- E-Mail Listed Possible G.O.P. Replacements for Attorneys
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  The Jan. 9, 2006, e-mail message, written by D. Kyle Sampson, who resigned last month as the top aide to Mr. Gonzales, identified five Bush administration officials, most of them Justice Department employees, whose names were sent to the White House for consideration as possible replacements for prosecutors slated for dismissal.

- Gonzales aide Goodling resigns
  Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
  "I am hereby submitting my resignation to the office of attorney general," Monica M. Goodling said in a three-sentence letter. There was no immediate reason given for her departure, but Goodling's refusal to face Congress intensified a controversy that threatens Gonzales' job.

- The anti-democratic agenda behind the US attorney firings
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  It is becoming increasingly clear that the firing of eight US attorneys was part of an illegal conspiracy whose principle aim was to maintain Republican power by suppressing the votes of working class and minority voters and using trumped-up voter-fraud prosecutions to manipulate elections and reverse close ones that went to the Democrats.

- Gonzales keeps to himself, even in adversity
  Posted by Jeff from Kansascity
  A very detailed biographical sketch of the pro-torture attorney general Gonzales: "In January 2000, while Gonzales sat on the Texas Supreme Court, his sister Theresa and an accomplice were arrested in a Houston-area drug bust in which police seized 40 grams of cocaine, nearly a pound of marijuana, more than $3,000 in cash, an assault rifle, a sawed off shotgun and a .50 caliber handgun, plus several hundred rounds of ammunition." Lots more inside.

- Gonzales and the Ken Lay defence
  Posted by SoxFirst
  No surprises that US attorney-general Alberto Gonzales is using the Ken Lay defence and pleading ignorance. After all, he used to be Enron’s lawyer. But under Sarbanes-Oxley, CEOs can’t use that defence. It doesn’t apply to the man in charge of prosecuting them

Will White House sacrifice Gonzales to save Rove?

I think if Goodling gets immunity, Gonzales is likely to resign.
