Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire !

The way I see it it's all over but the shoutin for
Atty. Gen. Albert Gonzales. His integrity has
been compromised and when that happens to
a public official in his capacity it's time to start
sending out resumes for other employment.
Now look at the other side of the coin, how
many hispanics has he let down especially
latino kids who viewed him as a role model.
The top cop in the land is a liar and he's hispanic.
Thats what people see and will remember the
most about Alberto Gonzales.


Despite his earlier denials, Atty. Gen. Alberto R. Gonzales was deeply involved in discussions that led to the firing of eight U.S. attorneys, his former chief of staff testified Thursday.D. Kyle Sampson told the Senate Judiciary Committee that the attorney general had participated in "at least five" meetings on the subject over the course of more than two years, and had other encounters in which the "strengths and weaknesses" of prosecutors were discussed.

"I don't think the attorney general's statement that he was not involved in any discussions of U.S. attorney removals was accurate," Sampson said.Sampson's testimony could be a major blow to Gonzales, who is struggling to hold on to his job in the face of growing criticism from Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill.

Sampson also disclosed how he and a small band of young lawyers at the Justice Department and the White House decided which U.S. attorneys should be replaced last year.In one revelation that seemed to startle some senators, Sampson described how he proposed replacing the U.S. attorney in Chicago, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, who was at the time investigating White House political strategist Karl Rove and others to discover who exposed the identity of a covert CIA operative."I said, 'Pat Fitzgerald could be added to this list,' " Sampson said. He was in a meeting with then-White House Counsel Harriet E. Miers and Deputy Counsel William Kelley.

"They looked at me like I had said something totally inappropriate, and I had. Immediately after I did it, I regretted it."Fitzgerald, regarded as one of the top prosecutors in the nation, subsequently won the conviction of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, for perjury in the CIA operative case.Sampson also disclosed that one of the fired U.S. attorneys, David C. Iglesias of New Mexico, was not pegged for dismissal until October, just as two Republican members of Congress were inquiring about his handling of a public corruption investigation of state Democrats.
