Alberto Gonzales Defense Fund Begins

Supporters of former attorney general Alberto R. Gonzales have created a trust fund to help pay for his legal expenses, which are mounting in the face of an ongoing Justice Department investigation into whether Gonzales committed perjury or improperly tampered with a congressional witness.

The establishment of a legal defense fund for the nation's former chief law enforcement officer underscores the potential peril confronting Gonzales, who is one of a handful of attorneys general to face potential criminal charges for actions taken in office.

Because he may be doing great harm to our nation I propose that everyone who contributes to his defense be warrantlessly wiretapped and if proper information is not forth coming we could send them to Syria for a few "lessons". Can you say walk a mile in our shoes gonzo?

Once the Democrats gain a filibuster-free environment in 2008, it’s people like Mr. Gonzales who are going to end up serving time in federal penitentiaries. When legitimate oversight was blocked by the Bush administration and their lock-step congressional enablers, laws and policies were violated by political henchmen who believed they were immune from investigation and prosecution. They thought they were operating with impunity. None of them anticipated that the 2006 elections would restore legitimate oversight. Most of the congressional investigations going on now will continue beyond 2008, at which time Bush will no longer be able to grant immunity for charges that won’t be filed formally until AFTER he has left the White House. The purpose of legitimate oversight is to DETER the abuse of power and to make EXAMPLES of those who abuse it. Gonzales and his ilk never thought that the Democrats would gain a filibuster-free congress or a president in the White House. As a result, they will pay dearly for their corruptions and dishonesties, while Bush and Cheney will live the remainder of their miserable criminal lives knowing that THEY are PERSONALLY responsible for sending these criminally loyal men and women to prison.

"Its not fair not fair" wail the trolls.

"I deserve a fair trial" wails Gonzo.

"He gets what he deserves" says unnamed Gitmo detainee on being released after four years with no trial.

Neoliberalism refers to a political movement that espouses economic liberalism as a means of promoting economic development and securing political liberty. The movement is sometimes described as an effort to revert to the economic policies of the 18th and 19th centuries classical liberalism.[1] Strictly in the context of English-language usage the term is an abbreviation of "neoclassical liberalism", since in other languages "liberalism", minus any modifier such as "social" (as in social liberalism), has more or less retained its classical meaning.

Boy, isn't this a picture to wake up to first thing in the morning! Kind of sets the tone of the day. Think I'll put down the coffee and go get a beer!

Notice the drooling wingnut trolls, it is obvious one of their dreadful criminal hero's is in big trouble so they try to change the subject.

Get over it you ignorant fools, the GOP and your other wingnut hero's are toast, this country is waking up and seeing the mess Dumbya and his criminal regime have made.

THE GOP IS TOAST AND SO IS GONZO FOR LYING TO CONGRESS!

The inspector general is looking at whether Gonzales misled Congress in sworn testimony and improperly sought to influence testimony of an aide, Monica M. Goodling, about last year's firings of nine U.S. attorneys.

The inspector general's office cannot bring criminal charges, but it can hand over evidence to prosecutors with a recommendation for further investigation and possible charges, officials have said.


To make a case against Gonzo for witness tampering, Monica Goodling will (a) have to be truthful - her credibility is shot (b) she will have to turn on BushCo.

Once the inspector general's report is complete, Bush's DOJ could just sit on it and do nothing. Whether or not a new admin will want to deal with this mess is an interesting issue.

Oh the mad dash rush by the trolls.

Proves he must be in deep trouble.

Hint if you shut up it might all just go away, the louder the whines the more likely there is a case.
