PELOSI: "I Don't Think Gonzales Understood Difference Between Being Bush Lawer & Attorney General

[kpete]

Pelosi said it seems clear that Gonzales never stopped acting as President Bush's lawyer when he moved from the White House counsel's office to the Justice Department. But she said she would reserve judgment until House and Senate hearings reveal exactly what happened.

"I don't think Alberto Gonzales fundamentally understood the difference between being the president's lawyer and the attorney general of the United States and the premier defender of the Constitution,'' she said. "I think what is important is for us to have the hearings, which will be thorough and reasoned and put the facts on the record."

Pelosi said she believes Gonzales was not the only person involved in the decision to fire the federal prosecutors, many of whom were involved in pursuing corruption cases against Republicans.

"I don't think it looks good for him right now," Pelosi said of Gonzales.

1. He testified under oath that he did.

[Virginia Dare]

2. He probably did, he just chose to ignore it...

and then lied about it.

3. I want to know how many understood the oath to uphold the constitution.

There seems to be some serious misunderstanding between oath to the constitution or to the Republican party.

4. He understood the difference

but he did it anyway in an attempt to make the long arm of the law just a little shorter for the White House. He didn't "forget" anything. He did it purposefully and without remorse.

5. He -- and everyone else -- understood it perfectly well, Nancy

and I appreciate how "cute" your remark is, but I'm SO VERY SICK of people like you letting the Bushies off the hook instead of telling the absolute TRUTH.

We need YOU to KNOW the truth. And then we need you to speak it, fully and completely. We don't have time, or enough democracy left, for anything less.

6. He knows the difference. He simply doesn't care.
