What is the REAL reason Democrats are going after Gonzales?

Recent information I’ve received leads me to believe that the reason Democrats want the head of Gonzales on a platter has nothing to do with the US attorney’s departures, but possibly because the results of several on-going investigations are about to have devastating implications for them.
Details are murky, and I’m not just throwing this out there (the source is solid), but it’s explains why such a big deal is being made out of nothing.
Intriguing considering this list of “Nay” votes at his confirmation hearing:
Akaka (D-HI)
Bayh (D-IN)
Biden (D-DE)
Bingaman (D-NM)
Boxer (D-CA)
Byrd (D-WV)
Cantwell (D-WA)
Carper (D-DE)
Clinton (D-NY)
Corzine (D-NJ)
Dayton (D-MN)
Dodd (D-CT)
Dorgan (D-ND)
Durbin (D-IL)
Feingold (D-WI)
Feinstein (D-CA)
Harkin (D-IA)
Jeffords (I-VT)
Johnson (D-SD)
Kennedy (D-MA)
Kerry (D-MA)
Kohl (D-WI)
Lautenberg (D-NJ)
Leahy (D-VT)
Levin (D-MI)
Lincoln (D-AR)
Mikulski (D-MD)
Murray (D-WA)
Obama (D-IL)
Reed (D-RI)
Reid (D-NV)
Rockefeller (D-WV)
Sarbanes (D-MD)
Schumer (D-NY)
Stabenow (D-MI)
Wyden (D-OR)
Readers of this blog should note the more familiar names, two of which were suspected of leaking classified info resulting in a probe in 2005.
Additionally, it also explains the MSM harping on the story as Gonzales also threatened to prosecute media types as well for the leaks.
It’s beginning to make sense.
More to come…..

1Lost in the kerfuffle about the Gonzales firings of 8 US Attorneys is the fact that Chuck Schumer has a hidden agenda:acting not only as the Senator from New York but as well as the Attorney General of the U.S. He pushed for the appointment of a Special Counsel, wrote at least 2 letters to the Attorney General resquesting updates on the investigation and demanding action on the CIA referral letter respecting the public identification of Plame,. He obtained from Deputy AG Comey the promise to appoint a special counsel and looked the other way when one was appointed outside the statutory and constitutional framework for such appointments.Both Comey and Fitzgerald were well-known to him at the time having worked in the Southern District of New York .
If he succeeds in forcing Gonzales to resign , Gonzales’ Deputy will undoubtedly take over. That deputy, McNulty, like Comey and Fitzgerald, also comes from the office of the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York and is close to Schumer and his former colleagues.
“McNulty doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut and his head down,” says a Republican staffer on the Senate Judiciary Committee. “The amount of harm he has done to his own reputation by impugning the reputations of others is remarkable.”
McNulty has made no secret within his circle of political allies that he has larger ambitions than being Gonzales’s deputy.
“If I had to guess, he views himself as the logical replacement for Gonzales should he be forced out,” says an acquaintance who says he’s familiar with McNulty’s thinking. “You have Schumer calling for Gonzales to resign, and who’s close to Schumer? Former DAG Jim Comey and [special prosecutor and U.S. Attorney] Pat Fitzgerald. Both of them are close to McNulty, and if you look at who got pushed out, they’re USAs who weren’t part of the Comey/Fitzgerald/McNulty crowd.”
