Gonzales In REAL Trouble Now

Well it now appears that Alberto Gonzales lied when he said "There has not been one verified case of civil liberties abuse," Gonzales told senators on April 27, 2005.

Six days earlier, the FBI sent Gonzales a copy of a report that said its agents had obtained personal information that they were not entitled to have. It was one of at least half a dozen reports of legal or procedural violations that Gonzales received in the three months before he made his statement to the Senate intelligence committee, according to internal FBI documents released under the Freedom of Information Act.

The acts recounted in the FBI reports included unauthorized surveillance, an illegal property search and a case in which an Internet firm improperly turned over a compact disc with data that the FBI was not entitled to collect, the documents show. Gonzales was copied on each report that said administrative rules or laws protecting civil liberties and privacy had been violated.

If he made this testimony under oath, he committed perjury. If he committed perjury, he needs to be removed from office. He has made too many mistakes and had the nerve to question Haebus Corpus during testimony in an earlier inquiry. I've called for his head before, but this is the final straw. If he is not removed from office, I suggest that he be fired when the new President is elected.

This is one of the times where I completely disagree with George Bush's view. You cannot invoke the trust of the American people if the head of your JUSTICE DEPARTMENT is lying to senators. I am unsure off the top of my head how the head of the Justice Department can be removed from office, but if you want to have the moral high ground, you have an obligation to tell your Senator to have him removed from office.

Don't know who your representative is? You can look it up here: Look up.
