Impeach Alberto Gonzales
August 20, 2007
"I don't recall." "I don't remember." "I don't know."
Is it really possible that Alberto Gonzales is that checked out from the day-to-day operations in the Justice Department? He may have been the President's personal attorney back in Texas, but he's the Attorney General now - and he's failing the American people. He's become an embarassment.
And worse, he's become the single strongest example of political corruption and abuse of power in the Bush Administration.
Under Gonzalez' embarassing stewardship, they've fired U.S. Attorneys for political reasons. He's authorized illegal wiretaps of American citizens. He even tried to strong-arm then-Attorney General John Ashcroft into authorizing the illegal wiretapping program while he lay gravely ill in a hospital bed. And now he won't tell Congress the whole truth about what's happening on his watch.
