[Sosfbay-discuss] Gonzales must go

[Wes Rolley]

The Washington Post has released yet another portion of the Gonzales 
story.  Now, Gonzales Chief of Staff Sampson has resigned.   Sampson, 
Scooter Libby.  How many Chiefs of Staff will be sacrificed to save 
their bosses? 

Peel away the protection and let's see what a true investigation into 
Karl Rove and Co. will discover.

*Firings Had Genesis in White House
*Ex-Counsel Miers First Suggested Dismissing Prosecutors 2 Years Ago, 
Documents Show

The White House suggested two years ago that the Justice Department fire 
all 93 U.S. attorneys, a proposal that eventually resulted in the 
dismissals of eight prosecutors last year, according to e-mails and 
internal documents that the administration will provide to Congress today.

The dismissals took place after President Bush told Attorney General 
Alberto R. Gonzales in October that he had received complaints that some 
prosecutors had not energetically pursued voter-fraud investigations, 
according to a White House spokeswoman.

Gonzales approved the idea of firing a smaller group of U.S. attorneys 
shortly after taking office in February 2005. The aide in charge of the 
dismissals -- his chief of staff, D. Kyle Sampson -- resigned yesterday, 
officials said, after acknowledging that he did not tell key Justice 
officials about the extent of his communications with the White House, 
leading them to provide incomplete information to Congress.
