Alberto Gonzalez Is Possessed By A Clowntard
Alberto Gonzalez testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. I now know why someone decided to put the work fucking in the middle of the word unbelievable. It was truly unfuckingbelievable. Many idiots have served in high-level positions in our government over the years, but I think we have finally found the dumbest man out of all those idiots.
Gonzalez lied, denied and babbled his way through the questioning. It would be considered a disgraceful performance for a plumber. As Attorney General of the United States it was so pathetic that he should have gone home, put a shotgun between his teeth and pulled the trigger. No one would have blamed him.
Gonzalez acted like a man who is not in charge of the Justice Department with many of the questions he answered. For example, when Senator Whitehouse expressed great concern that the Vice President was being informed about Department of Justice investigations.
Whitehouse: What on earth business does the OVP have [with respect to] ongoing investigations at DOJ?
Gonzalez: Good question.
Yes! Its a great fucking question and you are actually in charge of the department, which means you are the man responsible. That means youre supposed to take responsibility and answer it. If you dont take responsibility, then you should come up with a clever answer or a smart, lawyer-like denial of some sort. What you should not say is; Good question, or Hey, thats nifty, or How about that? or "Boo Ya!" It makes me, an American, feel a deep horror that someone as stupid as you could be in charge of the Department of Justice.
That was just one of the many idiotic moments provided by the Attorney General. Here the clown went mano-a-mano with Senator Schumer.
Nice going, fuckface. You just broke the law. Gonzalez did not assert privilege, he did not say he could not remember, he just refused to answer the question. The Attorney General of the United States just broke the law.
Contempt of Congress is defined in statute, 2 U.S.C.A. § 192, enacted in 1938, which states that any person who is summoned before Congress who "willfully makes default, or who, having appeared, refuses to answer any question pertinent to the question under inquiry" shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a maximum $1,000 fine and 12 month imprisonment.
Anyone see a problem with the AG blatantly breaking the law? What about just being an idiot?
FEINSTEIN: Oh, no -- total. How many names have you approved for firing?
GONZALES: You mean total, for cause, not for cause? I'd have to get back to you on that.
FEINSTEIN: There were seven on December 7.
GONZALES: Seven on December 7.
FEINSTEIN: We're now up to nine that we know about. How many -- this is important -- how many U.S. attorneys did you approve to be summarily fired?
GONZALES: Senator, there may have been others. I would be happy to get back to you with that kind of information about who has left. But I don't know the answer to your question. But I can certainly find out.
FEINSTEIN: You don't know, after all we've been through, the hearing after hearing after hearing?
Nope. The US Attorney scandal broke in March but Gonzalez still has not done any research to find out why he fired the people he fired. He should sit himself down and ask himself some questions because he is making himself look like an idiot. At the very least he should call himself to check in and catch up.
Gonzalez was also caught in a blatant lie when he was questioned about an emergency meeting with Congressional leaders, known as the "Gang of 8," on March 10, 2004. Gonzalez was counsel to Bush at the time and briefed the Gang of 8 about the warrantless eavesdropping program. But on Tuesday, Gonzalez repeatedly claimed he did not discuss the surveillance program in the meeting. Instead, he says the meeting was about another intelligence program that he cant talk about. A super-duper secret program. It's so secret, he might not even have told himself.
"The dissent related to other intelligence activities," Gonzales testified at Tuesday's hearing. "The dissent was not about the terrorist surveillance program."
"Not the TSP?" responded Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y. "Come on. If you say it's about other, that implies not. Now say it or not."
"It was not," Gonzales answered. "It was about other intelligence activities."
Man, that would be a great story if it were true. So far, "Gang of 8" members Senator Jay Rockefeller, Senator Tom Daschle, Representative Jane Harmon and Representative Nancy Pelosi have all stated that Gonzalezs claim is false. All four say Gonzalez only spoke of the surveillance program and a memo from the national intelligence directors office supports their claim.
A four-page memo from the national intelligence director's office shows that the White House briefing with the eight lawmakers on March 10, 2004, was about the terror surveillance program, or TSP.
The memo, dated May 17, 2006, and addressed to then-House Speaker Dennis Hastert, details "the classification of the dates, locations, and names of members of Congress who attended briefings on the Terrorist Surveillance Program," wrote then-Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte.
So, on one side, four Congressional lawmakers who are supported by an intelligence document, and on the other side, a complete idiot. I'm going with the latter. It's not like it's the first time that Alberto lied to Congress. Just two weeks ago, Gonzalez was caught lying about his knowledge of the FBI abusing anti-terrorism laws.
As he sought to renew the USA Patriot Act two years ago, Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales assured lawmakers that the FBI had not abused its potent new terrorism-fighting powers. There has not been one verified case of civil liberties abuse, Gonzales told senators on April 27, 2005.
Six days earlier, the FBI sent Gonzales a copy of a report that said its agents had obtained personal information that they were not entitled to have. It was one of at least half a dozen reports of legal or procedural violations that Gonzales received in the three months before he made his statement to the Senate intelligence committee, according to internal FBI documents released under the Freedom of Information Act.
For a lawyer to behave in such a manner is astounding. It is incomprehensible for the Attorney General. There are two reasons Bush would keep this complete and total moron on the job. Either he wants someone who comes across as more pathetic than he is, or he cant let Gonzalez go because of all the dirty secrets he is hiding. Congress should impeach Gonzalez, convict him of contempt and he should be disbarred.
