Dan Eggan at the Washington Post has a new example of Alberto Gonzales' misstatements, this time to a federal judge in Montana. Andrew Cohen at Bench Conference has the analysis.

A former member of Robert Kennedy's Organized Crime Strike Force weighs in. His last line is the best:

Ashcroft supermoralistically draped the body of the department's statue of justice to hide her contours; Gonzales amoralistically tore off her blindfold. Both diminished the prestige of an important government agency.

    An Unrelated Investigation (none / 0) (#1)

    ......The subpoena gives Gonzales a May 15 deadline. If he does not comply, Leahy said, he will be asked to appear before the panel to answer questions......

    ......Moreover, the action suggests Leahy is running out of patience with the White House and may be gearing up to issue additional subpoenas. ...

    ......Lawmakers believe the Justice Department has custody of many Rove e-mails through an unrelated investigation into whether anyone in the Bush administration leaked a CIA agent's identity after her husband disputed pre-war intelligence claims.
