BREAKING: Gonzales testimony postponed.
AP reports:
The Senate Judiciary Committee postponed Tuesday’s questioning of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on the firings of eight federal prosecutors, saying the proceedings would be inappropriate in light of the Virginia Tech shootings.
Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy made the decision Monday to postpone the long-awaited hearing that has been considered Gonzales’ last chance to quiet a controversy that has prompted calls in both parties for his resignation.
Leahy said the hearing had been rescheduled for Thursday. He said he made the decision after conferring with Gonzales and the committee’s senior Republican, Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania. ”All three of us agree,” he said.
”I’m sure that he will want to be dealing with the matters of the shooting,” Leahy said of Gonzales.

Shit.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:26 pmNow Gonzo has more time to practice……”I don’t recall….”
April 16th, 2007 at 5:27 pmThat’s what I predicted below.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:28 pmand this gives the AG 2 MORE WHOLE DAYS to get those documents for the committee….
April 16th, 2007 at 5:31 pmthis is a good call guys. This Va Tech thing needs to be addressed. We will get to the testimony soon enough.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:31 pmdon’t be upset Zooey. see my above post!
April 16th, 2007 at 5:31 pmSame shit, different day.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:32 pmone thing I don’t get:â€I’m sure that he will want to be dealing with the matters of the shooting,†Leahy said of Gonzales.
??? what, give the AG some time to figure out a way to pin this tragedy on the Democrats?
April 16th, 2007 at 5:33 pmI wonder how much time Gonzo’s actually going to spend on the VA Tech shootings.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:34 pmI was actually hoping the Dems forced him to attend rather than take care of Virginia Tech issues — the hearing would have been flooded over by news coverage tomorrow — which is why I think Leaky Leahy wanted to postpone his SHOW TRIAL to make sure nothing else was competing for the lede headlines.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:35 pmisn’t this a matter for local law enforcement???I just don’t get what part the AG plays in dealing with this???
April 16th, 2007 at 5:35 pmGonzo has two more days to try to cram, but he’s already exhausted. he’s got two more days to worry and wonder.
It’s all over Alberto.

April 16th, 2007 at 5:36 pmLet’s see, in the continuing media sensationalism cycle
Four weeks back: Anna Nicole Smith dies.
Three weeks back: Bad Pet Food
Last week: Don Imus Shoots off His mouth
This Week: Whackjob shoots fellow students
Next Week: It’ll be something else.
These are the equivilant of freak weather news: while interesting individually, in the grand scheme of things THEY MEAN NOTHING and are indicative of no trend or evolution whatsoever.
Distractions.
God, I’m so sick of this country.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:36 pmWhile we wait for the Attorney General’s date with destiny and his looming tightrope walk between self-preservation and perjury, here’s a quick recap of the Top 10 Reasons Gonzales Must Go:
1. Lying Under Oath
2. Purging Prosecutors
3. Misusing the Patriot Act’s National Security Letters
4. Authorizing Illegal NSA Domestic Surveillance
5. Enabling John Yoo and Unchecked Presidential War Powers
6. Rendering the Geneva Conventions “Quaint”
7. Supporting Military Commissions and the End of Habeas Corpus
8. Blessing Unprecedented Expansion of Presidential Signing Statements
9. Facilitating a CIA Leak Cover-Up
10. Gutting Minority Voting Rights
For the latest news, hearings, legal filings and other essential documents on the Bush DOJ prosecutor firings, see:
April 16th, 2007 at 5:36 pm“The U.S. Attorney Scandal Documents.”
Like him or not, this is the sort of thing that the AG should be attending to now. It won’t change any of the past and that’s what will be raked over on Thursday.
For now, I would like to know the AG is addressing the tragedy in Virginia.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:37 pmâ€I’m sure that he will want to be dealing with the matters of the shooting,†Leahy said of Gonzales.
Murder, even multiple murder, is not a federal crime. Gonzales, nor the federal law enforcement system, have nothing to do with this.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:37 pmSuper. Finally I get why this massacre happened
April 16th, 2007 at 5:38 pmwhat specifically is the AG going to do to address the mass killing in VA?
April 16th, 2007 at 5:39 pmJake,
You said “I have no problem with legitimate oversight”
Maybe you could define that phrase for me. I think looking into statements made by the Attorney General, which could be perjurous in nature, is completely legitimate. Yet you keep calling it a “Show Trial.”
Could you make your position clearer?
April 16th, 2007 at 5:40 pmI was actually hoping the Dems forced him to attend rather than take care of Virginia Tech issues — the hearing would have been flooded over by news coverage tomorrow — which is why I think Leaky Leahy wanted to postpone his SHOW TRIAL to make sure nothing else was competing for the lede headlines. Comment by Jake — April 16, 2007 @ 5:35 pm
You are a sick, sick individual, you disturbed little piece of sh*t.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:41 pmNot only is the postponement appropriate, but even from a crass political/media angle, a smart move. It will be wall-to-wall VA-Tech shooting and “guns” in the media for the next day or two. Better to give it 3 days to play out some before the Thursday AG self-immolation occurs.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:41 pmJake, maybe the delay is for the deaths and not a need for headlines.
chadwick, this isn’t something the AG would address?
April 16th, 2007 at 5:42 pmLOL — call back the FBI and ATF folks then!!!

Oh well…..all better now.
Gonzo better show his stupid face in VA at some point in the next two days. That’s what I’m saying.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:43 pmSo Jake, did you have a good wekend (depsite being an un-American anti-Christian)…?
April 16th, 2007 at 5:43 pmCrump’s Brother:
I thought I did so in the other thread.
lestatdelc:
For even considering the crass political angle, I think you are about to be called “a sick, sick individual, you disturbed little piece of sh*t.” Or, maybe not.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:45 pmWhy would the AG be involved in this? Chadwick’s got me thinking. As terrible as it is it’s not a federal crime so what brings the AG into this.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:46 pmIf anybody thinks that Gonzo will be working on the VA Tech shootings anytime in the next two days, I have a bridge I am trying to sell.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:47 pmdid my Princess of Progress have fun in class?(you know that’s my new nickname for yuo now, don’t you?)
:D
April 16th, 2007 at 5:47 pmThe disgustingly permissive gun laws are part of DoJ’s purview–not saying Gonzo is going to address the problem, but he should.
Automatic weapons are not vital to individuals’ everyday survival–when the F*CK are we going to wake up?
April 16th, 2007 at 5:47 pmOther than that, my weekend was fine, lestatdelc — how about yours?
April 16th, 2007 at 5:47 pmAgreed, and it will be interesting to see what Gonzo does with an event such as the Virginia Tech tragedy.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:47 pmLeahy’s parting remark sounds like he was pointing Alberto in the direction of his job description….
Is Gonzales head of the FBI now? The DOJ doesn’t really get involved until someone gets arrested. At least one of the shooters is dead.
Perhaps the delay is for DOJ to turn over the documents from Conyer’s subpeona, which they failed to do so far.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:49 pmWhat’s this, another staged act of terrorism so the Bush administration accomplishes another goal.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:50 pmIf I understand correctly, the hard drives where those e-mail messages were written may still have remnants - if not all - of the emails that were “deleted.” Also, China was able to force several internet providers to turn over all kinds of confidential on line information to use in repression of its citizens. Why is there no discussion of anyone issuing subpoenas for the hard drives and internet service providers for the RNC to see what might be left instead of believeing the RNC and “Justice” department “deleted” the 5 million emails that in part may address what Gonzales had to say as a witness?
April 16th, 2007 at 5:50 pmGood. The longer this stays in the news, the bigger the corrupt incompetent fool Gonzo is shown to be. (pretend I wrote that in English)

How long does it take someone to rehearse the phrase “I don’t remember”??
April 16th, 2007 at 5:51 pmJake,
you did no such thing.
You have made it clear that you feel the Congress has no authority to put conditions on funding (which was your attempt to change the subject), but you have yet to explain why questioning Gonzalez is not legitimate oversight. Or why it constitutes a “Show Trial”
April 16th, 2007 at 5:51 pmLOL - is the Attorney General head of the FBI?? You mean the “FBI” within the Department of JUSTICE???

April 16th, 2007 at 5:53 pmDoes anyone give a rat’s ass what a troll’s weekend was like? Now this amoeba is posting to himself?
April 16th, 2007 at 5:53 pmSo, should Gonzales go to Virginia Tech? Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. LOL
Here’s another one (the Wikipedia link does come across, sorry):
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is a United States federal agency; more specifically a specialized law enforcement and regulatory organization within the United States Department of JUSTICE. Its official abbreviation is “ATF”, however it is frequently also referred to as “BATF” or “BATFE”. Its responsibilities include the investigation and prevention of federal offenses involving the unlawful use, manufacture, and possession of firearms and explosives, acts of arson and bombings, and illegal trafficking of alcohol and tobacco products. The ATF also regulates via licensing, the sales, possession, and transportation of firearms, ammunition, and explosives in interstate commerce. Many of ATF’s activities are carried out in conjunction with task forces made up of state and local law enforcement officers, such as Project Safe Neighborhoods. ATF operates a one-of-a-kind fire research laboratory in Ammendale, Maryland, where full-scale mock-ups of criminal arsons can be reconstructed.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:54 pmGotta run!(me leaving has nothing to do with Yenta’s comment, btw). It’s time to get off work, and I got a man coming to talk about windows…
April 16th, 2007 at 5:55 pmPEACE!
Of course, this is tragic and good reason to postpone things out of consideration for the families of the victims. Other than that, it gives the public much more time to begin connecting the dots of Gonzo’s lies….and what now has surfaced as evidence of such from his own ranks. Sampson’s already thrown him under the bus and in his testimony and now one of the attendees at this Nov. 27 meeting Gonzo attended testified that Gonzo not only approved the paperwork with the names but was in full discussion and awareness of it….bye, bye Gonzo!
April 16th, 2007 at 5:56 pmback on later though…
April 16th, 2007 at 5:56 pmCrump’s Brother:
If Congress is conducting these hearings to give aid and comfort to the enemy during wartime, that’s indeed treason. Consider it a hypothetical scenario for now, if that helps you wrap your mind around it.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:56 pm#35 There have been subpoenas of those hard drives owned by the RNC et al. And, as everyone knows, with servers connected to servers, those emails are still out there in cyberspace and can definitely be retrieved. Karl Rove and his band of nazis had better be afraid, very afraid. These emails WILL come back and bite them on their fat asses.
April 16th, 2007 at 5:57 pmBye, whitey….catch you later.

Later, whitey.
April 16th, 2007 at 6:00 pmJake,
You are ducking like crazy here.
Do you think that these hearings constitute “aid and comfort to the enemy during wartime” or not.
You know what these hearing are about. You are ready to call Spector a traitor over them. So take your stand. Do these hearings, which have nothing to do with war, consitutue a traitorous act to you?
April 16th, 2007 at 6:02 pmDoes anyone know what Jake is talking about? Is that 30%-er speak?
April 16th, 2007 at 6:03 pmIf Congress is conducting these hearings to give aid and comfort to the enemy during wartime, that’s indeed treason. Consider it a hypothetical scenario for now, if that helps you wrap your mind around it.
Comment by Jake — April 16, 2007 @ 5:56 pm
“Consider it a hypothetical scenario for NOW”? What is your evidence that Congress is conducting these hearings “to give aid and comfort to the enemy during wartime”?
I’ll agree that if that were the case, it would be treason. But what leads you to that conclusion? There must be something that someone said that was overtly sympathetic to terrorists, right? Since they’re the enemy?
April 16th, 2007 at 6:06 pmYes — I am willing to wait until Thursday to see if they follow through with their threatened treason to formally indict said Senators though.
April 16th, 2007 at 6:07 pmI second post # 20.
April 16th, 2007 at 6:07 pmIt is high time people on this post got their minds around the fact that Jake is a total loser, and here only to cause trouble…
This poster is not for real in my opinion…..a paid troll plant…or just a nut.
Candyce:
You would have to read the previous Gonzales thread they keep asking me about over here too.
April 16th, 2007 at 6:08 pmWhy would you leap to that unfounbded conclusion Jake? I prefaced my statement pointing out the political/media angle by saying that it was wholly appropriate to postpone for legitimate reasons given the circumstances, beyond the secondary the political/media ones. I am able to look at more than levels or aspects to something.
My weekend was great Jake. Took my kid to see a 3D movie, and spent some quality time hanging out together.
So, still carrying water for warmongers who favor the rich over the poor while shredding the Constitution?

April 16th, 2007 at 6:09 pmWe’ll have an easier time getting Rove to admit he pulls the heads off of small animals than getting Congress to turn on itself and admit their motives are aimed at aiding and comforting the enemy. That’s what it would boil down to Jake.
You didn’t think that one thru did you son..
April 16th, 2007 at 6:09 pmJake,
Name one congressperson or senator, who you think is actively trying to give aid or comfort to our enemies. It seems to be what you keep coming back to.
I find it disturbing that you feel “legitmate oversight” would constitute giving aid to our enemies.
I also find it pathetic that you feel that the Congress passing a budget with a ending date to the war is giving aid to our enemies. God forbid we disagree, but just because we disagree, does meant we are giving aid to our enemies. And for you to say so, makes you sound eerily familiar with the religious nut jobs we are apparently at war with. You are either with them, or against them right Jake?
April 16th, 2007 at 6:09 pmWe need to just ignore Rape Joker Jake.
He has monopolized every thread I’ve looked at today.
April 16th, 2007 at 6:10 pmThe bottom line (from that other thread): “. . . since the Dems can’t defund the war and commit treason that way, they are trying to impeach Bush instead. As I said above, if any of that is done to aid and comfort the enemy, that’s treason.”
April 16th, 2007 at 6:10 pmCandyce,
Jake believes that questioning the attorney general in front of a sentatorial comittee is a treasonous act punishable by death. Apparently.

Bush isn’t King, and Congress has control of the purse string Constitutionally. What’s treasonous is Bush lying to congress to go to war, and you working to subvert the Constitution on the part of a delusional man that would be King.
As I said above, if any of that is done to aid and comfort the enemy, that’s treason.†Comment by Jake — April 16, 2007 @ 6:10 pm
Comfort the enemy? You mean Saudi Arabia, the country where the terrorists, and Bush’s favorite mouth kisses come from?
You’re a terrorist, a traitor, and a fool Jake*ss.
April 16th, 2007 at 6:13 pmI wasn’t aware impeachment had begun. When did this happen?

Comment by Jake — April 16, 2007 @ 6:10 pm
Jake, I’m trying to get a straight answer from you on two threads about this.
Your claim of treason rests on the condition that this investigation is done “to aid and comfort the enemy”. Without that condition of aid and comfort, you don’t have treason. Agreed?
Now, WHAT leads you to the judgment that Congress is pursuing this investigation IN ORDER TO PROVIDE AID AND COMFORT TO THE ENEMY?
When answering, keep in mind that the last part of that question is the key issue to be addressed.

The Vietnam war was defunded as well Einstein. Losing 8 billion dollars in Iraq is Treason because that money went to the terrorists. Who was in charge Jake? The Commander in Chief?
Your really strecthing your sudo-reality Jake. In fact what you are saying is truly senile.
April 16th, 2007 at 6:17 pmAs I recall Jake, this was Operatio Iraqi Freedom. Are you saying that to aid and appease the enemy is treason?
The isn’t freeing the terrorists treason? How much has the Bush admin spent to rebuild the terrorist infrastructure Jake?
April 16th, 2007 at 6:18 pmBecause, lestatdelc, I was called “a sick, sick individual, you disturbed little piece of sh*t” by ValiantVenusGrewFromUranus — April 16, 2007 @ 5:41 pm — for posting the same exact crass political angle.

April 16th, 2007 at 6:22 pmNo, Candyce and Crump’s Brother, I don’t believe that any ol’ questioning of the AG in front of a Senate Committee is a treasonous act punishable by death. Questioning of the AG in front of a Senate Committee INTENDED TO PROVIDE AID AND COMFORT TO THE ENEMY DURING WARTIME is a treasonous act, IMO, and punishable by death. Let me know if you still can’t see the difference.

I am heartened by your kind words, Shane.

April 16th, 2007 at 6:28 pmJake this Democratic experiment brought to you by think-tanks was never a war on terrorism. The Foundations were setup were to FREE the Iraqis, what YOU now call terrorists, and bring them Democracy.
If I follow your wobbly and incoherent logic then this administration supported terrorism and appeased the enemy by freeing them from an oppressive leader.
What happened to Democracy in Iraq Jake? Huh?
April 16th, 2007 at 6:30 pmThis is not a coincidence.
Expect the boming of Iran to commence prior to Thursday’s testimony - another convenient excuse to postpone all hearings - and declare martial law.
Mark my words.
Where is Tommy Franks?
Where is Norman Shwarzkopf?
Where is Henry Kissinger?
What are they up to?

one story she read stated that the gunman killed himself - with a shot to the head that obliviated the chance for identification, and he had no ID on him…
this is such a horror story… i can’t begin to comprehend the sorrow that so many more people are going through…
i can’t imagine such hate (and/or sickness) that caused it…

April 16th, 2007 at 6:35 pmExpect the boming of Iran to commence prior to Thursday’s testimony - another convenient excuse to postpone all hearings - and declare martial law.
I truly doubt that martial law would be enacted. It would destroy the economy and the investors and bankers would lose billions and billions.
Besides AG AG is not very important in the larger picture and would just be replaced by another lemming.
April 16th, 2007 at 6:35 pmOne last time Jake.
Was or was not this police action in Iraq called Operation Iraqi Freedom??
April 16th, 2007 at 6:36 pmYou are just being ridiculous Jake. You and I both know that no such type of questioning of the AG has, or ever will occur. However the AG will be questioned, under oath before the Senate on Thursday, and that is a good thing. I know that is hard for you to accept Jake, but Congressional oversight is a good thing, not a bad thing. Just because it damages Bush and the current AG (and the political party of same) doesn’t mean it gives aid or comfort to the enemies. The fact that al Qaeda sees the invasion of Iraq and the stupidity of what Bush has done as the best thing for such extremist groups should be a pretty clear indication that it is the opposite of what you ridiculously insinuate (without anything resembling reality I might add).
Let me put it a way that most GOPers and fake “independents” like yourself can grasp:
That clear enough?
Worst thing in the world for terrorists would be for the Democrats to take the White House and to increase their control and margin in Congress.
April 16th, 2007 at 6:37 pmJake,
Why did you bring up aid to our enemies, if you didn’t think it was happening with the hearing.
Of course anyone giving aid and comfort to the enemy would be liable under traitor laws. But has that EVER happened as a result of of a Senate hearing?
Nice deflection from the fact that you put ideology ove country. That’s what this whole thing is about. Spector says he wants answers, you call him a traitor, and we asked you why. You quickly decided to backtrack, because you know you had been caught showing your ideological fangs, and were embarassed.
There is no giving aid to the enemy by asking the Attorney General to straighten this situation out. But you are ready to have Arlen Spector convicted of a crime that carries the penalty of death because you don’t like the line of questioning. And you know that is un-American. You likened a duly elected senator to a traitor. You accused him of giving aid to our enemies, simply because he wants to know why Gonzalez’s statements don’t add up.
April 16th, 2007 at 6:37 pmI just hate when that happens, Zooey………;)

April 16th, 2007 at 6:42 pmWordpress is still a beta (broken) program and will likely have these problems for some time.

What the hell….as long as he’s not a juvenile male turkey. :D
April 16th, 2007 at 6:44 pmI accept Zooey the way she is.
April 16th, 2007 at 6:44 pmJake is really stretching today.
Questioning a guy that lied under oath is traitorous.
By Jakes logic Ken Starr is a traitor.

April 16th, 2007 at 7:38 pmHow did Karl Rove manage to pull this off?
April 16th, 2007 at 7:52 pmHellinabucket, the only way this could be federalized is if it were branded as a hate crime. Short of that, or another such permutation (crossing state lines, etc) this would never ever be prosecuted at the federal level. This is a case for the WV Attorney General and/or local law enforcement.
April 16th, 2007 at 8:37 pmImus:I’m so happyI could sh*t. You happy?
AG: Heck yeah! I’m happy too…
April 16th, 2007 at 9:39 pmPlease do not trivialize the tragedy in Virginia. The beating of the drums is making me sick.

Do you realize how much MORE death and destruction…
…happens in Iraq and Afghanistan…
…to innocent old women, and babies…
…EVERYDAY…
…in America’s name…
…by American hands…
…with american taxpayer dollars?
…I could give LESS THAN a DAMN what makes you sick!
April 16th, 2007 at 11:01 pmI hope the extra couple of days waiting to testify are sheer torture for him.

big papa,
April 17th, 2007 at 3:56 amUp to the time I read this post, I respected you. Things have changed now. I now know why you use the inane practice of bolding your post. Beside you Jake is a humanitarian intellectual.
Comment by WaltTheMan #138
…NOTHING…
… about what I post is about ME!
…if I lie hold me accountable…
…I don’t post here for RESPECT…
…I post here to say LOOK here’s the TRUTH the way I see it…
…I’m not happy about what happened at VT…
…but I understand that suffering is NOT a wholly owned subsidiary…
…of America(ns)…
