Iglesias: Rove Won’t Testify ‘To Keep Himself From Being Indicted’ (Think Progress)

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 18:30:20 GMT

Last week, Karl Rove ignored a subpoena and refused to testify before Congress, choosing instead to take a trip abroad. This morning, David Iglesias, one of the U.S. Attorneys politically purged under Alberto Gonzales, told MSNBC’s Mike Barnicle he believed Rove “had information that…would show illegal activity” and thus will refuse to testify “to keep [...]

Mukasey the Obstructionist (Vox Verax)

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 02:21:00 GMT

By Dan Froomkin Special to washingtonpost.com Thursday, July 17, 2008 Michael Mukasey has President Bush's back. Mukasey succeeded toady Alberto Gonzales as attorney general last fall. But the notion that he would restore independence to that post took a big hit yesterday when he refused to turn over to a House committee key documents related to the CIA leak investigation. Mukasey may...

Mukasey, that sleazy weasel (Later On)

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 22:18:52 GMT

He’s just as bad as old Alberto Gonzales, and that is stinking bad. (Don’t forget it was Charles Schumer who palmed Mukasey off on us, with Dianne Feinstein concurring.) Marcy Wheeler clearly explains the latest absudity to be vomited by Mukasey. Her post: Working on confirmation now, but I’m hearing word that George Bush just took [...]

"Moral Panic" (The War on Guns)

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 17:05:00 GMT

The paper goes on to rip apart the media in blowing up these technopanics, often using outright incorrect or made up data, such as the idea that "50,000 sexual predators are online at any given time," a favorite of former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales . The problem is that this number was made up out of nowhere. And from this, legislation is enacted. If you've agreed with any of my...

Feinstein's Epic FAIL (Air America Radio -)

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 16:49:01 GMT

As bad a week as it's been for John McCain, it's been a TERRIBLE week for Dianne Feinstein. She watched in the Senate Judiciary Committee as Attorney General Michael Mukasey, who she voted to confirm, put on as bad a performance as Alberto Gonzales ever did, covering for the Administration's criminal actions, from torture to politicization of the Justice Department. Then, of course,...

Alberto Gonzales’ Impudent Advice (The Moderate Voice)

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 03:07:58 GMT

After his disgraceful tenure as U.S. Attorney General and his humiliating resignation, I did not expect to hear from Alberto Gonzales for at least the number of years John McCain says we will be in Iraq. But, lo-and-behold, on July 2, Alberto Gonzales published an opinion piece in the Los Angeles Times. That alone is surprising. But what is even more remarkable is the subject...
