Press Releases Contact: Brendan Daly/Nadeam Elshami 202-226-7616 For Immediate Release 08/27/2007 Pelosi: ‘Resignation of Attorney General Gonzales Is Long Overdue’
Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales:
“The resignation of Attorney General Gonzales is long overdue. The rampant politicization of federal law enforcement that occurred under his tenure seriously eroded public confidence in our justice system.
“The President must now restore credibility to the office of the Attorney General. Given the serious loss of public trust and the disarray at the Department of Justice, the American people must have absolute confidence in the integrity of the next Attorney General as the nation's chief law enforcement officer and as defender of our constitution independent of political influence. The President’s nominee must have the character and stature to command that confidence.
“The nominee must also pledge to cooperate with ongoing congressional oversight into the conduct of the White House in the politicization of federal law enforcement. Hearings on the nominee will provide Congress with another opportunity to examine the new, flawed FISA law and will aid in our efforts to improve it.”
I still wonder how they can say this kind of stuff with a straight face.
Nancy : STXU
Chuck another in the RAT column! Spineless pubs!
This whole affair is nothing compared to Waco, to Elian, to the OKC bombing...and the name Jamie Gorelick and the wall that allowed 9-11 to happen.
Nancy and Harry won’t let Karl be the next AG until he gives up the patents on his weather machine.
“The resignation of Attorney General Gonzales is long overdue.”
Uh, Nancy, YOUR resignation is WAY overdue. When can we expect it?
U-R..Keerect. Nancy..you are over-do..so give your
notice SAP...JK
Is this the same Nancy Pelosi who can’t force a corrupt Democrat crook (out of many corrupt Democrats) from the Democrat House?
William Jefferson is smiling today!
The Democrats should be thanking Gonzalez, not trashing him. Had he been doing his job, Berger, Wilson, Plame, McCarthy and many other Democrat hacks, traitors and criminals would be serving long prison sentences.
Dem #1: ‘Long overdue’
Dem #2: ‘Long overdue’
Dem #3: ‘Long overdue’
Dem #4: ‘Long overdue’

Independent thinkers, all
She’s right, she just has no idea why.
Considering that the most politicised administration ever, especially regarding law enforcement, was under Clinton.
“The rampant politicization of federal law enforcement that occurred under his tenure seriously eroded public confidence in our justice system.”
ORLY? I wish she wouldn’t take it upon herself to speak for me. My confidence eroded when she became Speaker.
Interesting turn of events...was the Attorney General unable to perform his duties under much scrutiny? How well can one perform their job when you have “the enemy within” looking over your shoulder and trying to ruin your life?
This is also why their approval ratings are in the toilet...spending all their time trying to ruin the Bush Administration.
Now lets see if this do nothing congress can actually work. Karl Rove and the AG are gone, no more bogeyman and scapegoats to try and appease the left wing nuts with.
