1. Thank you!

I was waiting for a transcript to see if I had heard Gonzales say what I thought he said re Carol Lam and I did hear him right:

DURBIN: In the situation with Carol Lam, did you have any conversations with Karl Rove about her fate?

GONZALES: Senator, I don't recall having any conversations with Mr. Rove about Ms. Lam in connection with this process.

Note the "in connection with this process" in his response.

A follow-up question at some future time should be, imo: What conversations DID you have with Mr. Rove about Ms. Lam that were not connected with this process???

Edited to add the page where this question and answer is located:

4. Leahy leads off with Rove and "so-called voter fraud." What does he know/have on Rove??

LEAHY: Thank you, Attorney General.

Your former chief of staff testified under oath about a conversation in which Karl Rove told you about complaints that former New Mexico U.S. Attorney David Iglesias and two other U.S. attorneys were not being aggressive enough against so-called voter fraud.

When did such a conversation between you and Karl Rove take place?

GONZALES: What I recall, Senator, is that there was a conversation where Mr. Rove mentioned to me concerns that he had heard about pursuing voter fraud, election fraud in three jurisdictions: New Mexico, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as I recall.

===============

Notice how Gonzales amends to "election fraud" after saying voter fraud. Are they backing away from the mythical problem?
