Doolittle: Home search timed to help Gonzales

[ck4829]

GOP Rep. John Doolittle accused the government Sunday of leaking word of an FBI search on his home to coincide with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' Senate testimony on the fired U.S. attorneys controversy.

Doolittle, who's under scrutiny in the Jack Abramoff influence peddling scandal, made the allegation in an op-ed published in the Auburn Journal in his Northern California district.

FBI agents executed a search warrant on Doolittle's home in Virginia on Friday April 13. News of the search became public on Wednesday April 18, and Gonzales appeared before a Senate committee on April 19.

"I do not believe it was a coincidence that the leak came the day before Attorney General Alberto Gonzales testified before Congress on charges that his office was overly partisan in its firing of eight U.S. Attorneys," wrote Doolittle, "especially considering Gonzales specifically cited his recent prosecution of Republican members of Congress as evidence to the contrary."

2. Hmmm blaming Gonzales for his mess

3. "Honor among thieves"

I wonder who was the ancient philosopher making that astute observation-never more poignant than it is today.
Like the I-man, whose offended and puzzled plaint, running throughout all his excuses, was that he was an equal opportunity basher, so everybody's out to get him. Gones-all-ass' underlying whine is that he's being picked on but, staunch little soldier that he is, he will even-handedly march forward, indicting the guilty and soldiering bravely on in his hard, thankless job.
