Prosecutorgate is not about Alberto Gonzales. It's about impeachment.

larry beinhart is thinking along the same lines i am... this is the endgame... for myself, i'm hoping that, when the floodgates open and the truth comes pouring out, it will be of such shocking magnitude that there will be no option but for bush and his minions to resign... barring that, what will be revealed will make impeachment and removal a foregone conclusion that will happen in short order...

In short order, we've already learned that:

* The reasons given for the firings were false.

* Gonzales lied (including under oath).

* The culture of present Justice Department makes no distinction between partisan politics and public policy, indeed they believe they should be one and the same.

* That people at the Justice Department were conscious they were not using the law as intended.

* The administration was pushing the Justice Department to help disenfranchise minority voters (under the doublespeak name 'voter fraud). Disenfranchising minority voters got Bush close enough in 2000 for the Supreme Court to toss him the election, it won him Ohio in 2004. Making sure black people (likely Democratic voters) don't vote is among the Republican Party's most vital programs. The opposite, getting more people to vote, from any walk of life, is presumably in the national interest.

* There is a pattern that the fired prosecutors were investigating important Republican office holders.

* The next person along the food chain wants to take the Fifth rather than testify.

* Two of Bush's closest advisors, Karl Rove and Harriet Miers, were involved.

* Out of another investigation, we have learned that when members of the administration wanted to do something that they knew was illegal or unethical, they used other computers for their e-mails.

The trail of testimony has already gone into the White House. It is a fantasy to think this took place without Bush's knowledge, involvement, and approval. The trail of breadcrumbs goes right down the hall and into the Oval Office. Prosecutorgate is not about Alberto Gonzales. It's about impeachment.

i just wish it was all happening faster... we've endured this criminal administration for over six years and the damage to our country has already been incalculable... i simply don't know how we can absorb the additional destruction of having them around until 20 january 2009...
