When confronted with cocaine in her pocket, she denies the pants belong to her and disavows any knowledge of how she came to be wearing them. When confronted with incontrovertible evidence and sworn testimony of what happened to the DOJ under his watch, Gonzales appears not to know he ever worked there.
