Abu Gonzales Survives Another Week
But it’s not likely he’s going to be around long.
Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales met with senior aides on Nov. 27 to review a plan to fire a group of U.S. attorneys, according to documents released last night, a disclosure that contradicts Gonzales’s previous statement that he was not involved in “any discussions” about the dismissals.
Justice Department officials also announced last night that the department’s inspector general and its Office of Professional Responsibility have launched a joint investigation into the firings, including an examination of whether any of the removals were improper and whether any Justice officials misled Congress about them.
The stench of Abu’s corruption and mendacity will soon overwhelm Young Master Bush’s pungent aroma. Abu will soon be “spending more time with the family.”
