Hoffa is also posting his valentines to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The hope is that the Justice Department will shutter the three-member Independent Review Board, which monitors the union for fraud.

...three-judge panel of the federal appeals bench named former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova to conduct the probe of senior Bush aides who have admitted they knew of the searches as they were occurring and did nothing to stop them. DiGenova must determine whether the Bush staff members in fact lied to State Department Inspector General Sherman Funk or violated Clinton's privacy with leaks.
