"The Bush gang didn't have 12 hours...they had a whole weekend"

If this is true - only the shredder will know what really happened.
(sorry if it's a dupe - I scanned the first two pages for this)

There are new questions about when Gonzales told WH Chief of Staff Andy Card about the investigation, but this seems largely irrelevant. Card and the rest of the Bush gang didn't need word from the WH counsel's office on Sept. 29, 2003, to know that an investigation was underway; they, like the rest of us, learned about the probe days before hand.

The Bush gang didn't have 12 hours to cover their tracks — they had a whole weekend.

It's also important to note that Rich's discussion of the 12-hour gap, while important, isn't new. Senate Dems tried to raise hell about this two years ago, but no one — in Congress, the administration, or in the media — listened.

Dems blast White House on leak probe
Senators reiterate call for special prosecutor to investigate

Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle
The leak probe will move quickly, law enforcement sources say.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Four leading Democratic senators accused the White House on Thursday of bungling a probe into the leak of an undercover CIA officer's name in what the outed operative's husband calls an attempt at political intimidation.

1. Obstruction of Justice charges should be brought against Gonzalez.

2. Actually, they had months to prepare
if they thought that there would be an investigation.
