"It's a scare tactic"

I don't know if you read Talking Points Memo or not, but if you don't, or if you missed it, here's an interview with David Iglesias on ACORN and Bud Cummins. Teaser:

"I'm astounded that this issue is being trotted out again. Based on what I saw in 2004 and 2006, it's a scare tactic." - Iglesias

"If you can't say it with your name on it, it's fair to say you should not be saying it." - Cummins

Who are Iglesias and Cummins, and why should we care what they say?

Iglesias got fired not long after the 2006 midterm election because he wouldn't get off the dime and bring bogus vote fraud indictments against Democrats or time other indictments of Democrats to sway the 2006 election. In other words, he got canned for not doing what a number of his former colleagues at the DOJ are happily doing this very day.

Nor was Iglesias simpy a respected attorney with solid enough connections to swing a US Attorney appointment. He was a rising start in the New Mexico Republican party. Iglesias was the Republican nominee for Attorney General in 1998. This was that reassuring case where a political person's partisan attachments butted up against his integrity and the latter won the day hands down. This is someone who knows this scam from the inside and whose testimony -- literal and figurative -- comes not in line with partisan attachments but in spite of them. Everyone should listen.

Bud Cummins is another of the fired attorneys; he comments in the interview on the propriety of the timing involved, and the anonymity.
