Reid Says Gonzales to Leave Within Month `One Way or the Other'

By Laura Litvan

March 23 (Bloomberg) -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he doesn't expect Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to survive the uproar over the firing of eight U.S. attorneys and predicted he will be gone in a month, ``one way or the other.''

Reid, a Nevada Democrat, also said he envisions the outlines of a compromise with the Bush administration about testimony of White House officials in a probe of the firings that would allow some administration officials to testify in private without sworn testimony, as long as the deal doesn't involve Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rove.

``Certainly, Karl Rove, with his resume, would have to be under oath,'' Reid, 67, said in an interview with Bloomberg TV's ``Political Capital with Al Hunt,'' scheduled to air this weekend. ``He simply in my opinion, and I think the majority of the American people, is not trustworthy.''

1. "not trustworthy"! LOL. He's completely trustworthy in lying. ....n/t

[dkofos]

2. Now that is the type of straight talk I like to hear. But I doubt it will

make the soundbite files on faux

[GCP]

3. Now the proof is out about his lying

Friday news dump about Gonzo being in on the discussions about the attorney firings - they can't let him testify without putting him under oath - he's an out-and-out liar.

4. If Reid is making this statement , he has Rove nailed...

It's just a matter of time before he has Rove perjuring himself.

5. Not many NAZIs are.

Turd Blossom has helped set America back 50 years.
May America see him serve 50 in Leavenworth.

6. Rove will lie under oath. He has no loyalty to 'the people'.

[Solly Mack]

7. I agree. Rove'll lie regardless

and would need to be held accountable for it

[Canuckistanian]

9. He'll use the "Libby Defence"

Everyone else is lying except him.

[Hepburn]

8. Yep....

The word "trustworthy" and Rove? Kind of like at the total opposite ends of the spectrum.

Reid has his number, IMO.

10. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me

seventy-five hundred times, well, can't get fooled again.

Way to go, Harry. Glad you finally got it.

[paparush]

11. "..with is resume.." BWAH HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

Give em hell Harry!

[Cha]

12. And a Big Sweet...Give that Reid man

a gold star!

13. Reid's right

It's not just the Democrats on the streets that no longer trust this Admin. There's a growing number of people who voted them in who are wondering what the hell they've been up to.

14. That's great, but...

...I don't like this part: "he envisions the outlines of a compromise with the Bush administration about testimony of White House officials in a probe of the firings that would allow some administration officials to testify in private without sworn testimony"

Even if it does not include Rove, I say get them all under oath and let them testify in public.

[MGKrebs]

15. Yes. If Rove lies under oath, what will they use to accuse him with?

Private testimony of others not given under oath? They better have more than that.
