Alberto Gonzales’ tenure as U.S. attorney general was tough to defend. The Brennan Center for Justice’s Andrew Cohen, during his time as CBS News’ chief legal analyst, wrote in 2007, “By any reasonable standard, the Gonzales Era at the Justice Department is void of almost all redemptive qualities.

didn’t G W MORON want this POS on scotus or was it an appeals court that he tried to put him on?

Sounds like the Bush family is sending their sycophants out to attack Trump while he’s down.

The bush family is completely evil.

There is definitely a plan afoot to keep the GOP divided and give cover to Biden’s supporters in the House in particular. As long as they hold out there will be no impeachment of the Biden Crime Family.

The press says this guy is bad because he wasn’t as bad as Reno, Holder, or Garland. Ashcroft was our last decent attorney general.

Substitute “GOPe” for the word, “Republicans” in the article. Gonzales was dogcrap, as was his NWO-master, Bush.
