Dems Want Gonzales Off Abramoff Probe. . .
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/02/16/politics/main1323340.shtml?cmp=EM8706

Thirty-one Senate Democrats on Thursday asked Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to remove himself from the investigation into the Jack Abramoff scandal, saying the lobbyist's dealings with President Bush and others in the administration should compel Gonzales to step aside.

In response, Gonzales said that "we've got career prosecutors involved in this investigation as we do in all investigations; these are folks that are not motivated by any political agenda." The attorney general made the comment on Fox News Radio. Justice Department spokeswoman Tasia Scolinos said Gonzales has followed all department guidelines and there is "no reason for him to recuse himself from the investigation at this time."
