Gonzales asked to clarify testimony

By JESSE J. HOLLAND, Associated Press Write
35 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - A leading Senate Democrat asked Attorney
General Alberto Gonzales Wednesday to clear up apparent
conflicts in testimony from Gonzales and former top Justice
Department officials about the firing of federal prosecutors
and other matters.

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.., chairman of the Senate Judiciary
Committee, sent written questions to Gonzales so he can
prepare for his next appearance before the committee,
scheduled for July 24.

Gonzales has appeared in front of congressional committees
several times, and told the House and Senate Judiciary
committees that he hadn't talked with anyone about the
investigation into the prosecutor firings.

But Monica Goodling, the Justice Department's former White
House liaison, told the House committee in May that she had
an "uncomfortable" conversation with Gonzales where he tried
to review his version of the prosecutor firings with her.

1. "Please tell us why you lied to us, Gonzo" - American people
"We have a right to know why our public officials are lying, and to prosecute them for their lies. Wake up and smell the justice, you republicon, you."

7. It's time to stop asking for "clarifications," and start indicting. He lied.
He doesn't believe in the U.S. Constitution. Indict, impeach, and if he won't leave, de-fund. Stop farting around.
