Gonzo plans to ‘tighten the leash’ on attorneys.

From Thinkprogress:

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales “recently proposed tightening the leash on the men and women who prosecute federal crimes across the nation. Gonzales described what he delicately calls ‘a more vigorous and a little bit more formal process’ for annually evaluating prosecutors. What that means, as he explained it, is hauling in every U.S. attorney for a meeting to hear, among other things, politicians’ beefs against the prosecutor.” The Chicago Tribune’s Andrew Zajac writes, “If that should happen, expect the fair-mindedness and independence Americans still count on from their Justice Department to slip.”

Hmmm.. I wonder who is holding Gonzo's leash????

Gonzo is following orders of Karl Rove and Dick Cheney. He has no idea of what he's doing and can't even lie his way out. Gonzo is given memo's as to what he is to do. As for tighten the leash of attorneys well if you don't follow the criminal orders of George W. Bush your fired. That goes for Judges too. Cheney is working on getting an Appeals Judge that is corrupt to handle Libby case. Paying a Judge off isn't illegal as is done all the time in California. Now some Judges can't be brought like Judge Walton.
