Yes, I agree, but someone advised Gonzalez to do what he did, before, during and after his appearance before Congress.

That advisor is probably no longer with the cabinet either ... know what I mean jelly bean?

I know exactly who you mean. I just don't understand why that approach was taken.(??) A piece of the puzzle is missing.

EDIT: I wonder how John Ashcroft plays into the mix?
