This caught my attention today:
Several high-profile FBI investigations, in which substantial progress have been made, may well have been put on hold by the Bush administration for political reasons. That is, it has been alleged to me that the White House may have leaned on the FBI-- not to drop the investigations but to postpone some key arrests until after the November elections.
There's been noise of delaying military action in Iraq until after the election as well, so I see this as fitting a pattern, but it also brought to mind an article by Kevin Drum, arguing that if Bush gets a second term we'll be treated to a hella messa scandal, and we're not talking about the stained blue dress variety.
I guess we'll see what happens...hopefully these investigations will bear fruit either way. The only question is whether they'll be front page news, or relegated to the back pages if Kerry's in office...
