Gonzales: Miers Knew of U.S.A.'s Financial Situation
By Paul Kiel - May 10, 2007, 11:15 AM

Here's a new one. Adam Cohen of The New York Times reported last week that Kyle Sampson had told congressional investigators that Harriet Miers was "intent on removing" Debra Wong Yang, the U.S. Attorney for Los Angeles. Yang, remember, had opened an investigation into Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA), the most powerful Republican on the powerful appropriations committee. Yang left just before the firings occurred to join the firm that represented Lewis (the firm says she recused herself from any dealings with the case). Yang received a $1.5 million signing bonus.

Today, Gonzales suggested that Miers had targeted Yang for removal simply because she knew that Yang wanted a more lucrative position. "Ms. Miers may have known about Ms. Yang's concern about being able to remain on the job due to financial reasons," Gonzales testified. Watch it at link~

1. Ms. Miers may have known ....

Ms Meiers may have known?

Was that actually and answer that he gave? She may have known?

2. That was truly a priceless moment wasn't it?

Gonzo painting a picture of a concerned Miers, looking only after the well-being of her fellow Repuglinant lawyers.

How touching.

3. Gonzales is neither stupid or inept. He knows how to dodge, evade,

re-direct thoughts, etc. He's very clever. I'm not happy that the GOP seems to be conducting this softball game. Female (sorry, I was at the comp. and didn't get her name) really was the only one asking hard questions. He either evaded, didn't know, would have to get back to the committee or would respond via letter later on.... He has learned from the best and is putting it to good use. Lack of resources seems to be one of his fav answers to questions regarding crime, immigration, etc. No dope is he..
