Lawmakers have called for the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales after he fired eight federal prosecutors. Gonzales is in a fight for his career and is believed to have wrongfully fired these prosecutors. In his twenty-five page statement he claims that his memory of the firings is a little "hazy." Gonzales claims that the firings were just and his role in them were indirect. Then he says that if he could go back, he would have handled the situation differently and been more involved in the review process. President Bush and Dick Cheney have "reaffirmer" the white house's support of Gonzales. However, Gonzales repeatedly states in his written testimony that he doesnt remember the firing. What do you all think about this?

I don't know much about this situation, but it is pretty clear that there is a lot of money-related corruption involved. I'm not too surprised seeing that his support is being "reaffirmed" by Bush and Cheney.
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a load of crap. If you fire 8 federal prosecutors, you might remember it. Hell, if you fired 8 people of any position, you might remember it. This is obviously covering up some mistakes by the government, and now people have found those mistakes and people will pay for it. If he was alittle "hazy" on the firings, what did he do, smoke some stuff and then fire all these people? I mean come on.
