The Judiciary Committee holds an oversight hearing on the United States Department of Justice with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales testifying on the firing of US Attorneys. Chairman John Conyers questions the Attorney General.
"It is not an inappropriate conversation because nothing wrong was done. The process does not matter."
Then why is he being evasive about his own role in the matter? If nothing wrong was done don't you think it's strange that he doesn't want to take responsibility for those decisions?
Was there an inquiry when Clinton fired ALL 93 in one day? No! This is nothing but the Democrats trying to create a scandal. Actually, Gonzales can say, "Stuff" and claim executive privilege.
In a fascist nation you'd be correct. Since this nation isn't fascist all political decisions are and should be available for public inquiry. Sorry. Does this have anything to do with national security? No. He has to answer the questions. And he is being untruthful.
It does not matter WHO put WHO on the list WHEN or WHY. The President and the Attorney General can ask a US attorney to resign for ANY REASON they want. Gonzales told them HE made the decision, and WHY he made it. That is MORE than they are entitled to know.
Admittedly "paralyzed" and "distraught" from the burgeoning scandal, Goodling went to Gonzales late one Thursday or Friday evening in mid-March to at first ask for a transfer from his office, prompting what Goodling considered a potentially inappropriate conversation. Gonzales brought up the process leading up to the mass firings last year of U.S. attorneys.
almost all US attorneys resign or are replaced when a new president comes in.

There is nothing to tell. Nothing wrong was done. The President has the full authority to ask these people to resign for whatever reason.
