"We should gum this to death," Sampson wrote to a White House aide on Dec. 19. "ask the senators to give Tim a chance . . . then we can tell them we'll look for other candidates, ask them for recommendations, evaluate the recommendations, interview their candidates, and otherwise run out the clock. All of this should be done in 'good faith,' of course." In other words, screw the Senate, we'll do whatever we want and laugh in their faces. This is going to make the Senate very, very happy. I'll drop everything the day they grill Sampson, who can't avoid a subpoena now.
Putting good faith in quotes is really all you need to know about the ethics and morality of this pack of jackals.
