The New York Times reports on a meeting in Chicago hosted by Patrick Fitzgerald:
Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales endured blunt criticism Tuesday from federal prosecutors who questioned the firings of eight United States attorneys, complained that the dismissals had undermined morale and expressed broader grievances about his leadership…
Several of the prosecutors said the dismissals caused them to wonder about their own standing and distracted their employees, according to one person familiar with the discussions.

Now the only person who trust Al Gonzales is George W. Bush. I was so proud of the DOJ lawyers for supporting each other they make Americans have trust in the DOJ.

The interview on NBC and the memos said it all, he lied under oath.
Glad that the U.S. Attorneys either fired or current employed are banning together to speak out.
