Gonzales has no ‘regret’ over pressuring a sick Ashcroft.
Gonzales has no ‘regret’ over pressuring a sick Ashcroft.

In a closed-door meeting today, the House Intelligence Committee questioned Attorney General Alberto Gonzales about the “reasons behind Gonzales’ controversial 2004 visit to the hospital bedside of John Ashcroft, reportedly to pressure the ailing attorney general to endorse Bush’s surveillance program.” According to chairman Silvestre Reyes (D-TV), “Gonzales did not express any regret.”

5. Gonzo tried to pressure an AG who was not the acting AG
to sign onto an Illegal Spying Program. After he was turned down by the acting AG he tried to go around that person and the Law. Isn't that a crime of some sort?

He admits this and shrugs, so what!

a few weeks after that dispicable Asscorft visit? Note: Every vioalation of the FISA Law is a Felony.
