KO reports breaking --AP Has Obtained Intel Report Proves Gonzo Lied Under Oath! LINK

"WASHINGTON (AP) — Documents indicate eight congressional leaders were briefed about the Bush administration's terrorist surveillance program on the eve of its expiration in 2004, contradicting sworn Senate testimony this week by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
The documents, obtained by The Associated Press, come as senators consider whether a perjury investigation should be opened into conflicting accounts about the program and a dramatic March 2004 confrontation leading up to its potentially illegal reauthorization.

A Gonzales spokesman maintained Wednesday that the attorney general stands by his testimony.

At a heated Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday, Gonzales repeatedly testified that the issue at hand was not about the terrorist surveillance program, which allowed the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on suspects in the United States without receiving court approval.


HEARING: Senate panel questions Gonzales' credibility

Instead, Gonzales said, the emergency meetings on March 10, 2004, focused on an intelligence program that he would not describe."

He just reported that the AP has announced in the last hour they obtained a 4 page intel report that proves Gonzo lied under oath about the Terrorist Surveillance Program yesterday before the SJC.

Gonzo in big trouble.

... as the reason for the Gonzo hospital visit with Ashcroft, directly contradicting the sworn testimony Gonzo gave yesterday to the SJC.

Oh man. I sure hope he likes hearing the word "Perjury" a lot.

just in case he misspoke...lol

One of many.

AP of course. They shouldn't have that report. It's executive priviledged...

the sun. When their lips move they lie. You cannot be a rep-pubic-rat unless you are willing to be a liar. It's a prerequestit to being a re-pubic-rat. :dem:

Gonzo would resign and invoke the 5th Amendment Privilege rather than answer any more questions.

Of course in that case, 'Fredo' would want to stay away from small planes, tall buildings, and offers to go on fishing trips.

:evilgrin:

company with a tad more discretion. Hey... he's experienced, let the pubs run him in 2008.

That's all that matters, if they continue to roll over then this great experiment called America is dead.

country..

and quit falling for the propaganda.. the congress and senate are being overthrown bo obstructionists Thugs then spinning it to try to make it look like it is the democrats that are the problem.. but then again democrats like you are the problem spewing your cynicism, unless you are troll then you would just be doing your job..

Chimp will just have the DoJ do nothing or pre-emptively pardon him or just ignore any charges.

... and Gonzo could definitely be disbarred as a lawyer for lying under oath.

This is way beyond mere confusion and inadvertence. He intentionally lied. A crime.

We don't usually allow the criminals to make decisions on which other criminals will be prosecuted.

"After he became president in January 1969, Nixon appointed Mitchell attorney general. Mitchell remained in office from 1969 until he resigned in 1972 to manage President Nixon's successful reelection campaign.

the smirk right off his sorry puss!



Hey Alberto! Prison orange really brings out your eyes!

get over it.

and legal stuff took for ever especially if the other side decided to play the drag it out game..

the congress is doing more this year than the the last both terms of repugNuts

so.. get over it cynic, cynicism is lazy thinking, so you cant judge people who are actually thinking and doing something.. wake up and get busy

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

No way he will ever be fired like he should be.

You know Gonzo is not going to answer any further questions under oath when charged with blatantly lying under oath to Congress AND the evidence he lied has already been publicized.

It is the threat of impeachment that caused Nixon to resign.

THe same would likely occur here with a contingent of Congressional Repubs paying Bush a visit and explaining they don't want to play defense and obstruction on this one with reelections coming up.
They likely would tell Bush it is time for Gonzo to go, and if he does not it will draw Bush into an impeachment action of his own.

:rofl:

lying to the Senate is really in your face

there is obviously a Constitutional Crisis

REally?

For sure he's "in big trouble"?

Who got a spine?

WHO?

:hi:

No other AG would cover for their wrongdoing like Gonzo is doing.

"The dissent related to other intelligence activities," Gonzales testified at Tuesday's hearing. "The dissent was not about the terrorist surveillance program."

"Not the TSP?" responded Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y. "Come on. If you say it's about other, that implies not. Now say it or not."

"It was not," Gonzales answered. "It was about other intelligence activities."

Schumer, led him around by the nose and Gonzo didn't even realize where he was taking him. Gonzo's supposed to be an attorney, right? He's supposed to have been trained in such strategies.

Then somehow the AP gets the information on his perjury.

Someone is doing a heck-of-a-job, but it's not Gonzo.

Or any one of the people who worked with him and respected him as DNI, for that matter.

Bwahahahahaha! :rofl:

He was very specific yesterday in relating the information about this other intelligence program, not the Terrorists Surveillance Program.

What is he going to say? Oh right, there was no other intelligence surveillance program, I don't know where I got that idea. LOL

It is rare to have documentary proof that evidences a high public official lied under oath.

But it sure looks like that is what we have on our hands now....

Just saying:
Of all the wrongdoing in the Nixon administration, the "begining of the end" was not the Watergate break-in. It was the Saturday Night Massacre, ...

Wonder what the Friday dump will be?

:eyes: :kick:

wreck of Jeb Magruder?

Dem's seem to be getting a handle on correct procedures in dealing with the Bush Cabal.

Because that's what's about to happen.

he would preface each answer with; "The program which we are discussing..."

Maybe he's telling the truth. There is more than one administration program which is used to spy on Americans, and this is what the "8 congressional leaders" were briefed about.

:shrug:

No one knows exactly what was in the document that Gonzo took with him to Ashcroft's hospital room, and exactly what it would have authorized that Comey refused to sign off on.

If Ashcroft had signed that document, it could have authorized surveillance activities that the 'Gang of Eight' were never told about. It is possible that the story that this involved only the existing Terrorist Surveillance Program was a cover.

Gonzo's problem is that he said the 'Gang of EIght' knew it was about other intelligence surveillance activities and that they wanted Ashcroft to sign off on it. Certainly not true under any scenario.

Had to miss him tonight. :cry:

get Gonzo to swear an oath? That person must be shot, drawn and quartered, doused with gasoline, burned at the stake, and then shot again!!!

Repubs are not stepping to the forefront and defending the Gonzo in light of documentary evidence that proves he lied under oath?

I guess loyalty only goes so far.

Then book yourself.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!

Gonzo is a tool. Kinda pathetic, really. Why he would throw away a career and a law degree from friggin' HARVARD is beyond me.

But Bush...He is one creepy SOB! Makes me :puke:

It would not surprise me to learn that Repubs on the Hill 'leaked' the intel report that the AP got to force Bush's hand to get rid of Gonzo.

Repub Senators are certainly not looking forward to defending Gonzo, and it gives them leverage with Bush/Cheney to demand that he get rid of him.

:popcorn:

It's hard pulling myself from the Internets, so much good stuff to read!
