Kyle Sampson Lied To Congress....I Suppose That is Illegal, Don't You?
Repercussions????
Contempt of Congress? Lying under oath? Surely a crime has been committed??

~snip~ WASHINGTON, April 13 — A Justice Department e-mail released on Friday shows that the former chief of staff to Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales proposed replacement candidates for seven United States attorneys nearly a year before those prosecutors were fired, in contrast to testimony last month in which the aide said that no successors were considered before the firings.

12. Yes, it has been so. But if them Dems hold on to their spines
and don't blink, we could have impeachment proceedings for Gonzales and a perjury trial for Sampson tomorrow.

15. Robbien
He was coming back to talk to some staffers of the committee, and I think it was today.

That was until these emails were released, and he cancelled his appearance.
