Will Alberto Gonzales Take the Fifth? (Brent Budowsky)
@ 3:19 pm

When we take the dress off the pig, today Kyle Sampson said Alberto Gonzales is a liar.

The attorney general told the Congress and the nation he was not involved in the firings of U.S. attorneys. We can dress this up nine different ways, we can use the weasel words of official Washington, but this is clear:

Alberto Gonzales lied.

Here is the problem for the President:

He wants to replace Gonzales but has extreme problems finding a successor who is both honest and will accept the job.

The president is afraid of an honest attorney general because the trail of wrongdoing would be exposed by an AG who faithfully executes the law.

The president cannot get an AG who will play the cover-up game, because the cover-up AG candidates won’t accept the job for fear of being indicted.

This is an administration full of Scooter Libbys protecting Dick Cheneys.
