Redundancy Still Lies lies and More lies
They sacrificed the deputy AG. Why didn't Gonzalez mention this BEFORE?? Had he forgotten that the deputy AG signed off on these firings?? All through all that testimony he forgot about this? LOL !!!! Good try, alberto.
Hey ... maybe the guy wasn't even THERE long enough to sign off on the firings. He's only been there 18 months !!!
Carol Lam had the White House targeted She was fired Feb. 2007 so that (though obvious in reason) does hold up for this lie. (LOL that plausible stuff)
Talking Points says there are now NINE fired US attorneys.
I'll check on the other dates -- I think it would be enormously funny if some of them were gone before the deputy AG got on the scene. Maybe the GOP is at least smart enough to have covered gonzo there.
Gonzales: Deputy was pointman on firings By LARA JAKES JORDAN, Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Tuesday he relied on his resigning deputy more than any other aide to decide which U.S. attorneys should be fired last year.
His comments came a less than a day after Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty announced he would resign at the end of the summer — a decision that people familiar with the plans said was hastened by the controversy over the purge of eight prosecutors.
"You have to remember, at the end of the day, the recommendations reflected the views of the deputy attorney general. He signed off on the names," Gonzales told reporters at a National Press Club forum in Washington. "And he would know better than anyone else, anyone in this room, anyone — again, the deputy attorney general would know best about the qualifications and the experiences of the United States attorneys community, and he signed off on the names."
McNulty, reached in San Antonio after Gonzales' remarks, declined to comment.
McNulty has acknowledged approving the list of prosecutors who were ordered to leave last October, a few weeks before the firings were made official. But documents released by the Justice Department show he was not closely involved in picking all the U.S. attorneys who were put on the list — a job mostly driven by two Gonzales staffers with little prosecutorial experience.
Gonzales ultimately signed off on the list in a process that Congress is investigating to see whether the firings were politically motivated.
Gonzales also called McNulty's pending departure "a loss. ... I'm really going to miss him
