Reply #86: Hey stb, am I coming to the same conclusion you are?

Two weeks ago, Gonzales was not turning the e-mails over to Fitz. Now Fitz has the e-mails. Did Fitz somehow do an endrun around the Attorney General or did he present him with the possibility of facing a criminal contempt charge or obstruction of justice charge?

Remember this from the OP link:

For one thing, it raises numerous questions: why weren't the emails located in late 2003, when Gonzales enjoined roughly 2,000 White House staffers to turn over any communication about Plame Wilson and her husband, as so ordered by a Justice Department subpoena? Do the emails provide greater insight into the campaign to discredit Wilson and identify the officials who unmasked his wife's undercover CIA status to reporters?

A spokesperson for Gonzales did not return numerous calls for comment.


What does Gonzales have to hide? What kind of hot water could he be in?
