Gonzo: I Will Not Walk Away from the Problems I Created.

From TPMmuckraker:

Below is from Alberto Gonzales' opening statement for tomorrow's hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. It's from the section of his 26-page statement titled "Politicization of Hiring in the Department":

I believe very strongly that there is no place for political considerations in the hiring of our career employees or in the administration of justice. As such, the allegations of such activity have been troubling to hear. From my perspective, there are two options available in light of these allegations. I could walk away or I could devote my time, effort and energy to fix the problems. Since I have never been one to quit, I decided that the best course of action was to remain here and fix the problems. That is exactly what I am doing.

Now we are to believe an liar and criminal is going to clean up the mess he created. First it would take someone who knows law then the lawyer has to be honest. That alone rules out Gonzo. Like Connie, Gonzo is now in the job just for the pay check. Gonzo is like a bank robber who says he'll watch the bank until you come back.
