Exclusive: E-mail Shows Internal Rift At Justice Over Firings
March 19, 2007 | 6:53 PM ET | Permanent Link

U.S. News's Chitra Ragavan has learned that one day after Justice Department Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty testified on Capitol Hill about the reasons eight U.S. attorneys were summarily fired, a Justice Department spokesman, Brian Roehrkasse--who was traveling abroad with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in Argentina -- sent an E-mail to McNulty saying Gonzales was unhappy with McNulty's testimony regarding why U.S. attorney Bud Cummins of Arkansas had been let go. That E-mail is what is causing the most concern at the Justice Department among the 2000 pages of documents about to be released on Capitol Hill in the next hour.

Among the 2,000 pages, there were a handful of other documents that are causing concern at the Justice Department, sources said, because they "may not put things in a great light" and could be seen as Justice officials' "potentially misleading" Congress, sources said, which is the key concern among members of Congress.

2. I don't know. KO said they've been released and he may get a
preview before his show ends. If not, we'll hear all about them tomorrow, especially this e-mail. :evilgrin:

3. Please meter it out slowly so I can enjoy the Repuke angst for weeks.
All this after less than 9 full weeks of forming Oversight Committee's - GEEZ - ya think the Repukes are a little worried about their fading political futures?????????
