US Attorneys

The NYTimes calls for an investigation into the US Attorney in Wisconsin for a highly questionable preelection political prosecution.

(This Wisconsin case hints at the core of the US Attorney firings. If US Attorneys were fired for not prosecuting political cases, were some US Attorneys not fired because they did prosecute election affecting political cases?)

And, Newsweek has a piece questioning Gonzales' "preparations."

At a recent "prep" for a prospective Sunday talk-show interview, Gonzales's performance was so poor that top aides scrapped any live appearances..... Gonzales kept contradicting himself and "getting his timeline confused," said one participant ..... His advisers finally got "exasperated" with him, the source added. "He's not ready," Tasia Scolinos, Gonzales's public-affairs chief, told the A.G.'s top aides after the session was over.

Gonzales' performance in the current pre-testimony "preparation" sessions may decide whether he resigns.

(PS: someone in the White House is leaking against Gonzales.)
