alberto gonzales

I did a search on the forum, but couldn’t find any thing about this specific aspect of the Pentagon witnesses. In a debate with a truther he claimed that April Gallop, Alberto Gonzales and the former Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Møller says that explosions went off at 9:32, but the official...

Story out in CQ Weekly today: The NSA was wiretapping the suspected Israeli agent, not Harman. Porter Goss was ready to brief Hastert and Pelosi on an investigation into Harman, but Alberto Gonzales intervened. He knew he could rely on Harman to defend the warrantless wiretapping program. And...

Revealed wisdom of Alberto B. Gonzales....talking about Mexico. "Mexico should have oral, public trials of major organized crime figures rather than having trials consist of written testimony read by a judge behind closed doors." http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/politics/6346960.html Irony...

http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-national/20081119/Cheney.Indicted/ Ok, as much as I don't like Evil Dick Cheney, this is a freakin' farce. Indict him for something he did do, ok, mmm? (reads the whole article) Ok, it COULD be real, but I think they found a witch. Look! A witch, a...

I've put this in Social Issues rather than politics, as it's more a comment about how Gonzales is perceived.... Mr. Gonzales was invited to speak at the university yesterday, an affair paid for out of Student Union funds to the tune of 30,000 dollars. That was Gonzales' honarium alone, likely...

Gonzales could be prosecuted, McKay says Justice.

Linky Not much more info than that so far. ETA: CNN is reporting it, too.

I didn't know whether to add this to the other threads or start a new one. Two threads focus on the Department of Justice attorney firings and how they are related to election manipulation and one focuses on Bush's abuse of executive privilege. The impeachment includes both those topics. The...

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales will deliver a 45-minute speech organized by TechNet Northwest, and is being sponsored and promoted by the Discovery Institute. See this article for more detail or this thread about John McCain speaking before the DI. On a side note, the institute’s main...

The "no confidence" vote is coming up and though Bush says he is sticking with Gonzales as Attorney general, my money is on him resigning because "he doesn't want to be a distraction" or some such noble reason. But when will it happen? Just after the vote? In a week? Never? Poll says....

Monday, May 14th, 2007; Investigative Journalist Greg Palast Reports on the Firing of New Mexico Attorney David Iglesias So here's the conspiracy, some or all of the federal attorney firings Attorney General Gonzales can't explain and the relevant emails are supposedly missing (like the infamous...

Two items on CNN today, one new, one old. The old one is that according to the former Deputy Attorney General, James Comey the White House sent people (one of whom was Alberto Gonzales) to visit John Ashcroft while he was in the hospital gravely ill, asking him to sign off on wiretappings...

On the day that former Department of Justice senior counselor and White House liaison Monica Goodling -- who earlier copped the fifth beneath the looming shadow of the "attorneygate" dustup -- was granted immunity to testify before Congress, a DoJ spokesman commented that, lo and behold, it...

Link Hmm. Should make for some interesting testimony.

Gov. Richardson Not Calling For Gonzales's Resignation "Because He's Hispanic" Link.

Link Will Bush listen?

http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/ Scroll down the the video under the title "We make the bullets" I thought this was funny from Andrew's commentary "Gonzales, in my view, is not the real culprit here. He is now and always has been a tool." I'm not sure Andrew meant it the way I took it...

Man, this just keeps getting worse for this group of miscreants. LINK

I'm reading the newspaper (Orlando Sentinel) today, and I read the headline on page 3 "Gonzales contrite with attorneys over firing". The article goes on to describe his "apology to the nation's 93 US attorneys". What exactly is Gonzales sorry about? His actions at the time or the fact that it...

Could be the big "R" - resignation. I think what we're seeing is the cracking of a deep conspiracy in the Bush Administration. And that may be the coverup of authorized torture by this administration. :wackyshocked:

I think he is wrong the Constitution states clearly that all people in criminal case shall have a hearing of some sort before a grand jury. And the right to a fair and speedy trial. He is a Goat Supreme who is subverting the Consititution, much to the harm of our nation. All they had to do was...

Though also fit for the politics section, I felt this was relevant enough to many of the threads here to also post here: COMMENTARY: Gonzales Questions Habeas Corpus by ROBERT PARRY http://baltimorechronicle.com/2007/011907Parry.shtml

What next, Conservatives? Now your president wants to know what YOU have been Googling on the internet: http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,1691273,00.html My God, what does it take for some of you to even start objecting to any of this stuff?

Gonzales stated that he was against torture in Congressional hearings. What a lying douche bag to go with all the other lying douche bags in the Bush administration or associated with it. If I went and took kids lunch money and killed puppies in Libya, I'd probably get a Medal of Freedom...
