New Chimes coming in..FIRE GONZALES AND ROVE!
CORRUPTION!
Here we go again.
The Bush people have made serialized scandal into an art form. We are faced with yet another with White House footprints leading to it.
The latest outrage involves orchestrating a political purge of U.S. attorneys, including eight who failed to fulfill Administration objectives. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is being fingered by many who say he should step down. One sacrificial lamb—former Gonzales Chief of Staff, Kyle Sampson—has already been served up.
But as evidence emerges that “Bush’s Brain” Karl Rove, the man who is so smart to be evil, was the real architect of these firings, and with the looming prospects of congressional subpoenas, will Gonzales also be asked to walk the plank?

BREAKING: WH Offers Rove & Miers Testimony

My guess is Leahy will laugh in Fielding's face then draw up those subpoenas.

The legal problem -- lying to Congress: There are at least two instances where Bush administration officials may have violated federal law in the course of this scandal. One involves testimony to Congress by Gonzales and Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty that the Justice Department would never fire U.S. attorneys for political reasons. Subsequent Justice Department e-mails have shown that to be untrue. It is illegal to lie to Congress, and the relevant provision "is very broad." Gonzales has blamed their inaccurate testimony on his former chief of staff Kyle Sampson, who resigned last week after Gonzales said Sampson had provided "incomplete information" to senior Justice Department officials. But as CREW explains, "Federal law provides that if Sampson knew that he was causing DOJ officials to make inaccurate statements to Congress, he can be prosecuted for the federal crime of lying to Congress even though he did not personally make any statements to Congress." Now Sampson's lawyer now says other top Justice Department officials knew of the White House's role. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) said last week that "Kyle Sampson will not become the next Scooter Libby, the next fall guy."
The legal problem -- obstructing an investigation: Secondly, "if the attorneys were fired to interfere with a valid prosecution, or to punish them for not misusing their offices, that may well have been illegal." "Fired San Diego U.S. attorney Carol Lam notified the Justice Department that she intended to execute search warrants on a high-ranking CIA official as part of a corruption probe the day before a Justice Department official sent an e-mail that said Lam needed to be fired," Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said on Sunday. Feinstein "said the timing of the e-mail suggested that Lam's dismissal may have been connected to the corruption probe." Congress has also called for an investigation of the removal of Frederick Black, the U.S. attorney in Guam, who was fired after he began investigating criminal lobbyist Jack Abramoff. "Anyone involved in firing a United States attorney to obstruct or influence an official proceeding could have broken the law. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) said last week that if an attorney is fired "to stop an ongoing investigation, then you do get into the criminal area."

BREAKING:
TANCREDO(R-CO) JOINS THE CHORUS FOR GONE-ZALES to Skeedadle..!
Tancredo: Time for Gonzales to 'Move On'
Presidential hopeful Tom Tancredo has joined the growing chorus of lawmakers calling for U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to resign - only not for the usual reason.
Unlike others criticizing Gonzales over the recent firing of eight U.S. attorneys, the Colorado Republican said the embattled attorney general should go because of "a series of leadership failures" - chiefly his handling of illegal immigration prosecutions.
CLICK STORY
"Gonzales' legacy at the (Justice Department) has been one of misplaced priorities, political miscalculation, and a failure to enforce the laws which he has sworn to uphold,"

GEF:
Yep, so true because Gone-Zo has been Bush's water boy!
Bye Gone-Zo!
Daddy Bush on Gonzo boy @ 5;45 ET

You look like a Jag. Are you Timmy Griffin?
The spin is on.
1. Bush let Bonzo spin in the wind a bit, while the critics roast him.
2. Bush publicly expresses strong support for his "friend." His press secy's make sure everyone knows about it.
3. Meanwhile, the squeeze is on to force Gonzo to resign "for the good of your supportive friend."
4. Bush "regretfully" accepts and showers him with accolades.
It's the Washington Two-Step, now you're in, now you're out.
Your job, should you decide to accept, is to protect the president and Karl Rove, no matter what. We supply the sword, you supply the downward mobility.
