Pressure Building On Politically Moltivated Attorney General Alberto Gonzales Over Prosecutor Firings

It was only a matter of time before the corrupt politically moltivated office of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales would begin to destroy itself. Now with the highly questionable firings of some Federal prosecutors who apparently did not go along with Gonzales and White House pressures to bring charges against a number of Democrats right before last November's elections is beginning to break into a big scandal.

Rather than do his job as an impartial and fair Attorney General, Gonzales has always been about strict partisanship and political ideology. If some prosecutors did not bring charges against some politicians, it might well have been that they were simply unethical in their practices rather than illegal. When Gonzales uses his office as some sort of Republican dirty tricks committtee to bring politically moltivated charges against political opponents this is a form of corruption of his office of the worst variety. The idea that ethical prosecutors should be fired for not participating in partisan Republican Party dirty tricks to aid the White House is simply outrageous.

Attorney General Gonzales has always represented right wing extremism during his tenure in office. He brought politically moltivated charges against a California adult website for example, merely to satisfy right wing pressures. Two young people in their 20's face up to 50 years in prison and millions in fines to satisfy Gonzales' bloodlust to satisfy the far right of his partty. And his previous excuses to justify torture of some detainees is yet another example that Gonzales lacks the moral and ethical makings to be an honest and ethical Attorney General.

Both Democrats and Republicans who vote to confirm Gonzales in the first place are owing some blame. They knew he was no good, but voted to confirm him anyway. In the wake of this scandal it's about time that Gonzales resign and a ethical Attorney General be named. Despite his screwy politics, often more moltivated by fundamentalist religion than by a reral rule of law, even previous Attorney General John Ashcroft displayed more ethics than Gonzales. But the Attorney General's office has always been a weak link in many Republican administrations with the awful John Mitchell and Edwin Meese as two bad examples.
