Gonzales death watch, March 15
There are a couple of new developments.
First, Gord Smith is the second Republican senator to call for Gonzales to resign:
Second, Josh has a memo from Sampson with this interesting line in it: "Bush41 even had to establish that Reagan-appointed U.S. Attorneys would not be permitted to continue on through the Bush41 administration". It also says, "In 2001 Bush43 fired the Clinton-appointed U.S. Attorneys, some of which were in the midst of a four-year term . . ."
Now what was that about how bad Clinton was when he put his own people in?
Third, that same memo makes clear that Rove and Gonzales were directly involved in the firings, disproving previous claims by the administration.
Finally, Snow ran into heavy sledding at the gaggle this morning.
It's hard to believe Gonzales can hold on much longer, isn't it?
