New Gonzales Scandal Testimony May Be the Smoking Gun [VIDEO]
In testimony before Congress former Deputy Attorney General James Comey describes how Alberto Gonzales tried to bully a gravely ill John Ashcroft into doing the President's bidding on domestic surveillance. Comey's appearance follows revelations that the Justice Department's inspector general and Office of Professional Responsibility are investigating whether Monica Goodling, a former Gonzales aide, illegally considered political affiliation in reviewing candidates for the assistant prosecutor jobs in the offices of interim or acting U.S. attorneys. The Washington Post reports that Comey's testimony is "an account of Bush administration lawlessness so shocking it would have been unbelievable coming from a less reputable source." Could this be the final nail in Gonzales' coffin?
