Nice little lead up to tomorrows Gonzales grilling:
"Two former U.S. attorneys said today they believe ongoing investigations into the dismissals last year of eight federal prosecutors could result in criminal charges against senior Justice Department officials."
So Al's on the hot seat and this kind of heresy is floating about: "they believe White House political operative Karl Rove and his aides instigated the dismissals and ultimately decided who among the nation's 93 U.S. attorneys should be fired." They being none other than John McKay and David Iglesias.
Music to my ears: "I think there will be a criminal case that will come out of this," McKay said during his meeting with (Seattle) Times journalists. "This is going to get worse, not better."
Tonight Olbermann indicated Gonzales appears to be relying simply on Bush's unconditional love, that no matter how ignorant, stupid, defenseless, and moronic he looks in front of career politicians and the American public, George will bail him out. Things ain't shaping up so good.
I hope those questioning Alberto have a chance to read what others are saying ("McKay and Iglesias said they believe Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty lied under oath when they testified before Congress..."). Better yet, hope Karl's readin this stuff and greasin' up, cause it may be time to squirm. A cornered rat is a dangerous animal.
