During a panel discussion on the US attorney purge scandal, CNN legal analyst Jeffery Toobin says that the bottom line from Gonzales is that the blame for the US attorney firings lies with Harriet Miers.
"He said, basically, when President Bush started his second term, Harriet Miers called and said maybe we should replace all 93 US attorneys.
Gonzales said no, but maybe we should review whether all of them should continue serving," says Toobin. "At that point he says he got periodic updates but essentially knew nothing about who was going to be fired or why they were going to be fired, and that's his explanation."
