Buzzflash: Married to the Mob, the Story of Alberto G.

[demobabe]

A BUZZFLASH EDITORIAL

We don’t know if Alberto Gonzales is married or not, because your family life comes second when you are married to the mob.

And if there were any doubters about BuzzFlash’s long-time contention that Gonzales is the consigliere to the Bush organized crime family, it is now gone from anyone who has read about the hit man visit of Gonzales and former Bush Chief of Staff, Andrew Card, to a hospitalized, medicated, severely ill John Ashcroft. You see, the two enforcers for Bush and Cheney were trying to force a gravely weakened Ashcroft into approving the infamous illegal domestic wiretapping powers that "Fredo" Bush and Godfather Cheney so greedily sought.

The mob effort of Gonzales and Card was so transparently illegal, it even forced the normally Bush-supportive editorial board of the Washington Post (that at times has written editorials that have rivaled the Wall Street Journal for fiction writing to back Bush and Cheney) to declare:

"James B. Comey, the straight-as-an-arrow former No. 2 official at the Justice Department, yesterday offered the Senate Judiciary Committee an account of Bush administration lawlessness so shocking it would have been unbelievable coming from a less reputable source."

Let’s be clear: This was John "God is the King of America" Ashcroft who found, as Attorney General, that the infamous domestic wire tapping did not pass the muster of the Constitution or standing law. If Ashcroft, who loved executions and torture, was opposed to the Bushevik bypassing of FISA, this must have been real bad stuff, Corleone-style spying on the opposition and anyone who got in the way of the Busheviks, not Osama bin Laden’s pals...

8. Bush was/has been using this "program" to spy on his opponents & friends and its so illegal that

even John Ashcroft couldn't rubber stamp it....

I have long believed that the truth will be revealed someday and the testimony by Comey is the beginning of the truth coming to light....

I think the Bush Administration has been spying on its opponents politically to know what they are doing and staying ahead of them and how to counter (didn't anyone ever think how amazing it was that whenever during the 2004 Campaign, whenever the Kerry Campaign did something, the Bush Campaign had a response and talking points within a short amount of time, sometimes even in advance?) I also believe they have used this spying program to know what everyone in Congress (Dems and GOP) are doing and their darkest deepest secrets and then use it to stronghold and threaten them to doing what they wanted. (Ever wondered why the GOP, even its more moderate members will suddenly stop speaking out about something?) I've long believed that they are all afraid of the Bush Administration and know what they are capable of doing.

9. Alberto Gonzales' Difficult Past

3/17/07
Gonzales' father was arrested for drunken driving five times in 17 years covering much of Gonzales' childhood and adolescence. Pablo Gonzales died in an industrial accident in 1982 when Gonzales was at Harvard Law School.

A younger brother, Rene Gonzales, died under mysterious circumstances in 1980. In 1991, the same year Alberto Gonzales became one of the first Hispanic partners at the white shoe Houston law firm of Vinson & Elkins, his younger sister Theresa pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine with intent to deliver. Nine years later, while Gonzales was on the Texas Supreme Court, his mother and another brother signed over their houses to a bail bondsman to raise bail for Theresa after she was charged with the same offense.

Most of these details did not arise in his Senate confirmation hearings, even though they might reasonably have been thought to affect his views about crime, drug and alcohol policy, and sentencing--all issues overseen or influenced by an attorney general.

What does the omissions of these details mean?
