Leahy To Schlozman: ‘You’re Trying To Break Gonzales’ Record’ Of Saying ‘I Don’t Recall’

Today before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Justice Department official Bradley Schlozman was supposed to testify on his role in the politicization of the Department’s Civil Rights Division and political cases he pursued against liberals while U.S. attorney in Missouri.

But instead of explaining his actions, Schlozman repeatedly claimed ignorance on the many scandals in which he’s been involved. At one point, committee members could no longer take it. Fed up, chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) held up the U.S. Attorneys’ Manual and said:

You know, I tend to think that perhaps you use this more as a doorstop than as something you actually had to follow. … I think you’re trying to break Attorney General Gonzales’ record of saying you “don’t recall” or you “don’t remember.” I’ve lost count of the number of times you’ve said that.

ThinkProgress has put together a compilation of Leahy’s statements and Schlozman’s many “I don’t recall” moments. Watch it at link~

Awesome. I'm telling you...this guy Bradley is a total schmuck! He says he's from Kansas.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road... that's it! He's a LOLLIPOP KID!

It's creepy how all of their voices sound the same. Eek!

There's a detailed record over at FDL, as well!!!:hi:

they're ALL gonna use it now! it's now officially a sham :grr:

screams and yells, but he sure can toss some real zingers! I heard Scholzman's voice quivering a bit after that shot! Good for the Senator!

That voice! God, it hurts my ears, not to mention what he says with that voice.

I got to watch most of it, including Todd Graves testimony. (Hottie!) Schlozman was just a little turd. At the end, Sheldon Whitehouse was so disgusted he just sat there staring at him.

chairman of each committee should immediately stop the hearing and inform them that any further non replies may result in jail time to refresh their memories or a loss of job due to inattention to details or unable to properly perform their jobs!
