Alberto Gonzalez

Looking to find a way to explain away the Democratic victory in 2006, Karl Rove wanted to claim that "voter fraud" was an issue. To fabricate such a claim, Rove wanted the Justice Department to prosecute various Democrats. When certain prosecutors refused to bring bogus prosecutions, the White House fired them. This broke the cardinal rule against politicizing thje justice department and, thankfully, Congress and the press haven't let it go. Gonzalez is now taking the fall for it, but like every decision with this administration, this issue stems from Rove.

I couldn't sleep and I'm watching Bill Mahr. Who let Ben Affleck speak?
