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.
Some of the prosecutors have objected to McNulty's assertion that the firings were related to their performance, and two have alleged that they were pressured by elected officials over the political corruption investigations of REPUBLICANS they were conducting.
Republican Attorney General Gonzales and other Justice Department officials have said that his chief assistant Sampson quit because he withheld information from other officials and Sampson's action may have led them to give misleading testimony before Congress.
Sampson's attorney has disputed that characterization and has said that others in the Justice Department were fully aware of "several years" of discussions with the White House about dismissing the prosecutors.
Common sense tells us that more lies will be forthcoming.
