest of full disclosure, I am not the only one to ask the question, this was Josh a couple of weeks ago when it was found they were interested in prosecuting Roger Clemens for perjury.
