What Gonzales said...

Let's put together quotes, links, video of just what Gonzales said about the firings.

I see he's starting to wiggle and spin.

Here goes:


"I knew my chief of staff was involved in the process of determining who were the weak performers — where were the districts around the country where we could do better for the people in that district, and that's what I knew," Gonzales said last week. "But that is in essence what I knew about the process; was not involved in seeing any memos, was not involved in any discussions about what was going on. That's basically what I knew as the attorney general."

Later, he added: "I accept responsibility for everything that happens here within this department. But when you have 110,000 people working in the department, obviously there are going to be decisions that I'm not aware of in real time. Many decisions are delegated."

1. Gonzales has no email account at Justice.
Because Gonzales has no e-mail account at the Department of Justice, there will be no paper trail with his name on it, CBS News correspondent Stephanie Lambidakis reported.
