"DO NOT DETER US FROM OUR MISSION" - Gonzales To Ask Congress To MOVE-ON Tomorrow
Edited on Wed May-09-07 01:58 PM by kpete
WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is challenging a House panel to move past the furor over the firings of U.S. attorneys and allow the Justice Department to focus on its mission: fighting crime.

In testimony prepared for his appearance on Capitol Hill Thursday, Gonzales also acknowledged that he should have been more personally involved in the process. He apologized for the way Justice handled the firings.

........

Still, the attorney general insisted anew that those fired were not dismissed for improper reasons. He challenged the Democrat-led panel to move on.

"Recent events must not deter us from our mission," Gonzales said. "I ask the committee to join me in that commitment and that rededication."

8. Typical Gonzo
"Warrantless wiretapping? Nothing to see here, please move along. Vote fraud? Keep walkin', buster. Wait. What did you say? You want to talk to me some more about my and the White House's alleged roles in the US attorney firings? Absolutely not! Can't you see I'm trying to fight crime here?!"

9. move on to the SECOND PHASE -- more intensive investigations, subpoenas,
JAIL TIME for defiant witnesses. That's how you fight crime.

Thanks for the encouragement, Gonzo.

15. These neo-cons are entrenched now, they'll *HAVE* to be dragged out
kicking and screaming. If we can't get impeachment proceedings going soon, I fear it's not going to be long before we're in Martial Law.

The new Democratic led Congress is systematically closing in the walls around these criminals, making them more dangerous by the day. We need to act NOW, not later.

Edited on Wed May-09-07 04:28 PM by Robbien
"Hey guys, other stuff is serious. My lawbreaking is a non-issue. You know, yesterday's business. Let us all just move on."
