Still no new documents to surface.. We may hear today or tomorrow. But, it sounds real bad for White House...
U.S. News gives a taste of what's to come:
...one day after Justice Department Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty testified on Capitol Hill about the reasons why eight U.S. attorneys were fired summarily, a Justice Department spokesman, Brian Roehrkasse -- on travel abroad with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales -- sent an E-mail to McNulty saying Gonzales was unhappy with McNulty's testimony regarding why U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins of Arkansas had been let go.
That email, U.S News reports, is "causing the most concern" at the Justice Department as they ready to turn over thousands more.
Update: An update to the post adds some detail: "In the E-mail to McNulty, Roehrkasse said the attorney general disagreed with his characterization of Cummins's firing, because Gonzales believed that it was at least in part performance related."
Note: A Justice Department official also laments to U.S. News amidst the chaos of collecting hundreds and hundreds of documents: "You have no idea ... how bad it is here." I think that's another way of saying that you shouldn't hold your breath for the timely delivery of those documents tonight.
IMHO it sounds like McNulty may be the first to get the boot.
Justice League Bloggers:
Who do you think will get the boot first: McNulty or Gonzo?
