Former Ashcroft Spokesman: Gonzales Should Resign
By Paul Kiel - April 5, 2007, 11:06 AM

Now the calls for Alberto Gonzales' resignation are coming from veterans of Bush's own Justice Department. Here it's Mark Corallo, the Justice Department's chief spokesman from 2002 through 2005.

In a piece on Bush's loyalty to Gonzales, USA Today reports that Corallo thinks Gonzales should step down over "mismanagement" of the U.S. attorneys firings. As he put it, "Alberto Gonzales' loyalty to George Bush has got to trump George Bush's loyalty to Alberto Gonzales."

1. First the umbilical cord must be cut between Gonzales and Bush

...then let's see what Alberto does on his own

2. so there is a wedge between Corallo & Comstock?

Remember that Goodling and Griffin both are proteges of Barbara Comstock, having worked with her at the RNC's dirty tricks team and then followed her over to DoJ where she worked as Ashcroft's spokesperson, where Corallo also worked.

Comstock should be interviewed by Waxman. Her communications to DoJ employees regarding U.S. Attorneys should be subpoenaed. She could be running the purge, from outside.

4. Definitely Comstock should be subpoenaed nt

3. Hell no! Gonzales should not 'step down'

That would be way too easy and he would just scurry off to hide in some fat-cat Republicon law firm with no accountability or consequence.

Gonzales is the "king's tool" Let him face the committee, let him attempt to rescue his crediblity. He will perjure himself because he truly doesn't think he did anything wrong. He knows other people think he messed up, but his hubris and arrogance will sink him.. I want to witness that.

5. No, he should not resign

He should be rusticated to scenic Leavenworth Kansas for the next twenty five years or so.
