Larisa has her summary up on today's hearing

the top three...

1. Alberto Gonzales lied... he did not contradict, or confuse, or forget. He lied to the public and lied to Congress.

2. Kyle Sampson lied under oath and repeatedly (when transcript is out, take a gander). I find especially interesting his claims that over a 2 year period he kept only a folder which he purged regularly, leaving no trail of how he came to the decisions he did.

3. Kyle Sampson has a bad memory (see above live blogging), but decided to purge his documents over a 2 year period because he could still remember why he was firing attorneys.

she goes on to express amazement at sampson's unbelievable lack of both legal knowledge and legal experience... are we surprised...? political hacks do not need to demonstrate qualifications other than unswerving loyalty and the ability to take direction...
