Bipartisan Concern About the Dangers of McPalin’s Hate-Mongering

This post, written by Lane Hudson, originally appeared on News For The Left

From the Washington Post:

The Justice Department is investigating whether departing Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales gave false or misleading testimony to Congress on a broad range of issues, including the Bush administration's warrantless surveillance program and the removal of nine U.S. attorneys last year, the lead investigator said today.

The disclosure by Inspector General Glenn A. Fine shows that internal investigations that began with the prosecutor firings have widened substantially to include a focus on Gonzales's actions and statements.

Amazing, huh? The state of our Justice system must be pretty messed up when the Attorney General of the United States is being investigated by his own subordinates. Or perhaps it means that the system is finally starting to work....

Standing in the Light [Report this comment] Posted by: the islander on Aug 31, 2007 9:19 AM Current rating: 5 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] Gonzales is facing the one thing that terrifies every member of the Bush White House -- the light. They are scurrying off one by one as fast and nceremoniously as they can into the dark corners [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] Will this be a whitewash? [Report this comment] Posted by: stans67 on Aug 31, 2007 5:03 PM Current rating: 5 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] The current administration and the Republicans in power have a history of "keeping up appearances" and saying that they are doing the right thing, while in fact, not doing so. I don't know who is left in the DOJ. My guess is that many of the truly responsible and competent professionals have been driven out long ago by the agenda-driven partisans. Will this be a whitewash, where a sham investigation finds everything is ok? [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5]
