Gonzales Should Face Criminal Investigation and Prison Time
Alberto Gonzales Should Face Criminal Investigation and Prison Time if Found Guilty (Brent Budowsky)
@ 9:13 am
Now we learn that when Congress considered the Patriot Act, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales testified that there was not one instance of abuse of rights, when he had been privately briefed about more than one instance of abuse of rights.

Testifying falsely is a federal crime, whether under oath or not. There is now probable cause to conclude that Alberto Gonzales has testified falsely more than once.

There is a range of issues involving acts that could be in violation of law including testimony, cover-up of Abu Ghraib, eavesdropping without judicial approval and inappropriate firings that comprise a partial list.

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

Congress should pursue all court cases in search of evidence for investigations by the legislative branch, if necessary beyond the presidential term of George Bush, to defeat the false claim that executive privilege can be invoked to escape liability for criminal conduct.

1. Any competent person with memory problems keeps detailed notes
Demand to see his notes and if there are none then he must be Impeached for complete incompetence. There is no choice. America can not have any person in such high office demonstrate such incompetence without consequence. If Congress fails to do this they are every bit as incompetent as Gonzo..
