Bye Bye Gonzales
Posted Aug. 27, 2007 – Another close friend and trusted confidant of the presidents is calling it quits. Attorney General Roberta Gonzales announced today he’s stepping down just days after the president’s senior advisor Karl Rove.
Gonzales and Rove are two of the president’s closest friends in his inner circle of confidants.
Gonzales has weathered the storm surrounding his roll in firing of U. S. Attorneys under scrutiny. The firings appeared to be politicaly motivated by the White House and carried out by the Justice Department. President Bush has shown unwavering support for Gonzales staying on the job, but today announced he had reluctantly accepted his resignation.
“It’s sad that we live in a time when a talented and honorable person like Alberto Gonzales is impeded from doing important work because his good name was dragged through the mud for political reasons,” Bush said.
So why is Gonzales leaving now?
Gonzales resignation comes as he finds himself faced with the possibility of purgery charges steaming from his testimony before Congress. He could also hope to draw less negative attention during the Bush administration’s final months in office. Regardless of the reason; Democrats were glad to hear the news.
Chair of the House Judiciary Committee Rep. John Conyers, (D-Mich.) said in a statement, “It is a sad day when the Attorney General of the United States resigns amid a cloud of suspicion that the system of justice has been manipulated for political purposes.”
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) Chairman of the Judiciary Committee said, “The troubling evidence revealed about this massive breach is a lesson to those in the future who hold these high offices, so that law enforcement is never subverted in this way again.”
But question could still be in Gonzales’ future. Leahy said he still wants some answers. “I hope the Attorney General’s decision will be a step toward getting to the truth about the level of political influence this White House,” he said.
A harsher tone came from the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). “Alberto Gonzales was never the right man for this job. He lacked independence, he lacked judgment, and he lacked the spine to say no to Karl Rove,” Reid said.
Now with Rove and Gonzales gone, Reid said, “Congress must get to the bottom of this mess and follow the facts where they lead, into the White House.”

Congressional Black Caucus Chairwoman Carolyn Kilpatrick (D-Mich.), said “We are grateful that Attorney General Gonzalez has decided to resign from his post as United States Attorney General. It is our hope that President Bush will nominate an Attorney General who will uphold the laws of our nation and the Constitution.”
Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings
“The allegations that have been raised against Attorney General Gonzales are very serious and have severely impaired the credibility and the appearance of impartiality in the Justice Department. Any system of law must not only ensure equality and impartiality, but also that there is not even an appearance of unfairness in the system.”
House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.)
“As a young civil rights leader in South Carolina in the 1960s, I had many run-ins and dealings with the U.S. Department of Justice but never in my lifetime have I witnessed a Justice Department more tarnished by misstatements, falsehoods, and disingenuous sentiments than Gonzales’ Justice Department. President Bush should seize on the resignation of Attorney General Gonzales as an opportunity to select not only an individual who is qualified on paper to serve as the nation’s top law enforcement official, but one who also has the moral standing to restore the prestige once associated with this distinguished position.”
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.)
“I am pleased that Mr. Gonzales has finally come to the realization that he could not properly serve this nation when so many doubted his veracity. As a member of the House Judiciary Committee, I was given the chance to directly question him and never found him to be forthcoming. It is now time to rebuild the Department of Justice to ensure it once again serves the purpose of independently protecting the rights and civil liberties of the American people.”
