Gonzo- "we'd just been advised by the CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP - go forward ANYWAY"
He is talking about the visit to Ashcroft's bedside after the meeting he says took place with the then "gang of eight" on March 10, 2004.
So, Gozales himself says that the Congressional leadership told "them"( the we in "we'd") to go ahead with the surveillance program even though they had been advised it WAS ILLEGAL by Comey.
The Congressional leadership said "Go ahead ANYWAY"
ANYWAY?!! ANYWAY?!!! Even though they all have been advised it's ILLEGAL!!!!!!!
1. How about it's time to get an independent Prosecutor
if anyone of us on DU would have lied not once, not twice, but three times...we would be under the jail.
Americans need to start throwing the rule of law right back in their damn faces. Gonzo if he weren't hiding under the coat tail of * would be right with us...but he is too stupid to understand that....
3. "Oh what tangled webs we weave, when we practice to deceive".
Looks like BushCo is getting caught up in its lies with Gonzo leading all the flies into the web being spun by Congress. :rofl:
I think we are going to have a terrorist attack soon or at least the perception of one with red alerts. They have to get themselves out of the trap being set for them somehow.
5. word of warning - Congressional leadership included Dems.

I imagine it would be very hard to be in that position. I remember one of them (I think it was Rockefeller) wrote something at the time to commemorate his mistrust but he was hampered by the whole "National Security" blanket.
