		<description>The 72% of us on the lunatic fringe have had enough.

&quot;It is clear to any unbiased observer that Comeyâ€™s story makes no sense and leads one to be thankful that our AG is the honest plain-spoken Gonzales and not a conniving schemer like Comey.&quot;

Arre you serious?  COME ON #56!  Are you aware that, before lunch on the first day of US Attorney testimony, Gonzo said, &#039;I don&#039;t remember,&#039; in one form ore another 71 times?  It&#039;s a verifiable fact--I kid you not.  Once, he actually said, &quot;I don&#039;t recall remembering.&quot;  &#039;Impressive!  &#039;Two  &#039;I don&#039;t remembers&#039; in one sentence.  It takes a record-setting amount of gall to call Fredo honest.  &#039;Nice job.

While your use of words like &#039;animus&#039; and &#039;histrionics&#039; suggest you have access to a thesaurus, your opinion is proof you have no access to the media.

Just admit it--you made a mistake in the voting booth in &#039;04.</description>

		<description>The 72% of us on the lunatic fringe have had enough.

  &quot;It is clear to any unbiased observer that Comeyâ€™s story makes no sense and leads one to be thankful that our AG is the honest plain-spoken Gonzales and not a conniving schemer like Comey.&quot; ?!?!?

Are you serious?  COME ON 56!  Do you even watch the news or read the paper?  Do you realize that Gonzales said, &quot;I don&#039;t remember,&quot; 71 times before lunch on the first day of testimony on the US Attorney firings?  Once he actually said, &quot;I don&#039;t recall remembering.&quot;  I p$h!t you not--two &#039;I don&#039;t remembers&#039; in one sentence.  Impressive.  It takes a record-setting amount of gall to call Gonzo honest.

Though I feel that your use of words like &#039;histrionics&#039; and &#039;animus&#039; prove you own a thesaurus, your actual opinion is ample evidence that you don&#039;t have access to any form of media.</description>

Yes, because it takes a real spine not to question authority.

As Americans, we remain free to obey, and free to conform. Anyone who wishes to use his freedom for other purposes is a coward.</description>

		<description>I am coming to this thread a bit late, but I did read most of Comey&#039;s testimony earlier.  As I read it, I got the impression that ther might be &lt;strong&gt;OTHER&lt;/strong&gt; program going on, something even &lt;em&gt;worse&lt;/em&gt; than the wiretaps.  Remember, there was not a blip on the horizon about the wiretap program for over 4 years.  We knew nothing about it - nada.  And the torture?  For over a year.  How much did we know before the pictures got out?  There just may be one worst program out there that we have no clue about yet.

If that is the case, and the way Gonzales parses words, it seems entirely plausible that he was telling the truth about no serious disagreement about the wiretaps, but if Comey is (not) talking about some other program, then it must be a DOOZY - especially if Ashcroft was ready to resign over it.

This scenario fits all the current evidence.  Don&#039;t be surprised if the sheit really hits the fan before too long: Someone will let the cat out of the bag, now that Congress under the Democrats is not enabling Bush.</description>

		<description>Re the letter from the Senators, and this post - are they kidding, or unable to read?

Read Gonzalez&#039; testimony - he quite clearly and craftily states that no one objected to the Dec 2005 version of the program, and he is probably right - Comey&#039;s own version is that DoJ objected to the Mar 2004 version of the program, and changes were made to accomodate them.

Is this complicated?</description>

		<description>Rep Conyers: Re Gonzales-Go to the episode about Gonzales and Card trying to get Ashcroft, barely alive in a hospital bed,  to sign a document authorizing  an illegal warrantless permission to  have spy surveillance. Comey,then the acting attorney general (Ashcroft was hospitalized with   cancer) ,was also against the illegal spying was present with Gonzales and Card but was pushed aside for Ashcroft. Comey was furious about this epsode and so was the head of the FBI, Mr.Mueller,who kn ew about this too and also threatened to resign. Shortly afterwards,  Comey spoke to Bush in an active exchange for  15 minutes or so and worked out a deal to allow the spying with later legal restraints  to follow. Specter  said that it sounderd like &quot;the Saturday night massacre&quot; of Nixon&#039;;s Watergate!.

Rep Conyers--please face Gonzales with the  implications of participating in an episode like the &quot;massacre&quot; of Watergate.</description>

		<description>Impeachment is not Republican or Democrat; it&#039;s American.  Regardless of outcome it is the means by which the people may make it&#039;s elected representatives accountable for high crimes and misdemeanors like treason.  Whatever, we and you know who and what they are.</description>

		<description>So number #56 fool you decided to post your crap on this site also. Sure going to a lot of blogs to make your non-point.

What a load of crap.  No one knew what the hell the story meant back them.  They hadn&#039;t caught up with the Gonzales we now know who is incompetent and certainly no AG but still works as a WH counsel.  The &quot;schemer&quot; is self-evident by merely listening to Comey and then to Gonzales. It&#039;s very easy to see. Their personalities give them away.  You just want to sweep it all under the rug...nothing to see here. You also give yourself away by using the phrase &quot; al-Queda and their minions within the USA&quot;, pathetic fear mongering. Far from &quot;histronics&quot;, we are all paying attention now that the corruption and lies  are pouring out of this administration, who, like the &quot; honest and (ha-ha) plain spoken &quot;(I can&#039;t remember, I can&#039;t recall) AG makes plain by ignoring a subpoena and forgetting to turn over pertinent withheld DoJ-WH documents and the conveniently lost emails of Rove, not to mention the hiring and firing practices of Goodling (which he approved), ran an illegal operation for weeks because Comey wouldn&#039;t sign off on it and neither would Ashcroft.  But you say nothing to see here, just a bunch of liberal bloggers making something out of nothing.  Better to keep one&#039;s mouth shut and let people wonder if you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt as in Comment # 56.  The only way to not know is to not want to know(Penn-Warren) and it&#039;s for certain you don&#039;t want to know.  Look at what you have become, another complacent denier of truth...or in other words, a spineless liar.</description>

		<description>To me, it seems so senseless for Gonzales to stay in since he keeps looking more like a fool by not leaving.  Then now questions are surfacing if there is yet another secret spying program, so why and what next?  Could it be that there is a mountain of underlying criminal activities that are begging to surface?  I know of a few and one in particular is that there are weekly $100 Million Dollar shipments of Cocaine coming in across the boarder into Texas each and every week.  The shipments arenâ€™t checked as corruption guarantees safe passage all the way to the destination point.  The shipments are trucked to Chicago where they are split up and redistributed to New York and Florida.  Up until 2004 the truck used was a Pepper Truck as the odor from Peppers is a good cover.   I donâ€™t think anyone will believe who is involved in this.  I also feel that most people wonâ€™t believe who actually ships the Cocaine as well.  I know this because I was in a family for more than 26 years who launders criminal money for this criminal system here in Chicago.  The money is laundered straight into property using Mortgage Fraud with big Banks.   I also feel that most people wonâ€™t believe of how many people are involved in this criminal system.  But no one will ever believe how this criminal system spies on everyone because snooping helps them manage their criminal activities.</description>

		<description>#10 Well this was about the re-authorization of the NSA program. That is what the legal certification on the authorization of the program was about, which led to the &quot;rush to Ashcroft&#039;s bedside&quot; becuase DoJ certification that the program, as it had existed at the time (and had been operating for two years), was legal under law was needed by the following day. Comey and Ashcroft would not sign it. Otherwise the POTUS would be authroizing a program which was illegal. They went ahead and authrozied it without DoJ sign-off, and then made unspecified modificaitons which Ashcroft used as the needed changes to make the already operting illegal program &quot;legal&quot;.

Though it does beg the question raised by Comey&#039;s testimony which indicated a centrality of the FBI head in this matter, which when taken in context with Feingold&#039;s question about whether this was some other domestic spying program, does hint at the sort of speculation you talk about.

#17 Convening a Grand Jury is something the DoJ has to do. It is not something Congress can do. SO in essence you are demanding that Bush convene a Grand Jury on himself and blaming Democrats in Congress for him not doing so.</description>
