Kevin Drum writes about the news that there were More Than Eight US Attorneys on "the list".
"But, you know, a whole bunch of DOJ employees, up to and including the Attorney General, have testified repeatedly under oath about this whole process, and with their hands on a Bible they've all managed to forget to testify that there were a couple dozen people who flitted on and off the purge list over the course of a year."
"So: back to the witness stand for all of them! They do work for the Department of Justice, after all. It seems like they could use a wee reminder of what "the whole truth" actually means."
I remember hearing Pat Leahy ask either Gonzales or Sampson for the names of US Attorneys that were on the list but then removed. I remember because Arlen Specter was concerned about smearing their names publicly. I believe the witness was supposed to get back to the committee with the names after the public hearing. Guess it didn't happen.
