Comments on: House Panel Subpoenas Gonzales Documents

Judiciary Committee Seeks New Documents Related To U.S. Attorney Firings

[toldyouso21]

Ask the fired attorneys if they object to having their "performance" problems brought into full daylight... I bet they will welcome such a move, thus removing any objection from the Justice Dept. that the contents are "private". The more light you shine on this, the more clear the picture becomes.

reread the post. They are not supposedly withholding documents of these firings but have redacted and are withholding documents that involved other personnel. They are lying. They are withholding documents that catalog and indicate a criminal intent. We all know that is the only reason someone would stall and play the game differently--the question is, just what will Congress do if they refuse and then the Bush Supreme court backs them up? Call for impeachment of the Justices, the President, and the DOJ--because it looks like that is what it may take. if my 6th sense for these kind of issues is correct (and it usually is) what Bush is hiding could destroy his party and send him to Prison, he will DO ANYTHING TO STOP the Democrats from digging deeper in that cesspool.

[toldyouso21]

Note to Bush and Gonzales--stop the fvcking games and give up the documents. No man and no government is above the law and that includes you two. Bring your people in to testify, provide the documents unredacted and uncensored and stop trying to hide ***** or try to get people to take either of you at your word!!!

Practically everyone in the world knows Bush is a big fat liar, so a no transcript, no oath in a closet deal should NOT happen. As for Gonzales he is a liar too. Congress is supposed to have clearance to see most documents that do not have anything to do with national security and many have clearance for that also--and while you are at it, BRING IN THOSE BACK DOOR SECRET CRIMINAL LAPTOPS THAT HAVE SECRET ABRAMOFF MEETINGS AND OTHER GOVERNMENT INFORMATION ON THEM. You people do NOT own the government--cooperate or take the first plane out to Dubai or Paraguay and don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya!

USinfidel, this is for you...

So.. the President of the US, your Idol... at BEST has made a TON of mistakes... not just 1 or two, but it seems everything he does is a mistake. We democrats (progressives/liberals or whatever you want to call us) have been saying he's lying and this and that... but the CONS keep saying "no, he just made a mistake" or "misspoke" or "he had unreliable sources, it's not his fault" etc..etc... So ok, let's say we dems all said "You're right! the president didn't lie"... would you be OK with a president making such huge mistakes over and over and over and over and over and over again? This is somehow OK with you? I'm curious to understand why you believe that.

Similar question goes to those i hear on Hannity's radio show on my way home from work (I do listen to the other side sometimes)... i hear all the time how we have to support the president no matter what to protect the office of the president... ok, by your logic, if the president commits a crime against the country... NOTE: i'm not saying he DID do a crime, just hypothetically speaking.. .IF he did... would you still support him? Let's say oh... if he murdered someone...

P.S., i do think he has committed MANY crimes against this great nation but that's just my opinion which is entirely based on factual evidence and documentation, but that's neither here nor there

Bottom line. If these US attorneys were fired in an attempt stiffle investigations, that is OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE. The same crime nixon was going to go down for. Of course we cant dismiss all the other PNAC bush/cheney crimes like: 1. Lying the country onto war with forged documents via Downing Street Memos. 2. Outing a NOC CIA agent and cover Brewster Jennings. 3. Dereliction of Oath of Office by not protecting and defending the Constitution.= TREASON= IMPEACHMENT...or does Jeff gannon have to produce a stained suit first?

That's why it pains me to see you all getting your panties in a big ole WAD over nothing. Let's put it this way, nothing will come of it.

Willing to put some cash on that position, are you?

[us_infidel]

Everything's a scandal with you folks....it's hard to take you seriously anymore. But I know where you're coming from. I was just like you back in the 90's when Cilintax was president.....only there were only BBS's at he time.....not internet or blogs to vent in! :)

Everything Clinton did was a scandal...."we have him now! He's going DOWN!" And it all turned out to be a whole lot of nothing. Partisan politics. That's it. (Well, except for the Monica thing.)

That's why it pains me to see you all getting your panties in a big ole WAD over nothing. Let's put it this way, nothing will come of it.

You don't really expect us to believe you are that dumb, do you?

This administration is refusing to supply the documents!! (The truth)

What is it going to take for you to admit that these people are criminals??

We all know you can't be that stupid!!

For God's sake, you can spell...

You're being a might premature on pronouncing Gonzales innocent, don't you think? Considering that Justice blacked out a good portion of the 3,000 pages sent in, it might be wise to get those blanks filled in first before pronouncing innocence.

[us_infidel]

Boo Hoo Hoo......you libs are like a bunch of 13 year old school girls. "Yeah, me too!!! Yeah, I hope he gets what's coming to him! Yeah! Yeah, cancer on the presidency. Yeah....better than watergate!"

All talk....no proof....no evidence.....just waht you hear Rosie O'Lardass say. Pahhhhhthetic!

"Unfortunately, the department has not indicated any meaningful willingness to find a way to meet our legitimate needs."

Diplomacy required avoiding the use of the term "stonewalling", apparently.

Gonzales is all for the government having access to any and all of our personal data but doesn't show the same fervor when it comes to his data, does he?

[micma-2009]

Where are all the Republicons? They used to love to spin this story. They must still be waiting for their talking points.

[david1737]

In the wake of "wire tapping", "data mining", and the overall lack of respect for privacy issues, the excuse for blacking out info in these released documents is as follows:

"Assistant Attorney General Richard Hertling wrote that the agency blocked information that raised privacy concerns."

"We are seeking to preserve the privacy and professional viability of those who are continuing to serve," Hertling wrote."

Shame, Shame, Shame!!!

flunkly6, I hope that the Rats keep this up. They will be in for a rude awakening in 2008.

OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, connecting the dots:



The day after Carol Lam, U.S. attourney in San Diego, notified the Justice Department that her office would issue search warrants in an investigation involving Republican Rep. Jerry Lewis, (CA) a co-conspirator in the Duke Cunningham bribery scandal, Gonzales aid Kyle Sampson sent an email to the White House mentioning a "real problem" with Carol Lam and that she should be replaced sooner than later. She was soon fired.


In testimony before Congress, Samson said that "the problem" was with her lack of success on imigration cases. However, she was ranked as the third most successful prosecutor of immigration cases in the entire country. Her coviction rate on these cases was 100%. She also received a commendation from the director of U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency for her performance on immigration cases.


Asked if Lam was notified of "the problem" before being abruptly fired, Samson said "uh......no".



Dan Dzwilewski, FBI special agent-in-charge in San Diego, said of Lam's dismissal, "I guarantee politics was involved." Dzwilewski was subsequently oredered to stop talking to the media.

This is going to get SO good. I cant wait to see gonzo under oath, now that he flunked his test questions. Get the popcorn, Mabel...this is going to be better than Watergate!!!

Yes, after 6 years of absolutely no oversight, a white house totaly out of control, a Congress obsessed with gay marrying flag burners, pork barrel spending us into record deficits and giving tax breaks to billionares, this is progress.

[truthword]

Gonzales is covering up for his pedophile buddies at a texas youth home who were systematically molesting boys, Gonzo refuses to prosecute. The Bush family has a long history of molesting boys, do an internet search for the Franklin Affair, you can probably still find the movie "Conspiracy of Silence" on video.google.com... the democrats and the mass pravda style media refuses to say anything about these sickos so tell everyone you know.....

[forthepeopl1]

if the government meaning, the justice dept,cia,fbi,and the pentagon can munipulate all of congress and the americans dont you think they are going to try to do this to congress again.. i wouldn't beleive any thing that some one would tell me in washington. nothing.

i dont beleive anything in the news either. they all lie

[j4401]

Ms. Lam is a real hero in my book. I honor such integrity.

[shortestfuse]

Our "lawmakers" at work. Spending weeks to debate and pass (or not) meaningless resolutions. Encumbering funding bills with garbage that they know will be vetoed. Subpoenaing documents to appear that they are investigating. And some think this is progress?
