Robert D. Novak: Dems go after Attorney General Gonzales
By ROBERT D. NOVAK

House Democrats, led by Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel, are targeting Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and the Justice Department under him in a wide-ranging congressional investigation.

The point of the Democratic attack is dismissal of seven U.S. attorneys, all involved in probes of public corruption. On Thursday, Emanuel sent Gonzales his second letter demanding the appointment of Carol Lam, fired as U.S. attorney in San Diego, as an outside counsel to continue her pursuit of the Duke Cunningham case.

Emanuel’s targeting of Gonzales was accelerated Thursday by a report in The Washington Post that Sue Ellen Wooldridge, while an assistant attorney general, bought an expensive vacation home with oil lobbyist Don R. Duncan. Wooldridge approved rulings that benefited Duncan’s employer, ConocoPhillips.

gonzales needs to be relieved of his duties because he supports giving his country away. as for firing attornies, that really previleges belongs to him as any manager . If congress will not even discripline their members and trys to protect them then they should stay out of the hiring and firing of an agency. One of the items that congress forgot is that they supported Gonzales with very few issues. They can pressure to relieve the man but not get involved in his hiring and firing decisions.

that really previleges belongs to him as any manager

One minor problem is WE are the BOD and the Congress is our representative.

Rahm just might be a 'useful idiot.'
