McKay Says Gonzales Could Be Prosecuted

The former U.S. attorney for Western Washington John McKay said "The U.S. Inspector General may recommend criminal prosecution of departed Attorney General Alberto Gonzales at the conclusion of an investigation, possibly as early as next month."

"Gonzales 'lied about' reasons for the firings when questioned under oath in July by the Senate Judiciary Committee and now has hired a lawyer and is refusing to answer questions from the Inspector General, McKay said."

“When [the report] lands … it is going to be an extremely negative report on President Bush’s Justice Department,...There was a conspiracy to politicize the Justice Department, and they did not get away with it."
