1. Yes, but follow the process
Got to review the transcripts, check the facts, then cancel his sorry ass.

Let's take the time to dot the 'i's and cross the 't's.

Nail the bastard.

It's tradition.

3. Yes, of course, and if he does it...
then we'll know even more that he was full of shit.

4. But his only options with a new statement are to tell the truth or tell more lies

7. But his office released a statement tonight stating "He stands by his testimony!"
even though he still has a few days to make any corrections, I'd be very surprised if he did so after making that statement!

8. they have to let gonzo respond to the transcripts -- they have to
Edited on Wed Jul-25-07 08:34 PM by xchrom
set up for their own prosecutor -- it wouldn't run through the doj.

and it would probably take the rest of the time that gonzo has to serve.

9. You must be confusing simple perjury
with perjury concerning oral sex.

10. the precedent is that
he's lying under oath for a Repuke ... that means he will become the media darling of the Reich, and get his own show on Faux ...

11. What are they going to do? Refer it to the Justice Dept that Gonzo leads
and Bush appoints? He can say whatever he wants and he knows it.
