Senate Press Conference Calling For Gonzales Special Prosecutor

By Nicole Belle — July 25, 2007

"The Attorney General took an oath to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Instead he tells the half-truth, the partial truth and everything but the truth. And he does it not once, not twice, but over and over and over again. His instinct is not to tell the truth but to dissemble and deceive."

UPDATE: In addition to the letter to Paul Clement, Solicitor General requesting a Special Prosecutor from outside the Justice Department, the plan includes subpoenaing Karl Rove as well. Let's see how well that plays in the White House. Will they ignore a Special Prosecutor's subpoena too?

UPDATE #2: Joining the dogpile, FBI Director Robert Mueller contradicts Gonzales' testimony.
