Leahy To Schlozman: ‘You’re Trying To Break Gonzales’ Record’ Of Saying ‘I Don’t Recall’»

Today before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Justice Department official Bradley Schlozman was supposed to testify on his role in the politicization of the Department’s Civil Rights Division and political cases he pursued against liberals while U.S. attorney in Missouri.

But instead of explaining his actions, Schlozman repeatedly claimed ignorance on the many scandals in which he’s been involved. At one point, committee members could no longer take it. Fed up, chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) held up a Justice Dept. manual on election offenses and said:

You know, I tend to think that perhaps you use this more as a doorstop than as something you actually had to follow. … I think you’re trying to break Attorney General Gonzales’ record of saying you “don’t recall” or you “don’t remember.” I’ve lost count of the number of times you’ve said that.

ThinkProgress has put together a compilation of Leahy’s statements and Schlozman’s many “I don’t recall” moments. Watch it:

    UmmI’ve known abotu this hearign for week and had all that time to prepare, read my notes, refresh my memory etc… but I still don’t recall. But I’m not incompetant.

    This guy looks like someone who enjoys playing stinky-pinky on the playground.


  3. RUCerious Says:

    Truth serum drugs are in order.
    They know, they just pretend to forget.
    Sodium pentathol, or one of its cousins would jog his memory big time.
    Hey, it’s not torture, it’s just enhanced interrogation!

    Zooey?
    Zoooooey>??
    Uh oh, call 911, I know she was watching this,…and playing her drinking game.
    Blood alcohol probably around .023 by now.


  5. Heterodoxy Says:

    This guy sounds like a girl…..not that there is anything wrong with that.


  6. SKdeA Says:

    Zooey, put down the bottle!

    Really, when are they going to start using a polygraph machine? If the defendants have nothing to hide, they shouldn’t object.


  7. Largo Says:

    He probably can’t recall what happened to his nuts, either. Talk about a profile in “weaseltude”. Sheesh…..


  8. Krazny Says:

    I think congress should engage in public waterboarding, after all it doesn’t hurt anyone right?


  9. Angry One Says:

    For the latest news, document dumps, email archives, hearing transcripts and other essential materials in the firings of U.S. attorneys, see:

  10. JPV Says:

    He sounds like he inhaled helium… not that he would recall doing so.


  11. Zooey Says:

    Hellooooooo!!!

    Wow……I had no idea……I could drink so much…..in one afternoon.

    Or week.

    Or month!!

    Is it me, or does the dude sound like a lady?

    Ha!!!


  12. Rick Says:

    This is the Rove defense by Republicans. I don’t recall…………..Now prove us wrong since there is no e-mails……Republicans know your have to prove them guilty…….Ha Ha Ha up yours America.


  13. Keith H. Says:

    What about that new scientific brain wave technology where it can show within like 99.999999 percent correct if the defendant is lying or guilty? Plug this clown in and then prosecute the little twit.

    Ya know, if I had a voice that sounded like that I’d either refuse to speak . . . . or slit my wrists !


  14. powkat Says:

    Anyone with half a brain can see that he’s lying. The blinking, the head bobs, wringing his hands - and is that his real voice? Whiny little toad.

    I do hope Leahy and Co are keeping a record and will call these guys back and tell them to talk or go to jail with Scooter.


  15. TripMaster Monkey Says:

    SKdeA sez:

    Really, when are they going to start using a polygraph machine?

    Why stop there? Let’s just install a waterboarding table in the room.

    Good enough for the “enemy combatants”, good enough for this lying puke.

    And then we’d be able to see firsthand if torture can really extract intelligence as well as the neocons want us to believe it can, of if it will just break Schlozman’s spirit and leave him a pathetic wreck of a man. Should be interesting.


  16. gumby Says:

    He’s a high talker.


  17. Keith H. Says:

    #15 powkat,

    Yes it’s true, also notice that he shrugs his right shoulder nearly every single time he lies about not remembering.


  18. chimpeach Says:

    If you say that you don’t remember something, but you actually do, that’s a lie.

    I say that for the benefit of Republican criminals who think it’s just a nifty way to get out of answering a question. Schlozman, Gonzales, and Doan have perjured themselves by saying under oath that they don’t remember something when they actually do. Nobody’s memory can be as selectively bad as that and I think the Judiciary Committee needs to press that point.

    This administration continues to use lies to get its way. The lying is habitual now. It has to stop.


  19. Damian Says:

    #16, sounds fine to me. Might we also add an electric current from that lie-detector to whatever testicles this wee man has?


  20. Richard Says:

    Is this really this guys voice?


  21. Candyce Says:

    The guy went to Monica for the USA job and got it within two weeks. Not a single day in court behind him. Go figure.

    “What about that new scientific brain wave technology where it can show within like 99.999999 percent correct if the defendant is lying or guilty? ”

    Hook it up with about 3,000 volts to his manhood, he’ll remember a lot!


  24. Tom3 Says:

    AlbertoVO5 sounds like a girl, too.

    These Repuke crooks are all fairies.

    And they bashed gays to stay in power.

    Disgusting.

    That’s why I love Republicans, their core value of “Personal Accountability”.

    What a joke.


  27. Wayne A. Schneider Says:

    Hook it up with about 3,000 volts to his manhood, he’ll remember a lot!

    Comment by RUCerious

    OT, but whenever I see or hear the word “manhood”, I’m reminded of the spat between George H.W. Bush and Bob Dole during the (I think) 1988 presidential race. Bush said that that Dole thought he should apologize for. Dole said, “George Bush doesn’t have the manhood to apologize.” When asked for a comment by reporters, Bush told them, “On this manhood thing I’ll put mine up against his any time.” It most definitely did not come out the way he intended.


  28. President Clinton Says:

    What the hell?!!!

    I have that record Leaky Leahy, what the hell are you talking about, you stupid Senator!!!

    I hold the record of saying, “I don’t recall”

    don’t anyone think that they will break my record, you stupid imbeciles.

    I am the king of “I don’t recall”. not that my idiotic base cares.


  29. theWalrus Says:

    This is all about plausable deniability. If nobody can remember or recall, nobody gets caught (in illegalities).

    #1 Rive dictum scrawled on prep room blackboards all over the DOJ and WH.


  30. bluefish Says:

    Bradley Schlozman. Willfully ignorant or grossly incompetent? Either way, he fits in perfectly with this administration. You have to be one or the other to be part of the team.


  31. Zooey Says:

    Comment by Wayne A. Schneider

    Hey, hey that’s a hell of a slip of the tongue! :P


  32. toasterhead Says:

    I hereby nominate the term “Spongebob Noneck” to refer to this guy.


  33. Tom3 Says:

    Manhood is not a word I would use in connection with this Schlozman wussy.


  34. michael Says:

    It is obvious all of these people were told by the whitehouse to just say “I don’t remember”. THis whole thing is becoming a mockery. The rest of the world is laughing at us.


  35. Tom3 Says:

    Any time the Repuke trolls invoke Clinton, it means they’re losing and they know it.

    “Clinton did it too” is no defense. Dumbass trolls.


  36. E.E. Pointer Says:

    What a tool! This guy looks and sounds like he was an intern for Ally McBeal. How did he get through school with that memory?


  37. Ninbus Says:

    I don’t know who put that video together, but it gave me the Laugh of the Day (uh, make that the SECOND Laugh of the Day after hearing the pro-Scooter letters…”He’s a real family man,” etc.)

    Anyway: thanks! Superb video.


  38. Crump's Brother Says:

    I don’t recall remembering anything regarding something which could have been remotely outside of the law, even though my saying that might very well be illegal. I’m not sure I recall the question Senator. What was my name again? Could you have the typer person read my name to me off the official record so that I might recall that key piece of info? WHAT!?!?!? I’m attorney and my memory is important to the job. I was unaware that competency was a job requirement. Hell, the President is retarded and has a sub 100 IQ, I didn’t think people would care that I can’t recall thinking much.


  39. President Clinton Says:

    Any time the Repuke trolls invoke Clinton, it means they’re losing and they know it.

    “Clinton did it too” is no defense. Dumbass trolls.

    Comment by Tom3 — June 5, 2007 @ 5:48 pm

    As long as the media keeps on bringing me up, as long as I keep on interjecting myself into politics, I am fair game. Since I left office, both have happened. Thus, i am fair game. If we don’t want the idiotic Republicans to talk about me, I should go hide in a cave and shut up.

    Only one of my toolish fools would claim other wise.


  40. Damian Says:

    Little Schloz must’ve dreaded spelling bees.


  41. President Clinton Says:

    Plus, my toolish friend, Tom3,

    Leaky Leahy is wrong with setting the record, that is a FACT! I own the record of “I do not recall”.

    It is not about, since I did it, Republicans can do it too, but rather…

    I did it and Democratic politicans and voters didn’t care, they gave me a pass. Republicans do exactly the same thing, and we Dumbcrats and liberals come down on them with all our might and force. yet, we accepted and still accept the same behavior from our own.

    Ahhh, Tom3, my tool, my sheep, I love individuals like you, you are too stupid to think for yourself, thus you make the perferct candidate for a Dumbcratic voter. My wife would love it if you voted for her, ok?


  42. nolo Says:

    i have put together a short
    youtube clip, right here, that
    captures the essence of the
    timed-ACORN-indictments-issue
    . . .

    yes — schlozman looks to lack trutiness, here. . .

    importantly, he also asserts that he
    acted on authority of higher-ups — more bad
    news for alberto gonzales. . .

    what a busy-news-day for scandals, no?


  43. mongo Says:

    “Leaky Leahy is wrong with setting the record, that is a FACT! I own the record of “I do not recall”.

    Comment by President Clinton”

    Actually I think reagan during iran-contra takes the presidential crown for “I can’t recall”s.


  44. Tom3 Says:

    This repuke troll isn’t just inbred, he’s syphillitic.

    Definite brain damage. What a moron.


  45. MsJoanne Says:

    LMFAO! That guy sounds more like a girl then me…and I am a pretty girlie girl!

    Is this guy still employed? I don’t remember. (snicker)


  46. Spineless Says:

    What the hell is up with guys voice? Either he naturally sounds like a Chip & Dale, or he is so nervous about saying anything that stress has choked him up so much.


  47. trueblue Says:

    I’ve got it.

    He’s a “Munchkin!”


  48. indio Says:

    congress needs to grow some balls and start voting on contempt charges for refusing to answer questions which he obviously knows the answer to.


  49. nanlichi Says:

    The President Clinton puketroll is Patrick1 puketroll. Just changed the name. Same pure f*cking idiocy.

    It’s really kind of fun to see the syphalitic sycophantic whores go berserk. Their hero, their god Bush is going down and taking their party with him.

    Let’s just hope that we can kick these curs out before they take the country down with them.


  50. NoMoreBush Says:

    Uh, #25 — most gay guys are nearly as sissified as this guy.


  51. chimpeach Says:

    #49 indio

    congress needs to grow some balls and start voting on contempt charges for refusing to answer questions which he obviously knows the answer to.

    Exactly. If you let these guys get away with it, it’s an open invitation for anyone else who ever works in or with the White House to get out of answering questions the same way. That’s ANYONE else of ANY party.

    It’s simple. None of the U.S. attorneys who testified before the Judiciary Committee claimed inability to recall important events or discussions. Comey didn’t claim that. Only people who had a reason to cover something up, either for themselves or for the White House, have resorted to claiming over and over again “I don’t recall.” It’s a lie. Hit them with contempt charges.


  52. NoMoreBush Says:

    oops, #51 should have said “not nearly as sissified as this guy.” Typos be damned!


  53. chimpeach Says:

    #50 nanlichi

    It’s really kind of fun to see the syphalitic sycophantic whores go berserk. Their hero, their god Bush is going down and taking their party with him.

    Think about it. How f*cked up do you have to be to come in here and defend Bush?


  54. Robert Says:

    What’s your name?
    Don’t Recall

    What’s your wife’s name?
    Mrs. Don’t Recall


  55. The Barrister Says:

    If you don’t remember committing a crime…that means you’re innocent!


  56. MsJoanne Says:

    #54, not just to come here and defend Bush but to do so ANYWHERE!

    How can any American possibly defend this administration? If you do in any way, shape or form, you are so deluded it’s pointless to discuss anything other than maybe “what do you want for dinner” (be sure to blend it because senility is the first thing that comes to my mind and at that point they probably can’t find their teeth - lost long after their minds).

    Who are those 28%’ers anyway and what planet are they from? God, I hate people who have no ability to reason or think or discern bull$hit from reality.


  57. OxyCon Says:

    Schlozman is GUILTY!
    Guilty of inhaling Helium before he testified!


  58. Gus Smith Says:

    Schlozman’s performance appears to carry out the plan of ‘gumming’ the process to death. Let’s hope there is accountability after the hours spent by the Senators and staff. Kind of like questioning a 2-year old.


  59. Lindsey Says:

    Exactly what does it take to earn a “Contempt of Congress” charge from one of these committees? Does he have to stand up and moon them when he lies about not recalling?

    Seriously, the committee needs to charge one of these jokers. I get the feeling that there would have to be some kind of special counsel set up because the idea the DOJ prosecuting a person in their office doesn’t seem like something they can handle.


  60. NoMoreBush Says:

    Not to get all ad hominem, but the guy is butt ugly with a voice even a deranged little girl would be ashamed of. LOSER man.


  61. Mr. President Says:

    did he get kicked in the balls multiple times as a kid?


  64. Wayne A. Schneider Says:

    I’m sorry, but if I was a senator on that committee, I would have been too tempted to ask him if he was deliberately altering his voice thinking his identity was being concealed or is that how he normally talks?


  65. Philly Boy Says:

    Gumby nailed it. He is a high talker.


  66. dukane Says:

    wow, that’s depressing


  67. heyzeus Says:

    We need to remember that these Rovian justice department appointees are 3rd and 4th string lawyers, people who only got these positions because they were willing to do anything to be accepted, and to please their potential employers.
    They are not the best and the brightest, they are the losers and the backstabbers, who have made it thus far by pandering themselves to their supposed friends, teachers, professors, and now their employers.
    They have no concept of integrity, only loyalty and unquestioning obedience to their masters who have promised to take care of them should anything go wrong.
    Surprise, surprise little counselors, where is Alberto, George, Dick and Jesus now, huh?


  68. Yellowbird Says:

    Yes he sounds like he has been sucking helium.

    But what I want to know is who is his boyfriend behind him.

    Notice how they all dress alike… like girls on the playground with their Barbie dolls in the old days?

    At least this couple has kept their hair on. You think they are growing it back so they can infiltrate Democratic meetings?


  69. heyzeus Says:

    …..and they have awfuly squeaky voices.
    (I know I said this already, I’m just trying for post #69…..)


  70. Mark Richards Says:

    We should all thank the Department of Comedy (correctly pronounced as “Come Die”) for the humour. Credits also need to go to the seemingly inept Committee on the Judiciary who dance around these criminals rather than addressing the problem head on - as in serious business like triggering special prosecutors and indictments. They provide the stage and the current mal-administration provides the stand-up.

    I haven’t laughed and cried at the same time with this intensity since Watergate.


  71. heyzeus Says:

    rats


  72. spit take Says:

    No wonder Elaine thought she was talking to Noreen when her boyfriend Bradley Schlozman answered the phone! He even sounds a little bit like Jerry’s Nana.


  73. Gerry Long Says:

    This is the GOP which is inspired by the other lame-brain in the White House — 1980-1988. His name was Ronald Reagan, and he answered to about 150 questions reqarding Iran/Contra with 150 “I don’t recall”. He should have spent the rest of his life in jail for violating his oath of office to “protect the constitution”.

    Reagan, George H.W. Bush (”I was out of the loop.”) Gonzales, Goodling, Sampson, etc., etc. These bastards all seem to get Altsheimers once they have to answer questions under oath.

    One has to admire the only honest Republican statement of the last year. Old Duke Cunningham had the decency to say I did wrong, and I’ll pay the penalty.


  74. Fed the Fcuk Up! Says:

    Man, this red herring is really starting to reek it has gotten so old.

    Nothing will come of these hearings. They are interviewing a bunch of lawyers for Christ’s sake, do you expect them to tell the truth? If so, you’ve obviously never dealt with a lawyer.

    Shame on us for watching this pathetic diversion while our bombs and bullets are being used to perform genocide and engage in oppressive terrorism and the monuments to our apathy are being raised with increasing frequency at Arlington.

    Shame on us all.

    Is it a coincidence that the Dukestir is one of the few who have gotten caught?

    Admire duke cunningham? The guy who, subsequent to his incarceration, sent out a rambling diatribe denying he did anything wrong and blaming the *media* for misrepresenting the truth and causing him to get convicted and thrown in jail? That duke cunningham?

    Yeah, real admirable, whatever you say….

    Who is that guy sitting behind Schlozman? The expressions on his face, especially by the last clip, are priceless!

    Expect Jon Stewart or Dave Letterman to have fun with that…


  81. Chaz Says:

    I don’t remember (e.g. unless you have proof that I did it.)


  82. Paul in LA Says:

    Beautiful. But one question:

    How did the Senate get this Al Qaeda member to testify?

    One would have thought that Bushco would have found an Al Qaeda member with a better beard.

    (They probably hired him because of his eerie resemblance to Al Qaeda sympathizer Grover Norquist).


  83. Paul in LA Says:

    “Nothing will come of these hearings.” –Fed the Fcuk Up!

    Oh sure. There’s no purpose in trying to restore the JUSTICE SYSTEM.

    No, we need to keep crying over the shame of being taken to war by a traitor, and let them pervert the justice system all they want. Good thinking!


  84. Fed the Fcuk Up! Says:

    #84,

    If you think that these hearings are about restoring the integrity of our justice system then I know that they are having a bad air day in LA, because you are high on something.

    Go ahead, tell me everything is going to be great when the Dems finally have a majority in congress. Oh, wait, that hasn’t done sh*t yet. So then you’ll say that we need both congress AND the presidency. Yup, that’s the ticket. EXACTLY what the Repubs did back in the mid to late ’90s. The “Contract with America” Repubs, that guaranteed a balanced budget and smaller government.

    Snake oil salesmen just like the Dems, just a different logo. I’m sure they are happy to see that you are taking it hook line and sinker though.


  85. labs Says:

    i’d settle for restoring the constitution please.

    as for schlozman his memory failure is totally believable. we’re not talking about someone known for smarts. between he and gonzo there may be two brain cells but not more, those little brain cells get too crowded and start to heat up. can’t have that!


  86. lestatdelc Says:

    A far-sighted reason why “conservatives” and BushCo. oppose stem-cell research. If it lead to a cure for Alzheimer’s’… out goes their modus operandi for deflecting any problematic question during oversight.


  87. lestatdelc Says:

    “Weeeeeeee represent, the Justice Bush League…
    the Justice Bush League…
    the Justice Bush League…
    …and in the name of, the Justice Bush League…
    I can’t recall my memory… at… this… time.”


  88. OutSourced Says:

    Mon-eeek!-Ahhh Goodling got away with “I don’t know, and gee, if I did, I didn’t mean it and I’m awfully sorry,” testimony because she appealed to the Big Daddies in the GOP who just wanted to touch her Breck Girl hair.

    Brad has two more hairs than Kyle Sampson, but none the completely absent GOP’ers would want to touch. His voice would drive a drill sergeant crazy and earn Bradley a few much needed push-up and sit-ups. Bradley’s performance merely confirmed that his escapades alone probably deserve a dedicated prosecutor looking into them.


  89. nofltwlt Says:

    If these neocons believe in their crap then why is there not one of them who will stand up like a man - weak sisters, every last pathetic one of them. These are the cowards who took us to war. I think everyone of them should be tossed into a landfill never to be seen again - we must rid ourselves of such trash.

    I can just see this asswipe’s children viewing his testimony twenty years from now and say, daddy you are such a lizard.

  100. langs Says:

    There must be a constant odor of marijuana coming from the Justice Dept.

    I think somone should investigate.

    Gonzalez and Scholman need to be drug tested.

    Is there any other way to explain the memory loss.


  101. bronco214 Says:

    Is it just me or does he sound like a castratti? Maybe the day shooter wanted Rocky Mountain Oysters, the cafeteria was out but, he was there.
    Now, he’s not all there!


  102. DJL Says:

    I often can’t remember things right away, but I can reconstruct them if I have to. If the person cannot remember during his or her testimony, then Congress should demand that they provide a complete written answer within a short period of time (say, 1 week). This would allow the person the time to “reconstruct” (if, indeed, they have actually forgotten) their memory. Failure to respond would result in a charge of contempt of congress (with immediate imprisonment until the answers are provided) as well as beginning immediate impeachment proceedings - after all, why should we pay for someone to do a job that they are clearly incapable of doing (or remembering having done).

    HUH HUH! YUP! I think I remember what was I suppose to do. Aren’t these the same CLOWNS that want Torture, Solitary confinement for enemies of the STATE. WHY? doesn’t Leahy declare these Lawyers enemies of the Styae they are trying to circumvent the Constitution, send them to GITMO and TORTURE the HELL out of them, we in the real America can then listen to thier ples of Injustice and its not Constitutional.

    I mean a little WATER BOARDING never hurt anyone besides their republicans, you know like flies eat shit and bother people.

    Lets give them a little dose of their own requests and see how they like it, for instance contempt of Congress $100,000 dollar fine 30 days in solitary (no Lawyers) then come back to Congress and see if the CHICKEN littles sing.

    We are talking about the lowest SCUM and TRASH in AMERICA, the republicans GUTLESS, SPINELESS, BRAINLESS, COWARDS who are unable to think for themselves unless they are told what they are thinking is their thoughts and the IDIOTS believe it. YUP! TORTURE lots of TORTURE.

    Yup, intellectually lazy or LYING. His professed innocence, like Libby’s, is a veneer.

    Aw, cut the little bitch some slack. He obviously did his thinking (and remembering) with his “little head”, which he summarily had chopped off before the hearings…

    I’d put his “total unrecall” up there on the outrageous list 2nd to Jack Abrahamhoff saying he found Jesus just after they cuffed him.


  108. Cybershaman Says:

    Are ALL these neocons made up of people whose testicles never descended and had to have brass implants? Jeez!
    I’m beginning to think they have a movement made up of the kids who got picked on in school on a daily basis and have grown up to have gigantic chips on their shoulders…and an attitude that lets them justify any means for their fantasized ends. White collar criminals, all of them.

    Did this guy inhale helium before testifying?!?


  110. Ann Says:

    Did anyone notice the vast difference between Todd Graves and shoddy Schlozman who was hand picked to replace him. God help us!!!!!!!!!!
    THE Incompetent SHLEPS have totally taken control under this administration.


  111. Lunkin Says:

    Can we just take these people out of their offices and smack them around a bit?

    Poor Repubican trolls. You know it’s very sad what passes for wit amongst the Bushies. It’s even sadder what passes for reason and logic. None of these nitwits have the ability to admit that their side has committed crimes, has destroyed the reputation and moral standing of the country, and needs to be cleaned up. I’ll admit that the Clinton’s are not perfect — especially Hillary. But I’ll match Bill Clinton’s record against George W.’s any day. And the same goes for the Clinton vs the Bushy Administrations: in terms of intelligence and competence, Clinton and his gang are so far above Bush that Bush would need a high powered telescope to see. Let’s be frank, Janet Reno had issues as Att’y General, but Bush gives us “Let the Eagle Soar” Ashcroft and Little Weasle Gonzo. Reno wins hands down in THAT competition, although Ashcroft did have a better fashion sense.

    Oh, and another thing, Clinton’s a better man on his worse day than Bushy is on his best. Clinton has an admittedly political conscience. Bush lacks even that. Clinton had to work and study to get into the best schools — but he got in and he flourished there. Bush was given a pass because of his family, and he managed to get degrees from two of the finest schools in the world (Harvard and Yale) without learning a thing.

    Meanwhile, this shmoizle, Schlozman, is probably thenothing less than a sterling example of what Bushies mean when they think “manhood” and “honor.”

    sleaze factor 10

    the poster boy for the sickening twang of lies that infects each of their voices when they are lying, eek, that voice!
