I hope you all watch Conyers grill Gonzales tomorrow morning.

Should be good. My understanding is that the hearing begins at 9:30am EST, and I assume C-SPAN will have streaming video of it all.

If you haven't had the chance to see Mr. Conyers in action, tomorrow will probably serve as an excellent introduction.

Gonzales Will Stay on Message at Thurs. House Hearing

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales will again apologize for the "process" that led to the dismissal of eight U.S. attorneys last year, acknowledging that he should have ensured a "more vigorous" evaluation of the federal prosecutors, according to prepared remarks to be delivered tomorrow on Capitol Hill.

Gonzales, who is scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee, stands by his previous statements that he had little involvement in the actual decision-making process, which he says was largely delegated to his then-chief of staff, D. Kyle Sampson. "I did not make decisions about who should or should not be asked to resign," Gonzales will say again tomorrow, according to the draft testimony. The testimony, which was provided to Capitol Briefing, was delivered to Capitol Hill late last night.

Gonzales's appearance before House Judiciary, which is examining the firings amid accusations that the dismissals were done to install politically loyal prosecutors, marks the attorney general's third attempt to explain the ousters in less than four months. The previous appearances were before the Senate Judiciary Committee, including what had been hyped as a make-or-break testimony last month for protecting his job.

The April testimony was largely panned by both Republicans and Democrats, but Gonzales has held onto his job with strong support from President Bush. This prepared testimony for Thursday's appearance does not appear to diverge much from what has been the Gonzales approach for almost two months: He wasn't much involved in the details of the almost two-year-long process of evaluating the U.S. attorneys, but none of the firings were ordered for improper reasons to speed up prosecutions of Democrats or impede investigations of Republicans.

for the blow by blow account.

Thank you DU community in advance!

Video footage from the gallery would be real neat, especially if it's close to real time.

I just wrote myself a note so I won't forget. I hardly ever watch TV, but I'll watch this (if it's on TV).

Thanks Will! :hi:

Robert Greenwald to call out war profiteers before the Murtha Committee
Posted by Robert Greenwald on May 9, 2007 at 11:59 AM.


Tomorrow morning I testify in front of the "Murtha" committee. We worked on the short clips they will show, and Lissette, the amazing editor at Brave New Films (she started as a trainee from Inner City Filmmakers), was able to cut IRAQ FOR SALE down to 4 minutes. No small feat.

So do I re-read Jeremy Scahill's brilliant BLACKWATER? Doesn't seem necessary as Jeremy will also be testifying!

here comes the guest of honor

When did the US Attorney Firings controversy really begin?

I discovered some new possibilities while researching this thread:
Missouri attorney a focus in USA firings = Bradley Schlozman

................

to be continuing the fire until tomorrow.

Can't wait.... A serving of Gonzales hopefully well done
with crisp burnt edges that reveal on the inside
the pig that he is.
