Alberto Gonzales: I’ll Cooperate with Leahy Truth Commission
By David Weigel 2/19/09 1:01 PM

Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales appeared at a forum on Republicans and the Hispanic vote at the Capitol Hill Club this morning, getting a standing ovation from the crowd when he was pointed out by the moderator. As Gonzales left, I asked him whether he would participate in a “truth commission,” as proposed by Sen. Pat Leahy (D-Vt.), to look into alleged law-breaking by the Bush administration.

“My view has always been to be as cooperative as possible,” said Gonzales, “and that’s what I’ve been with respect to everything. As far as I’m concerned I’ve got nothing to hide and I’ll cooperate. Every time I’ve been asked to cooperate, I’ve cooperated. In terms of what happens in the future, I’m not going to comment on that, but that is what I’ve done in the past.”

Gonzales went further: “I think only a fool would be unconcerned about any kind of commission or investigation in this political town and in this political climate. Having said that, again, because I feel like I’ve got nothing to hide and I’ve done nothing wrong, I’m not worried about the truth, so long as what we’re talking about is the truth and things don’t become politicized.”

:eyes:

by saying "I don't recall" over and over again.

That's as close to the Truth as a neocon gets.

his memory was that bad. Tsk. Tsk.

asking him the same question, and if Harvard Law could revoke Fredo's law degree.

Go to the Harvard Law website and click on the faculty button.
A friend of mine grew up with him and said Ron Silver should have won an Academy Award for making him look sympathetic in "Reversal of Fortune."

He'd probably support Gonzo. :eyes:

I would not bet on it.

But when on the stand he can't remember anything.

don't remember. And that's the truth!"

that I can't recall the name of right now.

"The only time someone in D.C. will admit to not knowing something is if they are under indictment."

may be turning "state's evidence" may just realized the goose is cooked in a sense and trying to come out on the better end.

He's unemployed and probably needs the money. We'll see how far his loyalty goes when he's broke and under investigation.

I have been waiting to see who would be the first to crack, Rove says he will appear, Gonzales says he will co-operate, It is starting to look like maybe they are getting a message maybe from somewhere and are thinking of making some deals to save their sorry asses. If a few more come forth and start agreeing to talk I will figure that maybe, just maybe pressure is mounting and they figure prosecutions are coming and they may start lining up. Hope is good.

...the last time this moron recalled anything.

Between Gonzo and Rove, maybe someone (Conyers?) is making an end-run on W* and the dick.

she'd be my uncle..........

because his "untimely death" will bury the evidence along with Ken Lay's undisclosed location.

:lol:

here's exactly how Gonzo "cooperates"

Thanks

mimosas with breakfast. When all else fails, fake it. Your brain will believe your mouth and think, "Oh, we're having fun!" And then your brain will direct your body to produce wonderful things, like pheneromes and serotonin. Or something like that.

After the last eight years, I have to remind myself each morning that a new era has arrived. Of course, I'm in California so it was still fairly early when I read the article. Nothing has topped it so far today, but I am hopeful. I will give your suggestion serious consideration.

Oh you mean in this non-corrupt government that's taken over the country?

Thats right, Bert, it's gotcha-back time, watch out here we come.:sarcasm:
