Gonzales Fails To Follow Through On Pledge To ‘Straighten Out’ Lies He Told Sen. Pryor
Gonzales Fails To Follow Through On Pledge To ‘Straighten Out’ Lies He Told Sen. Pryor
As noted by ThinkProgress yesterday, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales lied to Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR) when he pledged to him in late 2006 that he wanted “to go through a Senate confirmation” to get Tim Griffin installed as U.S. attorney. In truth, after hearing of Pryor’s opposition to Griffin, Gonzales and his chief of staff mobilized a plan to “gum the process to death,” run out the clock, and keep Griffin in office.
Angry over being lied to, Pryor said last month, “They didn’t proceed in good faith with me. And that’s one of the reasons why I think Attorney General Gonzales should resign immediately. I don’t think he has the credibility to run that department anymore.”
At the hearing on Thursday, Sen. Lindsey Graham offered some “personal advice” to Gonzales on the issue, which Gonzales pledged to take up:
GRAHAM: I would just advise you to sit down with [Pryor] and walk through what happened, because I think he’s a reasonable fellow, and you all straighten that out if you can.
GONZALES: Senator, I couldn’t agree more. I have a great deal of admiration for Senator Pryor, and I think that’s a good idea.
Apparently, Gonzales was paying mere lip service to Graham.
On Friday, Gonzales spent his day calling several conservative Senators, including John Cornyn and Arlen Specter. “The attorney general did call me today and he said he was just checking with senators to see how the hearing went,” Specter said Friday. But Gonzales couldn’t find time for Pryor:
[A]s of Friday afternoon, Gonzales had not reached out to Pryor, the senator’s communications director, Michael Teague, told U.S. News. Teague said Pryor’s “door is always open” and that the senator “doesn’t have any reservations” about meeting with Gonzales but is not sure “what good it would do at this point.”
“They not only wrote the E-mail, they implemented that E-mail,” says Teague. “And Griffin still holds that position.” Teague said Pryor still feels lied to and still wants Gonzales to resign.
Maybe Gonzales simply “cannot recall” what he said on Thursday.

It sounds reasonable to me, gonzo remembers making the decisions, but when or where or who else was present or why or what the criteria were for the firings. he is sure the decisions were right, but never wrote or read a performance eval for any of them. personally, I think he makes these decisions when he’s taking lavender bubble baths and he doesn’t want to tell anyone his little secret.

As the apologists for this administration keep saying, USAs serve at the pleasure of he president. This is a fact; so this administration should re-instate the fired USAs tomorrow and submit to congress for review all the other USAs who were appointed without the oversight of the congress
April 21st, 2007 at 8:59 amFrank,
You are living proof that living in the crap house long enough, and you no longer smell the stink.
If nothing illegal was done, why all the secrecy, denial, delays, practice testimony. One does not need to practice the truth. Hmm practice saying “I don’t recall”, sounds fishy to me. The govt can look at your phone calls, emails, snail mail, purchases, and tell you if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about. So how come the same rules don’t apply to govt officials?
April 21st, 2007 at 8:59 amWow Frank, i bet you’re one tough hombre, eh? Let’s just say that nothing illegal was done. Did you ever hear of a thing called ethics? Look it up. Dumbass.
April 21st, 2007 at 9:06 amFrank is making the rounds with his nonsense. He’s obviously brainwashed by these crooks and will never realize that he’s an active participant in the horrors that are affecting our nation. Maybe we should just ignore him or perhaps help him?
Advice for Frank: Take a break from Fox news and start thinking for yourself.
April 21st, 2007 at 9:07 amHappy420,
As Attorney General Gonzales said during his hearing, he practises for all testimonies. As far as the secrecy and alleged denial and delays go, I think the executive branch is entitled by law to some secrecy on matters how they operate. How else would they remain an independent branch of the government? The congress may have the right to oversight, but that only means that they have a right to try to find out things.

running all over the place making a big spectacle of catching small fry – everyone is running out the clock – seems the dems have the evidence but not the guts to bring the culprits to justice – we all know who they are…….
April 21st, 2007 at 9:08 amGonzales has more than his job to worry about–wih all his lies and incompetence he is going to need a lawyer and a good one, too. Too bad there aren’t any good lawyers in his DOJ–only Pat Robertson-educated Bible interpreters.
April 21st, 2007 at 9:09 amAnd Tim Griffin is the one U.S. Attorney who needs to be removed immediately. Letting him serve as a USA is no different than letting Karl Rove take that office. He’s the most highly politicized USA this country has ever seen and there’s no way he will refrain from using his position to attack the Democratic Party and defend the GOP. He has to go right now.

Gee Frank, I just guessed that you were a Fox news addict. Well, I would suggest that you try to get the news from multiple resources and use your powers of reason to determine what is truth and what is rhetoric. I think the BBC is very good at actually reporting the news with minimal slant. I’m not crazy about CNN, either. PBS/NPR is also a good source for news. Would it hurt to try?
April 21st, 2007 at 9:18 amFrank they remain independent by not breaking the law. And once suspected of such action they comply with laws, this includes providing emails, and any other such documents which may contain evidence. Just like if you were suspected of a crime. Failure to do so is obstruction of justice, and as a previous poster said “ethics”. Look it up!
April 21st, 2007 at 9:19 am“Maybe Gonzales simply “cannot recall†what he said on Thursday”.

April 21st, 2007 at 9:21 amMadmax, you’re wasting your breath. Frank and the rest of the 30%’ers WANT to live in their own little reality. You can bet your next years wages Frank was defending Libby, Ney, and all the other corrupt GOP’ers because they “say” they’re the pro-life party, and other such slogans that keep the sheep in step. Fox news tells these idiots what they want to hear, for example the recent story about Cho being possessed by the Devil.

Yesterday one of my students was whining about how hard my class is. Considering he has an 82, I didn’t get the whining. So I told him that it’s harder to think for yourself than for someone else just to tell you what to think. I’d like to thank the mindless trolls for being able to give my student that explanation – for without them, I wouldn’t have understood why so many people are always looking for someone else to just tell them what to do rather than figure it out themselves…
:D
April 21st, 2007 at 9:27 amFrank Matthews – same troll, different name.
“they serve at the pleasure of the President” yet, by all appearances, the President didn’t fire them.
The executive branch is entitled to secrecy in all its doings. Great. So it’s ok for the President to violate the law, as long as he does it in secret. Congress and the Courts are therefore irrelevent. Frank is on here to support a dictatorship and derail the thread.
“Nothing illegal was done here.” Conclusory. You don’t know the evidence, and it is ok with you if no evidence ever sees the light of day. Yet sufficient evidence has been uncovered to suggest multiple crimes: obstruction of justice, perjury, lying to Congress, violations of the Hatch Act, violations of the Presidential Records Act, conspiracy to interfere with a federal prosecution.
You know, Frank, if you and your ilk got your way, the only solution to the Executive Branch’s violations of the law and Constitution would be assassination. When the rule of law no longer exists, people turn to violence. Is that what you ultimately want?

You live in America which is NOT a Fascist country. It is a Democratic Republic that financially follows Socialistic Capitalism (with less emphasis on the socialism).
Fascism is dead. And for good reason. It’s barbaric.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism
“Fascism has been defunct in the Western world as a major political ideology since the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II.”
Try joining the 21st century where Democracies are in fashion, because while not perfect, they are far more humane.
April 21st, 2007 at 9:50 amSo, what, in the mind of a fascist, would be serious enough abuse by the executive to warrant investigation?
Torture?
April 21st, 2007 at 9:51 amKidnapping?
Murder?
Invading countries?
Targeting political enemies?
Revealing the identity of a covert operation front company?
Covering up obstruction of justice?
Covering up a blow-job?
Off topic:
US just released Posada Carriles, a guy that bombed a plane full of cuban civilians, a terrorist. How does that fit under the War on Terror? Pure crap.
April 21st, 2007 at 9:53 am“Mussolini defined fascism as being a right-wing collectivistic ideology in opposition to socialism, liberalism, democracy and individualism”
Fascism is anti-Democracy… No Fascist should love America. America stands for everything Fascism opposes..
Go away Frank. It’s the Fascist thing to do.
April 21st, 2007 at 9:54 amI am not afraid to call myself a fascist: I believe in strong executive, strong military and loyalty to the state.
Comment by Frank Matthews
Oh, you are not afraid! What a tough guy. Either way you are doomed to fail, as all fascists states.
April 21st, 2007 at 9:55 amGonzales is just a corrupt Bush stooge, so do not expect him to show any courtesy to Sen. Pryor. As for that fool, Sen. Graham, his buying 5 cheap rugs for 5 bucks in Baghdad says it all.
April 21st, 2007 at 9:56 am#38: you’re talking about hypotheticals, but I would say that treason in the form that weakens our military would be worth investigating. If someone was selling military secrets, for instance.
I can see you’ve put a lot on emphasis and spin to describe the methods required (coercive interrogations and decapitation of leadership) in the post-9/11 world as worthy of investigation, but that’s where I disagree vehemently. Those are necessary tools for pursuing the war on terror.

April 21st, 2007 at 9:57 ammatthews.frank@gmail.com
Frank, you’re so full of it, why would you love a country who’s history shows a clear disdain for fascism? Sounds to me like you’re seriously confused about what America is about, why it was founded. People died to keep fascism out of America, and the world. So what’s there to love? We don’t have a strong executive, you have an incompetent one. Our military is stretched too thin, they couldn’t intervene in any new action. Our borders are wide open, our ports, our infrastructure is weak. You got nothing Frank but your own little confused reality.
April 21st, 2007 at 9:57 amThe spam filter is once again eating posts with links to facts… Faiz, I think you guys might have a Fascist spam filter… LOL
Sheesh. It’s frustrating to type something and have it eaten when the point was to provide validation or reference for what you just typed. I really don’t understand why you guys still haven’t fixed that after all this time…
April 21st, 2007 at 9:58 am36 – but this country was not designed to be a fascist state. Fascism and democracy are incompatible. Your own comments are evidence of that. You support a strong Executive, not co-equal branches of government. You support the rule of fascists such as yourself, irregardless of the rights of others.
Your path will lead to violence in America not too dissimilar to what is happening in Iraq.
To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Fascism must rule through force and oppression. The greater the force and oppression, the greater the resistance.
Fascism must also rule by fear. Since you are a Fascist, you are also ruled by your fears.
April 21st, 2007 at 9:59 amunbelievable,
Cafferty, Olbermann, Stewart, Colbert, and I’ll even admit that on occasion even Joe Scarborough will take a stance that doesn’t promote Frank’s fascist agenda, but that’s about it. I like Cafferty’s style, he’s pretty blunt. More like him please.

April 21st, 2007 at 10:04 amJust to make sure I understand you correctly:
And, just with fascist Germany, 9/11 could have been committed by a faction within the government, to be used to elicit the fear in people such as yourself so thaty you would accept the above crimes.
My list isn’t “spin.” It’s the result of learning the facts and applying the facts to national and international law.
April 21st, 2007 at 10:04 amOff Gonzales for a moment. It has been really weird how Bush has been exploiting the Virginia Tech massacre for his benefit. Dubya is a mass murderer himself, so I find his exploiting this situation to be disgusting.
April 21st, 2007 at 10:09 amIt shows the world that the United States is the greatest State Sponsor of Terrorism.
And our new commenter, Frank, reinforces that view. Europe saw what happens when a fascist state is allowed to exist and make war on other states. If Frank gets his way, it will be the United States against everybody. The exodus has already begun; Halliburton has fled the country. Others will follow.
When China quits financing our debt our economy will spiral into depression overnight. Civil unrest will follow. Those that can afford to leave the country will leave. The government will impose martial law. We will experience first-hand what the citizens of Iraq have been living for going on five years now.
This is the path we are on, unless we change.
April 21st, 2007 at 10:13 amre unbelievable- you can’t reason with an idiot, entrenched, fear and plain laziness to change are the driving forces behind the republican party- paranoid psychos who are afraid of yesterday today and tomorrow, it seems the usa is wasted on them, democracy = freedom, self respect, oh- and honesty
April 21st, 2007 at 10:14 am50 – yet VT demonstrates that nothing that has been done can prevent massacres.
The only reason we haven’t been attacked by “terrorists” is because “terrorists” don’t want to attack us. They could if they wanted to.
We have to address the root cause of why people resort to acts of terrorism in the first place; oppression and a lack of redress through the judicial system.
April 21st, 2007 at 10:16 amJay,
No it’s not weird, bush is nothing but a photo op, and another empty slogan, just like New Orleans, 9/11, Mission Accomplished, Go shopping, and so on, and so on… Think he’ll do anything for security, you know like getting to the root of the problem of VT, and well anyone in general going postal? I think not, we can just expect more and more of death, and violence, and an increasing crime rate in this country.
April 21st, 2007 at 10:17 amFaire > the massacre of college students proves that Americans have more of a chance being killed by a nut in the US, than outside terrorists coming to get us. With the wide-open Mexican border the entire Chinese Army could come get us, but they know our country is rotting from within so why bother.

I think if he sat and thought about what it would mean to live in a fascist country, and that his job could be being forced to clean up toxic spills without protection, he might again think what it would be like to live in a country where the govt respects, and protects it’s population, and doesn’t exploit them.

And decided you should all be stripped of your possessions, and killed? It happened in Europe not so long ago. I imagine a lot of people who died in the ovens believed in strong government too.
Under fascism, there is no personal recourse but violence. And I don’t personally feel FascistFrank has the ability to really fight (or he would be in Iraq, and too busy to post here).

Well, that is not really accurate. The government can’t look at their emails because the dog ate them. The Republics have two tactics to cover their butts. The first is the “I don’t recall” tactic and the second is “Oh sorry, we can’t find it”. I guess both are just coincidences.

Comment by Frank Matthews
1. There is nothing wrong with secularism, as such.
2. “Tolerance towards terrorism,” would be a president who sells weapons to the Iranians while they are holding Americans hostage — and while telling the American people “we don’t negotiate with terrorists.”
3. Sexual deviancy is more a conservative family value, as exemplified by the number of convicted conservative pols. Mormonism isn’t secular – yet it engages in “sexual deviancy” by tacitly endorsing polygamy within it’s flock.
4. “Drug abuse?” Were you attempting to be serious? Surely you know about the Betty Ford clinic? Was she a liberal? If you count alcoholism, and prescription drug abuse, conservatives don’t particularly stand out for their temperance.
A bunch of rightist baloney.

April 21st, 2007 at 2:24 pmOh, Frank:
In the United States, the teen pregnancy rate is more than nine times higher than that in the Netherlands, nearly four times higher than the rate in France, and nearly five times higher than that in Germany.
In the United States, the teen birth rate is nearly 11 times higher than that of the Netherlands, nearly five times higher than the rate in France, and nearly four times higher than that in Germany
In the United States, the teen abortion rate is nearly eight times higher than the rate in Germany, nearly seven times higher than that in the Netherlands, and nearly three times higher than the rate in France.
In the United States, the teen gonorrhea rate is over 74 times higher than that in the Netherlands and France, over 66 times higher than the rate in former West Germany, and over 38 times higher than that in former East Germany.
The proportion of sexually active teenage men and women ages 18 to 19 that had two or more sexual partners within the past year is substantially higher in the United States than in France. Data on number of sexual partners are not available for Germany or the Netherlands. Having two or more sexual partners increases youth’s potential risk of becoming infected with HIV and other STIs
France, Germany and The Netherlands are all LIBERAL.
The US is currently run by NEOCONS.
Let’s see you try to justify the facts above.
April 21st, 2007 at 2:24 pmGonzales’ “I don’t remember” testimony comes across as flipping off Congress, 64 times.
April 21st, 2007 at 2:26 pmMaybe the reason why Bush doesn’t want Rove and Meiers to testify in public, under oath, is he doesn’t want them to break Gonzales’ record for the number of “I don’t knows.” That could also explain why they don’t want transcripts made even of closed-door “interviews.”
With such a bad memory, it’s amazing Gonzales can hold any job more demanding than that of a greeter at WalMart.

April 21st, 2007 at 4:11 pmGonzo knows where the bodies are buried but he is under orders to shield for KKKarl Rove at all costs. KKKarl Rove lost his five years worth of emails that would solve all the puzzles in this corrupt and incompetent administration. KKKarl Rove makes Nixon look like a good guy.
April 21st, 2007 at 5:24 pm“Gonzales and his chief of staff mobilized a plan to “gum the process to death,†run out the clock, and keep Griffin in office.”
…THIS is the CRIMINAL Bushite cabal’s template for skirting responsibility for their incompetence and corruption…
…”gum the process…run out the clock”…
…exactly what Bushiva, L’il Dick and their co-conspirators in the Repulsivscum Party are doing…
…in Iraq, on Gonzales’ resignation, and the myriad of democratic investigations into their corruption…

…since YOUR kind- (conned’self-serving Bushite inbred racist fascists)…
…are the world’s biggest “terrorists”…
…then the people of the world should be using…
…”coercive interrogations and decapitation of leadership”…
…on you Bushite inbreds…
…right?
April 21st, 2007 at 10:59 pmThe criminals in this administration have no intention of keeping their word about anything pertaining to accountabiblity. Period.
They are hard-core criminals that will say ANYTHING at the time to get by and then continue to do what they want until someone STOPS THEM!
Playing “nice” only encourages them. The will perceive you as weak and run right over your ass. The Democrats either have to start doing something about removing these crooks ASAP or they can be considered part of the problem.
