Mukasey: Law-breaking Is Not A Crime

Via: http://yglesias.thinkprogress.org/
Michael Mukasey explains that just because his predecessors in the Justice Department were breaking the law with their hiring processes doesn’t mean anyone should be held accountable: “not every wrong, or even every violation of the law, is a crime.” It’s an excellent slogan for the Bush administration.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy said Mukasey "seems intent on insulating this administration from accountability."

Aren't their oaths to uphold the Constitution, fulfill the obligations of their office, etc. Keep in mind, Alberto The Worst AG" Gonzales denied any wrong doing. Now that there is wrong doing, it's considered OK. Where is the logic?

This is the best our top law enforcement can do? Not enforce laws?
