I think Ashcroft is too sophisticated for his decisions to be based on blatant racism.
He has simply decided that his relationship with God gives him a special insight as to
how the country should be run, and that he was the man to do it. Since he knows he is
right, it doesn't matter to him who gets hurt. White was a target of opportunity that
was supposed to get him the Republican nomination for President. From what I have
heard, it was also personal. He simply didn't like the guy. So fairness became quite
unimportant to him. White was simply a way to get to what he wanted for himself.

With that attitude he shouldn't be a deputy sheriff, let alone AG.

He probably will be AG, however.
