White House must come clean in prosecutors' purge: Senator

14 minutes ago




WASHINGTON (AFP) - A US Senate leader insisted Sunday that the White House needed to allay concerns over the firings of federal prosecutors, saying beleaguered Attorney General Alberto Gonzales appeared to remember little about the scandal.


"Someone had to come up with this scheme," Senator Chuck Schumer told Fox news about last year's sackings of eight prosecutors which were allegedly politically motivated.

1. They are backing the WH into a corner...

Either the WH says "Oh, yes he did" and produces the docs that will fry gonzo or they will find themselves in an active defense, subpeonas and all.

2. You know what Tom....I think the answer and the final nail in the

coffin...lies in the 5 million emails that are either missing or not missing..depending on the day.

When they are produced I think we will see Cheney, definitely Rove and maybe indirectly "the decider" who probably was briefed on the situation.


I still owe a ring to you:-)

3. yeah, the suspense is killing me

I SOOO want a John Dean Moment

4. That's the Deal.

They are going to let the DoJ slide and allow Mr Goonzales to rot in his own fluids while redirecting the Klieg Lights on the White House.

They will all end up smelling of putrefaction.

Here's yer legacy, georgie.

5. I think ALL the answers are in the missing emails

Along with a ton of new questions and new dots to connect.

6. Keep the pressure ON, Senator! Do NOT BACK DOWN ONE INCH.

Gonzo shouldn't be AG; Chimpy shouldn't be pResident; Cheney, DICK, shouldn't be VP; CondoSleaze-a shouldn't be SofS; KKKarl Rover the Attack Dog shouldn't be considered human....and on and on. And NONE of them should be walking around free like decent Americans; they should all be behind bars.
