Democrats Delay Alberto Gonzales’ Testimony In Hearing About The Fired Attorneys

April 6, 2007

The Democrats have delayed Alberto Gonzales’ testimony in the made up controversy that is the US attorney firings. The white house had wanted to move the hearings up to get them over with. The Democrats denied that request. The white house knows he did nothing wrong, so they want to put it in the past and get on with business. Now they have delayed the original date.

The reason I believe they did this was to drag out the trumped up controversy. They know no wrong act was committed here, they have even admitted it. But they know that Americans who don’t pay close attention to politics will be listening and they hope to make them believe criminal activity took place here. The longer they can drag this out, the more they believe it hurts the president, and that’s the true goal.

The Democrats are in no hurry to show the country nothing wrong happened here, they are just interested in making the administration look bad.

Digg!

    Or it may be they know they have nothing, and want it to die a silent death. They may have ridden out this horse as long as it will carry them, and by leaving it as is they still have their story and the cloud over the Administration.

    Funny, I was just thinking how quiet it had been on that front. Maybe it’s the recess also.

    I never thought of that angle, that’s a good possibility though. Just let it disappear.

    Let me get this straight, okay? Goodling and that guy before her resigned why? Because they didn’t do anything wrong? Why was Goodling going to take the “5th”? Let’s use an argument a lot of others have used with varying degrees of success: If they haven’t done anything wrong, what are they afraid of?

    This stinks, it’s not “trumped up,” Gonzales lied to Congress. That’s okay with you but not with most Americans. That’s why it’s still being dealt with.

    When did he lie to congress? He hasn’t testified yet.They are delaying his testimony, he wanted to testify, they haven’t let him.
    Did Bill clinton lie when he fired all 93 attorneys just because he had one targeted who was investigating a case in Arkansas?
