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.

Yep, Scooter found guilty, Cheney & Rove missing indictment by a hair on their ass, Gonzales facing criminal charges.


it's a great time for the party of personal irresponsibility.

[NotaBeliever]

Why milk the faithful for contributions when Our President will pardon Alberto anyways? Just skip all the legal maneuvering, issue the pardon, and save everyone a whole lotta time. The ginormous list of pardons to be issued on GWBush's last day in office will be shorter by one.

Actually, I like that Racist-publicans call him B. Hussein Obama.


It tells me they know that a black guy with a name like that is kickin their asses in popularity and fundraising.


That's gotta hurt.

RENO 911
August 29, 2007


This week, congressional Democrats vowed to investigate Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' firing of himself. Gonzales has said he was not involved in the discussions about his firing and that it was "performance-based," but he couldn't recall the specifics.

Right-wingers like me never trusted Gonzales. But watching Hillary Rodham Clinton literally applaud the announcement of Gonzales' resignation on Monday was more than any human being should have to bear. Liberals' hysteria about Gonzales was surpassed only by their hysteria about his predecessor, John Ashcroft. (Also their hysteria about Bush, Rove, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Libby, Rice, Barney and so on. They're very excitable, these Democrats.)

Liberals want to return the office to the glory years of Attorney General Janet Reno!

There is reason to believe Reno is precisely the sort of attorney general that Hillary would nominate, since Reno was widely assumed to be Hillary's pick at the time. As ABC News' Chris Bury reported the day Reno was confirmed: "The search for an attorney general exemplifies Hillary Clinton's circle of influence and its clout. ... The attorney general-designate, Janet Reno, came to the president's attention through Hillary Clinton's brother, Hugh Rodham."

Let's compare attorneys general:

-- Civilians killed by Ashcroft: 0
-- Civilians killed by Gonzales: 0
-- Civilians killed by Reno: 80

If all the 30 percenters send in money, he's got it made.

[mattlesnake]

He should just plead guilty to all the charges and have Dubya pardon or expunge them. There is no since going through a lengthy and expensive taxpayer funded discovery and trial when this will be the likely outcome if this right wing nut job is found guilty.

"We did not vote for Bush."

That, my stunned fellow Americans, is what was on a sign held up for all the world to see by some very unpatriotic Women Bridge Players.

Shaking your head in disgust like me? Words like treason, sedition and traitor come to mind? Is your red, white and blue blood boiling like mine is?

Then here's what you can do. I'm starting up a fund to raise money for all those who clearly would rather adorn a flap pin, have Support our Troops bumper stickers, American flags on their car, home, boat, and trailor, some purple paint for a purple finger, but can't afford all the true patriotic stuff that shows what patriotic people they are.

Send your donations to help buy this patriotic stuff for all patriotic people who support President Bush and his global war on terror to

I'm very disappointed in the righties posting here. I've only seen one "but... but... Clinton" post so far. C'mon guys, lets have at it!

[Turnip]

The P.O. Box the Gonzales donations are going to is the same one they used for the Osama Bin Laden Defense Fund.

[Firaxis]

Don't Bubba and the Cackling Witch have funds left over in their legal defense fund?

They should send Alberto some in a show of true bipartisanship.

[robertlockwoodmills]

I'm a poor man. I can't afford much. But I do want to help. Would they accept counterfeit Mexican pesos?

[Turnip]

LOL!

Only a Republican would think giving Musharraf $11 billion to harbor Bin Laden makes him a crucial ally.

[Turnip]

Only a Republican would be proud their Attorney General needs a defense fund.

Not to worry, Alfredo, - my check is in the mail.
