LOL!: DOJ Investigates if Gonzales Tried to Influence Aide's Testimony
DOJ Investigates if Gonzales Tried to Influence Aide's Testimony

By Dan Eggen
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, June 14, 2007; 1:50 PM

The Justice Department is investigating whether Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales sought to influence the testimony of a departing senior aide during a March meeting in Gonzales's office, according to correspondence released today.

In a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, the two officials who are leading an internal Justice Department investigation of the dismissal of nine U.S. attorneys last year said their inquiry includes the Gonzales meeting, which was revealed during testimony last month from former Gonzales aide Monica M. Goodling.

2. And we're paying them for this sham.
While the terra-ists do who knows what, these guys are playing like they are really after Gonzo.

4. When the Cons whine about wasting taxpayer dollars for investigations
They'll soon be able to point to THIS farce of an investigation as a textbook example. What a joke.

8. DOJ investigates DOJ
Says DOJ conduct is regretable but not sure if it rises to the level of criminal. Will send itself a strongly worded letter.
DOJ responds with protests of innocence.
