Rep. Sanchez Questions Former AG Ashcroft

[daguzify]

Cool, now burn in hell you fascist prick and take the teabagged Americans with you.

[bobbytiger]

Let me be one of the first to congratulate Rep. Sanchez on the impending birth of her

bastard child.

What a great example you are...............

[rockdots]

Ashcroft: "I think it's my responsibility as his [the President's] attorney... attorneys are supposed to be able to talk to the people they serve...confidentially"

BZZZZT! The Attorney General's client is not the President, it is the American people. This guy is making a complete mockery of the Congress's oversight role. Supposedly Ashcroft had some serious misgivings about some of the things that were being done. He should show some cojones and tell what he knows.

[ninanwk69]

Why is Sanchez not questioning the torture tactics and murder of Americans and our allies while held as POW's. Ascrofts knowledge is protected under the rules of confidentiality.

[TECHKLEC]

Ashcroft would make an excellent used car sales manager.

[TECHKLEC]

If I bullshitted a judge like that I'd be locked up for contempt.

[timg455]

This reminds me of when bill clinton was getting questioned. Same answers over and over.

[quicksite]

wow... what a great closing tag clip after fading to white at end... nice, TPM [nameless editors]! who do a great job routinely.

[tpmtv]

Thanks!

[redwine666]

DUH DUH hear no evil speak no evil see no evil .. the eagle needs to bit him in the ass.

what a door knob and about as bright as a burned out light.

[washmytoes]

executive privelege bullshit. when he's out of office, i hope they go after him.

[scanada911]

whether you are in office or not it still stands if it pertains to an event while in office for which executive privilege would have applied.

[washmytoes]

thanks for clearing that up.

[chumashfalcon]

I listen to the whole thing on cspan radio, and this stooge Ashcroft stuck by the president and covered for cheney on every question. He got all pissy and started getting loud and going on about silly patriotic BS. Claiming that torturing gitmo prisoners is patriotic and constitutional

This guy is one sick cookie. And he thinks torture is A O K!

[pureuncut100]

John Ashcroft is so full of shit. "I cant answer hypotheticals" is the new bullshit phrase to get around a lot of important issues or answers.

[dafttool]

The Attorney General is NOT the president's attorney; he is the people's attorney. The president has a special council that serves as his attorney.

[funkmasterAlan]

True. The Attorney General is nonpartisan and is supposed to keep the Executive Branch in check. Whatever happened to checks and balances?

[asdffd]

"When the eagle soars......biotch."

[darkally]

Rep. Sanchez is laying down the law, time to impeach! No more hiding behind the President if he is in jail with his VP!

[lamouchemorte]

Yeah, it's all classified. These bastards will do and have done anything they wanted to. And nobody can stop them. USA! USA! USA!
