Gonzo's memo.

Here is part of Gonzo's memo..

I posted Ashcroft's memo. Now we have Gonzo's memo to push Cheney in a more powerful role in the Justice Dept.

From Raw Story:

Whitehouse discussed the Gonzales memo as it relates to the so-called 'Ashcroft memo,' also provided by Senator Whitehouse's office, which allowed various Executive Office of the President staff to communicate with the Justice Department.

He contrasted both memos to a 1994 letter written by Clinton Attorney General Janet Reno that limited communications on pending cases to conversations between the White House Counsel or Deputy Counsel, the President or Vice President, and Attorney General or Deputy or Associate Attorney General.

Whitehouse noted that there was a difference between seven senior administration members and 'hundreds' of people being able to discuss Justice Department matters.

Memo granted Cheney clemency discussions authority

In addition to granting the staff of the Office of the Vice President the ability to communicate with the Justice Department on civil and criminal matters, Gonzales' May 2006 memo gave Cheney's staff the ability to raise another issue with the Justice Department: 'Presidential Clemency Matters.'

Whether or not Cheney's office has intervened in discussions relating to presidential clemency has been of interest to Congress in recent weeks.

Before the White House commuted the sentence of former Cheney Chief of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Reps. John Conyers (D-MI) and Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) of the House Judiciary Committee asked Cheney to recuse himself from internal White House deliberations on the subject.

White House spokesman Tony Snow did not rule out Cheney's engagement in the discussions on Libby when he discussed Bush's decision earlier in the month.
