Why can't Gonzo be charged with Perjury?
Is it prohibited by the Busholini Regime?

1. Because he has all the dirt on Bush locked in a safe deposit
box, with copies at his lawyers.

5. Nope, he would be recused obviously and then maybe we would get down to...
serious business with the DOJ... We might find that we still have some great career people left in this department, that would be very eager to indict/convict/jail this POS...

21. Hire a staff to impeach Alberto, use the evidence gathered
to follow up with criminal charges.

a career guy with integrity?

8. If he perjured himself before Congress, Congress has the authority to charge him.
Someone tell you he CAN'T be charged with perjury?

10. I know "Black" will be able to correct me if I'm wrong, but I would also think...
that Gonzo could be tried by the same committee that has been interviewing him of late... ie: Senator Lehey and fellow Senators on the Judiciary committee!

15. Thanks billyoc. I knew who it was but not all the specific
charges. My post title was somewhat sarcastic. I will be real disappointed if Gonzo is not charged in Sept. I don't except any Impeachment of anyone in the Regime. The Dems don't have the spine for that.

Perjury aint what it used to be.

That's true but he will be OUT of the AG job!
If he is CHARGED with a federal crime even Shrub wouldn't keep him in the AG job!

16. Didn't you get the memo?
It's ok for them to do it, even in the Oval Office.

22. Well, the AP story pointed out the discrepancies in his testimony BEFORE the time expired for him to
make corrections to his official statements.

A special prosecutor could nail his ass if they could get WH docs, though, to prove their case.

25. As on KO, Leahy is referring the matter
for possible appointment of a special prosecutor or is at least threatening to.
