Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who said he couldn’t recall more than 70 times during his last hearing before Congress, was asked yesterday whether he’s refreshed his memory: “I can only provide information as to what I know and to what I recall, and that’s what I intend to do, as I have done in the past.”
UPDATE: Conservatives enthusiastically back Gonzales:
In what may be the most spirited public defense of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to date, Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee today will demand an end to what one called an “endless piscine expedition” in the U.S. attorneys scandal….
“If there are no fish in this lake, we should reel in our lines of question, dock our empty boat and turn to more pressing issues,” [Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), the ranking member on Judiciary said].
