"Gozales May Be Prosecuted" by fired USA McKay LINK

"Gonzales could be prosecuted, McKay says"

"The U.S. Inspector General may recommend criminal prosecution of departed Attorney General Alberto Gonzales at the conclusion of an investigation, possibly as early as next month, the fired former U.S. attorney for Western Washington told a Spokane audience Friday.

<snip>

"McKay said he was summoned to Washington, D.C., in June and questioned for eight hours about possible reasons for his firing by investigators with the Office of Inspector General, who will forward their final report to Congress.

“My best guess is it will be released sometime next month,’’ and likely will include recommendations for criminal prosecutions of Gonzales and maybe others, McKay said.

Gonzales “lied about” reasons for the firings when questioned under oath in July by the Senate Judiciary Committee and now has hired a lawyer and is refusing to answer questions from the Inspector General, McKay said."

3. I hope they fry his sorry ass. And I hope the trial lasts past Bush's term in office,
so there will be no Presidential interventions.

Unless the new Dem President does it to help "heal America." :( Which of course is complete bullshit, because nothing will help us heal as a nation like seeing the criminals who have abused us serving prison time.

5. That's the problem, of course.
Unless what Fine reports is replete with such heavy duty evidence of serious crimes by gonzo, that Taylor has no choice but to recuse himself and let the case be assigned to some other U.S Attny who's not as compromised. Did that make any sense? Sorry about the run on sentence.
