Alberto Gonzales resigns…effective Sept. 17, 2007 Update: Bush: “It’s sad;” Paul Clement will serve as acting AG
Bumped…Originally posted August 27, 2007 @ 08:20…
***
Update 11pm Eastern 8/27 : The Democrat probes will continue.
Update 11:52am Eastern. Bush is lauding Gonzales for his “integrity, decency, and principle.” “Trusted adviser and close friend…After months of unfair treatment that has created harmful distraction at the Justice Dept, Gonzales decided to [resign]…It’s sad that…his good name was dragged through the mud for political reasons…”
Paul Clement will be serving as acting AG “until a nominee has been confirmed by the Senate…one of the finest lawyers in America…”
Update 11:05am Eastern. Here’s the Gonzales vid. President Bush expected to comment separately at 11:50am.
Paul Mirengoff at Power Line: “I’ve never been a fan of Gonzales, but I can’t help feeling sorry for him. The ’scandal’ that led to his demise — the firing of the U.S. attorneys — appears to involve no wrongdoing on his part. Moreover, the underlying decisions and process appear to have been the product of the White House, not Gonzales. His defense of the decisions was hardly stellar, but if I’m correct, he was handicapped by the fact that they were not really his decisions. Gonzales’s only real offense seems to have been mediocrity. But mediocrity in an Attorney General is nothing new (think Janet Reno), and any blame for this occurrence properly attaches to the White House. Often the biggest favor a president can do for a friend is to not appoint him or her to very high office.”
***Press conference scheduled for 10:30am***
Update 10:33am Eastern. Yesterday I met with Pres. Bush to inform him of my decision to conclude my government service…effective as of Sept. 17, 2007…I have lived the American Dream…even my worst days were better than the best days of my father…thank you and God bless America…
Reporters shouting “Why are you leaving?”
Democrats rejoice. This one is just too rich:
“I strongly urge President Bush to nominate a new attorney general who will respect our laws and restore the integrity of the office.” — Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.”
Brit Hume: “He was a man almost without fans in Washington…he was, simply, a crony.”

The rumors were swirling over the weekend. Now, the New York Times reports:
Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, whose tenure has been marred by controversy and accusations of perjury before Congress, has resigned. A senior administration official said he would announce the decision later this morning in Washington.
Mr. Gonzales, who had rebuffed calls for his resignation, submitted his to President Bush by telephone on Friday, the official said. His decision was not immediately announced, the official added, until after the president invited him and his wife to lunch at his ranch near here.
Mr. Bush has not yet chosen a replacement but will not leave the position open long, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the Attorney General’s resignation had not yet been made public.
Mr. Bush had repeatedly stood by Mr. Gonzales, an old friend and colleague from Texas, even as he faced increasing scrutiny for his leadership of the Justice Department, including his role in the dismissals of nine United States attorneys late last year and questions about whether he testified truthfully about the National Security Agency’s surveillance programs.
“We’re watching a political exercise,” Mr. Bush said at a news conference this month, dismissing accusations that the Attorney General had stonewalled or misled a congressional inquiry. “I mean, this is a man who has testified, he’s sent thousands of papers up there. There’s no proof of wrong.”
Mr. Gonzales’s resignation is the latest in a series of high-level departures that has reshaped the end of Mr. Bush’s second term. Karl Rove, another of Mr. Bush’s close circle of aides from Texas, stepped down two weeks ago.
The official said that the decision was Mr. Gonzales’s and that the president accepted it grudgingly.
Back in May, I said I wouldn’t be shedding tears and my poll showed that neither would most of you:
For what it’s worth, I can’t say I’ll miss him. And neither will a majority of you. Remember the little online poll I put up about Gonzales before I took my short family vacation last week? Here are the results:
If the administration learned anything at all from the shamnesty debacle, DHS secretary Michael Chertoff would not be the reported leading candidate to replace Gonzales. Looks like they’ve learned nothing. If Chertoff replaces Gonzales, Allah wonders, who replaces Chertoff? Hey: Why not just go full-on open borders and put Mel Martinez in charge! Or how about…a head of lettuce?
If they want the best qualified, most experienced AG candidate who is serious about enforcing all of our laws, including our immigration laws, and who is best equipped to serve in a time of war, the choice would be obvious: John Ashcroft.
Not going to happen, though.
Solicitor General Paul Clement is also on the rumored short list as a temporary replacement.
I agree with Kathryn Lopez: Andy McCarthy would make a great AG. Another nomination from the comments section that I’d second: Kris Kobach.
Yes, we can dream.
CNN says Chertoff nomination is “likely.”
***
Meanwhile, idiocy continues at the Justice Department. Via the WashTimes:
The Justice Department is co-sponsoring a convention held by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) — an unindicted co-conspirator in an ongoing federal terrorist funding case — a move that is raising concerns among the Justice’s rank and file.
Justice lawyers have objected to the affiliation with ISNA, fearing it will undermine the case against the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development in Dallas.
“There is outrage among lawyers that the Department of Justice is funding a group named as a co-conspirator in a terrorist financing case,” said a Justice lawyer who spoke to The Washington Times on the condition of anonymity.
According to an e-mail from Susana Lorenzo-Giguere, acting deputy chief of the Voting Rights Division, the sponsorship will involve sending government lawyers to man a booth for the Labor Day weekend event in Illinois.
“This is an important outreach opportunity, and a chance to reach a community that is at once very much discriminated against, and very wary of the national government and its willingness to protect them,” Mrs. Lorenzo-Giguere said in an e-mail obtained by The Washington Times.
“It would be a great step forward to break through those barriers. And Chicago is lovely this time of year,” Mrs. Lorenzo-Giguere said.

Here’s a small example of the duties that have fallen by the wayside thanks to Gonzales’s incompetence and bungling of “Attorneygate.” Last month, Gonzales promised Sen. Jeff Sessions he would look into the deportation of criminal aliens last month. Think it’ll be a priority?
SESSIONS: Mr. Attorney General, with regard to some of the immigration questions that we’re facing, there’s so many matters that are within the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice. The effectiveness of our immigration enforcement policies depend on good policies within the Department of Justice.
And I was recently reminded of a serious problem we have with regard to aliens who have been convicted of crimes in the United States. Mr. Harley Lappin, director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, recently told us and this committee within the last year, I believe, that 27 percent of the federal prison population is foreign-born.
We have laws that I think authorize the removal from our country of persons who are convicted of crimes immediately upon the completion of their sentence, as I recall the statutes.
I would note the article by Michelle Malkin (ph) quoting some of the examples we’ve had here, where Mr. Adhahn was convicted of — relating to his involvement in the kidnapping and murder of 12-year- old Zina Linnik in Tacoma, Washington, on July 4th.
SESSIONS: He had been convicted, apparently, of incest in 1990 and had sexually assaulted his 16-year-old relative, got that pleaded down to second-degree rape.
Two years later, he was convicted of intimidation with a dangerous weapon, and the law calls for — says that anyone convicted of a weapons offense is deportable. But he wasn’t deported, and that’s how, apparently, this murder occurred.
Another instance was Mwenda Murithi, arrested 27 times without deportation before being arrested in the shooting death of a 13-year- old innocent bystander, Schanna Gayden, last month in Illinois.
So I guess I’m asking you about this whole policy, whether or not you have taken a lead to see that it’s carried out. Do you believe it should be systematically and regularly carried out? And if there are any statutory weaknesses, do you have any suggestions about how they should be improved?
GONZALES: I think it should be carried out.
I am aware that probably the level of cooperation that exists between the department and DHS on this issue is not as good as it should be, Senator.
What I would like to do is have the opportunity — maybe have a conversation with Secretary Chertoff — to see whether or not we can do something to improve the situation.
Legislation may not be necessary, but, obviously, it may turn out to be the case that we may need to have some help from Congress.
SESSIONS: As I understand, the Department of Homeland Security I.G. estimated last year that half of the 650,000 foreign-born inmates in prisons and jails won’t be removed because they say that, quote, “Does not have the resources to identify, detain and remove them.”
Is that true?
GONZALES: I’ve heard that as a possible complaint or challenge. That very well may be the case.
Again, what I’d like to do is have the opportunity to sit down with Secretary Chertoff. I have not spoken with the secretary about this particular issue. I would be happy to do so.
And if there is something that would be helpful from the Congress, I’d like to have the opportunity to talk to you about.
SESSIONS: Well, I hope that you would, because I think that’s a major issue here. People are concerned when we pass laws in Congress and then our law enforcement officials don’t enforce them and don’t execute them and leaving criminals in the United States in large numbers.
Now, I understand there are a number of prisons that do not participate in the institutional removal program. Do you think it would be beneficial to expand this program to all federal prisons?
GONZALES: I can see very good arguments why that would make sense. And I plan on speaking with Harley Lappin, the director, and see what the status is and the challenges that exist with respect to implementing in all the prisons.

While Alberto Gonzales has not been a particularly effective AG, it really bothers me that we allow the Democrats to drive individuals out of office.
Talk about a do nothing A. G., this guy was totaly inept.
Well, Dasher, while I agree with you on one hand, on the other, Gonzales and the Bush Admin allowed this to happen, since they fought back way to late, and way too poorly. Had they come out right at the beginning and slapped the hysterical libs around with facts, this whole thing might have gone away quickly.
Plus, Gonzo has been rather tepid as an attorney general. Heck, what is going on with $$$ Jefferson?
about 3 months too late if you ask me, but if Chertoff is heir apparent, I’m not sure it we’re going from bad to worse.
Was anyone really impressed with Gonzales in the first place? I agree that Ashcroft ‘got it’ a lot more than the others we’re hearing from.
Adios…..
Will the next guy prosecute Sandy Berger? I would love to see another Clintonista scandel right before the primary.
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. Yikes.
Nope, I won’t miss Gonzales either. But if his replacement ISN’T a responsible grown up that will support both the Constitution and a desire to WIN the war, I suspect that the last 18 months of the Bush Administration are going to be strained ones.
He’ll resign upon confirmation of his replacement! That will take how long??????? Like 18 months!!!
I nominate Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah). What say you?
Open-borders Orrin? You’ve got to be kidding me.
” Alberto Gonzales has not been a particularly effective AG”
The reason he was not effective is he has spent most of his time it seems going to Congressional hearings and Congress can do this to any AG.
John Ashcroft, where are you?
That picture of lettuce head Chertoff made me spit out my coffee! Haaaa Haaaaa
I nominate Kris Kobach. (I can dream, can’t I)
And somewhere out there Keith Olbermann (D) has an orgasm.
Like others I am not sad to see him go but at the same time I am getting tired of the looney tunes left dictating who stays and who goes …
As for recommendations for a replacement …
Tom Tancredo …
He would have about 18 months with the powers to actually do something about the border …
I don’t think he can get elected to the Presidency … and even if he did he would still have to deal with Congress to get anything done … and we all know that is a useless body of out of touch idiots …
Morning Michelle … have a great day all …
Hope Bush gets a short list of nominees from CAIR. We can’t discriminate against unindicted Muslim co-conspirators. Would be bad form.
Maybe Bill Clinton……could that keep Billary from becoming Prez?????
I think nobody would be more qualified for the job than Chertoff. In fact, I would rather have no one in the position than him. And I am quite certain that nothing could be better than the the work he would do.
[As Rome burns...]
I could get behind Tancredo but, Do you think they are going to put someone in there that will actually do something? I’m guessing no, just another wall-flower to pull the carpet over the dirt instead of sweeping up the mess and diposing of it properly. Geez I’ve turned into a pessimist. ick.
Gonzales was probably an ineffective AG and his tenure showed that maybe he wouldn’t have been a good choice as a Supreme Court Justice. Chertoff would be a disaster if chosen as a replacement as I think they fired the wrong person after Katrina.
That being said, the cause celibre’ that the Democrats chose to “oust” him was more politically motivated and bogus than anything Gonzales ever did. I hope Republicans are ever watchful and quick to pounce when it’s the Democratic administration who again fires 93 federally appointed prosecutors that serve at the pleasure of the President.
All those hearings ever did was to reinforce my extreme dislike for Patrick Leahy and Chuck Schumer.
“Leaker” Leahy and “Gloom and Doom” Schumer … what a pair that is …
ajmontana
Morning … I know what you mean … if Tancredo was put in there maybe he would at least enforce the current laws regarding immigration … ????
Good Morning, I think so dl……
Chalk up another win for the Democrat lie machine. I don’t like Alberto any more than anyone else, but seeing how he was so unjustly attacked, I would rather see a fight for the truth rather than another head offered to the enemy.
Business as usual for the “September 10″ set.
I wish our elected lawmakers would spend more of their time on domestic security and less time on job security.
Like prosecute killing while driving drunk?
Mary Jo Kopechne was unavailable for comment.
Yeah, like HE would know about respecting laws and the integrity of his office. Good luck to whoever Bush nominates to replace the AG.
Any chance we can resurrect Elliot Ness?
No Chertoff. He should be the one to step down. Ashcroft all the way.
Other than illegals, show me a community that doesn’t feel this way.
As the demographics of America change, we’ll see more and more people like Alberto Gonzales and extreme “por la raza todo” racists in positions of high power compromising our values of freedom and sovereignty with their cultural values.
Alberto Gonzales on habeas corpus
Alberto Gonzales on torture
I guess, we’re longing for the good ol’ days of Janet “Waco/Ruby Ridge” Reno?
I don’t recall Her being ravaged by a bunch of Rabid Dogs.
Would someone please lift the rock back up so Sen. Kennedy can crawl back under it.
What’s lame duck Bush to lose if his interim appointment is a fire breather that opens a RICO investigation of the DNC/MSM? I can dream can’t I?
I hope GW nominates a hig profile, middle of the road (or maybe a little bit left leaning) democrat.
That way, the nominating committee can either beat him up and be seen as attacking one of thier own by the centrist democratic base, or go soft on him and be seen as caving in to the administration by the far left.
Win Win.
And he/she’s only going to be in office for 16 months. Not enough time to do any real damage. Not near as much damage as a hillary administration is going to do.
I’m going to risk immediate chastisement here and say that who is or is not the U.S. attorney general is one of those issues political junkies and perhaps bloggers care about (see the reaction at memeorandum, for God’s sake), but most other people could not care less. Yes, the lame stream media will cover it, but it will be boring and no one will watch. Alberto Gonzales resigned? Alberto who? Oh, him. Who cares? So Bush will appoint someone else, either as a nominee or in recess, and Schumer and Kennedy and Reid and Pelosi will hate him, whoever he is, and still no one will be listening. If there are nomination hearings, the dems will piss and moan and the repubs will lie down, and still no one will be listening.
Let’s save our energy for illegal immigration, creeping sharia, the Iraq War, and the 2008 election. This is a waste of time. Don’t believe me? Go out on your street right now and ask 10 people who Alberto Gonzales is. I dare you.
“This resignation is not the end of the story,” Reid warned. “Congress must get to the bottom of this mess and follow the facts where they lead, into the White House.”
Those comments by Majority loser Harry Reid are the reason why Gonzales should have stayed.
Harry Reid is positive that scandal leads to the White House. Does he have evidence? No.
The demagoguic party won a round today.
First Scooter Libby, now this. The only way to deal with the left is scorched Earth. Compromising does not work.

Let’s see a little reciprocity from the Democrats here. Leahy, Shumer, and Notrildamus should tender their resignations for failing to do their jobs and wasting taxpayer money.
Rich. You realize he is not a Republican don’t you?
This news is no surprise. He is a Republican – right?
See a pattern here?
I nominate Sheriff Arpaio, if he were confirmed, law enforcement wouldn’t just be a whole lot better but a whole lot more fun too.
Sheriff Joe? God forbid that blowhard rises any farther above his level of incompetence. His mismanagement and legal missteps have cost Az taxpayers millions.
Only good thing about Joe is if Lohan, Richie, Hilton et.al. had gotten locally mandated 90 day minimums they would not have been turned away at the jail for lack of space. Joe would have thrown them in a tent with green bologna, pink underwear, no TV and (this time of year) 110 degree ambient temp.
“I nominate Sheriff Arpaio, if he were confirmed, law enforcement wouldn’t just be a whole lot better but a whole lot more fun too.”
What would be fun is seeing the Dems wet themselves in anxiety over that one…
And it would be fun to see the hypocracy of the left when a nominee has a true record of being tough on crime.
It seems like the majority here has one opinion in common on this subject: that while Gonzales may or may not have been worth a plug nickle as AG, the fact that he was driven out for political reasons smacks of the same bad taste as terrorists attacking and seeing their murderous behavor rewarded by cowering politicians giving them the motivation they need to do it again. Indeed, Reid is becoming the closest thing to to a political terrorist I can recall ever seeing. He appears to have one motivation and one motivation only: to hurt the other side. That’s just plain lousy statesmanship of the grossest kind – and isn’t what Americans want their tax dollars spent on. It occurs to me that Reid himself had some kind of minor scandal not too long ago. What was that? Maybe it’s time the blogosphere started glueing Reid’s reputation to that. Turnabout is fair play.

It’s about time the rest of the country got some real non-compromising law enforcement …
So if Chertoff becomes AG, does that mean Julie Myers moves in DHS?
/yikes
My pick for AG – Mark Levin!
“My pick for AG – Mark Levin!”
LOL…Can you imagine that office atmosphere?
” Get off the phone, ya big dope! “
I think Chertoff is being appointed to make sure that no substantive action is taken with regard to illegal immigration. I think it’s far worse than just not being the right person for the job.
On the bright side, he would no longer be in charge of Homeland Security. Unfortunately, Bush has a history of appointing friends, so who knows – could be Mel Martinez. Or brother Jeb.
I saw on another blog a proposal to nominate Karl Rove for AG. He could have some real fun during the Senate process and provide some side show relief by acting as a straight man for those clowns Leahy and Schumer. He’d have about 16 months to play cat and mouse with them.
Fox News:Gonzales lost confidense of congress.WHAT?!!Reno fired 80+fed.prosecuters.Killed children at Waco,and Ruby Ridge!She still had the Congess’confidence?!!
When will the GOP,start standing up to the bullying they get from the party of commie-puke/al-Qeada loving slugs?
Don’t let the door hit you in the @$$ on the way out Alberto
So, lemme’ see if I got this straight…
Gonsales “mishandled” the firing of eight U.S.Atorneys.
Reno “mishandled” Waco…Reno “mishandled” Ruby Ridge.
Gonsales gets hounded out of office by a bunch of Rabid Pigs.
Reno gets a pass.
disgusted and still steaming
Did anyone else notice that the NYT repeatedly referred to President Bush as “Mr. Bush”. The man is the President of the United States of America whether they like it or not!
Why is anybody surprised that Bush threw another of his subordinates under the bus to deflect criticism from himself? He’s done it again and again. OTOH, Gonzales was a bad choice from the first – he was everything that Hillary would want in an AG. Now Bush has a chance to set things right – Ann Coulter for AG!
I’ll second the Mark Levin nomination!
He would do some serious arse kicking!!!
Of course with Coulter by his side…the dynamic duo!!!!
Chertoff? I can’t believe that, at this stage of the game, Bush would be dumb enough to appoint Chertoff to AG. The Dems will have a field day with him in confirmation hearings. Granted it’s a short term appointment, but he has to at least appoint someone with an unimpeachable reacord. He’d be better off taking another shot at Harriet Myers.
Isn’t is time to come up with a new excuse?
from the Corner:
Ann Coulter may not make it through confirmation, but think how much fun the hearings would be, with her cutting wit answering the questions.
I was flabergasted when I saw the CNN story about Chertoff… and then I come here and see it again..
Did Bush learn NOTHING during the Shamenesty debacle? Does he really think that the country is that dumb? Or is it just Congress that has to be that dumb?
WoW.. err… I’m speechless.
If Bush thinks his poll numbers are down now, he’s about to see a complete no-confidence poll by anyone with common sense. Chertoff has been a total disaster, along with his partner in do-nothingness – Miers. DHS and ICE have been run like they’re hobbies and not vital to the security of the country….I dislike Gonzo for many reasons, but Chertoff and Miers are complete morons. If Chertoff is the nominee, this will completely confirm that the White House doesn’t give a rip for what the Repubs think or if they stand a chance at holding on to the office of POTUS in the coming election.
Forgot to add… I nominate Ted Olson, former Solicitor General. He must be making buckets of money in private practice but he’s the only one I can think of with the experience and ability to carry the sympathy vote through the confirmation hearings for AG. If they tromped on him too hard in the hearings they’d look like the eegits they really are. His wife, Barbara Olson, died on 9/11 on the flight into the Pentagon. She was a great mind as well.
Unfortunately, we may see Michael Chertoff replace Gonzales and Johnny Sutton replace Chertoff.
Bringing back John Ashcroft would make the dems/libs heads explode!
I agree Ted Olsen would be an ideal replacement.
If we really want to improve our defenses along the border, perhaps we can bring the 1985 Bears out of retirement.
Mr. Illegal Alien, Meet Ditka, Dent, Hampton and Singletary. Buddy Ryan would punch anybody who got in the way.

Q. Why do democrats hate Alberto Gonzales?
A. He is in the US legally.
At least Chertoff is a member of the Bar – Salad Bar that is.
Sorry, it’s Monday.
I earlier referred to Harry Reid as the Majority Loser of the Demagoguic Party.
http://blacktygrrrr.wordpress.com/2007/08/27/the-majority-loser-of-the-demagoguic-party/
Perhaps maybe Harry Reid can drive a stake through Mr Gonzales’s heart, and then spit on his grave. Hey, he does that with American soldiers, why not with a republican enemy?
Respectfully,
eric
Chertoff is even scared to enforce America’s laws and Julie can’t get enough of her publicity photo-ops…… America be damned! All the product of a White House that stopped caring for America right after election 2001. Americans were fooled by punch lines like ‘Bin Laden wanted dead or alive’ and ‘Either you are with us or with the terrorists’. Americans thought DHS would secure America from enemies like terrorists and illegal aliens. As we know, DHS and white house have only sent smoke-screens, while:
- hiring Karen Hughes.
- arms sale to Saudis, Pakistan.
- increased students visas to Saudis.
- armtwisting whoever it took to pass shamnesty.
- prosecuting border patrol agents.
- immunity to mexican drug pushers.
- chastizing patriotic minutemen.
- Forming NAU.
.. and more.
In a sane world Bush, would be impeached, prosecuted and jailed for treason, somewhere before his second term. Patriotic Americans should be disgusted but not surprised at any of the above. As they saying goes: “Fish starts to rot in the head”. The crunch time has come and gone. Only hope for this country, now remains with patriotic statesman, Tom Tancredo: http://www.teamtancredo.typepad.com
.. you know who sent that lettuce to Chertoff: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/06/28/tancredo-sends-head-of-lettuce-to-chertoff/
Congressman, R-CO, Tom Tancredo: http://www.teamtancredo.com/
America cannot go wrong with this patriotic statesman: http://www.teamtancredo.typepad.com
Bhishma, I’m a great fan of Tancredo and been supporting him since he tackled the problem on the borders. He’s been a thorn in the butt of the White House to the point he’s persona non grata. Can you imagine how hurtful that was, to be told not to darken the doors of the White House? That was the first clue to start finding out what the agenda really was……..so far,
Tancredo – 0
White House – 0
Ted the swimmer & his ilk – 100%

Exactly, 23Klady! White House is so corrupt that it will punish the good to enforce the evil, as was proved by:
- chastizing patriotic minutemen.
- prosecuting bordre patrol agents.
- immunity to mexican drug dealer.
- “sensitivity” training to FBI.
,….. and more.
When it came to destroying America with mexican criminals, Ted “the swimmer” and Bush joined hands. Go figure!
Now 2008 is the chance to not only change, but to reverse all this, by electing a patriot like Tom Tancredo, (God knows America needs one): http://www.teamtancredo.com/
Roadrunner poll: Should Chertoff replace Alberto Gonzales?
Over 25 thousand have voted so far ‘NO’ 73%
Final results 30 thousand votes in less than 24 hours. “NO” 73%
I just heard that Eric Holder would be ideal.
