Comments on: Iglesias, Wilson disagree over whether FBI probe happened http://newmexicoindependent.com/33873/did-the-fbi-probe-madrid-pay-to-play-controversy New Mexico news and politics Fri, 02 Sep 2011 18:15:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: broadway1 http://newmexicoindependent.com/33873/did-the-fbi-probe-madrid-pay-to-play-controversy#comment-22547 broadway1 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 02:52:41 +0000 http://newmexicoindependent.com/?p=33873#comment-22547 Iglesias should be praised for having the guts to speak out on this and boldly confront the flimsy story that Wilson is making up years after the fact. Since when does the FBI go to your political opponent to get their evidence, how dumb does she think we are? It is shocking that our Justice system was being used to smear the political opponents of Wilson and Domenici. So they fired Iglesias because he was not willing to be partisan enough. Meaning he honored his oath of office. So then the most scary issue no one is talking about is this - if Fourrat was the replacement for Iglesias who was not doing what the GOP wanted in misusing the prosecutors office for political gain, what does this mean? You have to admit there has been a high number of political cases by his office, all against democrats, but who knows? In the end, we sadly have no watchdog agency at the state or federal level whose job it is to monitor the prosecutors or investigators, so they have no fear. The DOJ is the one investigating this case. There are many prosecutors over the years that have used the system for political gain.

She witnessed this tragedy time and again. She had NO trouble whatsoever keeping the concentration of casinos down in this state. If she could pull in 10 million a year for higher education in NM and a million dollars to educate our NM kids in Gadsden. <br>Madrid always had a talent for pulling money in for the people of NM. She brought so much money into the AG's office, she had trouble spending it fast enough for her constitutes. <br>Thank god a woman of her talents is still working on behalf of Democrats nationally.
