There is extensive coverage at TMP Muckracker. The coverage consists of a series of posts starting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tpmmuckraker.com\/archives\/003756.php\">here<\/a>. You can get to succeeding posts by clicking the &#8220;next&#8221; link. Each posts contains a video. Here&#8217;s the first, in which both Leahy and Specter question Gonzales credibility. <\/p>\n<p>[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DWIxG-ww2Ms[\/youtube]<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t watched them all, something I intend to do after I hit the publish button on this post. But it seems clear that at this point Gonzales doesn&#8217;t care what they think. He is basically in their face because he knows that ultimately, there&#8217;s nothing they can do to him. After all, only the Justice Department can bring perjury charges against him, and he runs the Justice Department. He doesn&#8217;t even attempt to make his lies credible or his excuses defensible. The wonder is that he hasn&#8217;t just told the Senate that he won&#8217;t testify invoking the magic doctrine of executive privilege.<\/p>\n<p>There is something they can do, although I&#8217;m getting tired of typing the word. Impeach him too. There might actually be enough Republican votes to convict him.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, no posts yesterday because I was attending a meeting of the Charter Revision Commission about which more, perhaps, in the next few days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So many criminals, and always the same excuse: so little time.
