Would Gonzales have resigned if Republicans still controlled the Congress?

[bluestateguy]

I tend to think not.

The US Attorney's thing would have been a one week story and died because there would have been no oversight hearings. There would have been no oversight at all over anything, and he would still be Attorney General.

1. Of course not. As you point out, he's leaving because of the Democratic oversight

[onenote]

2. No. THere wouldn't have been hearings about the US Attorneys

and the politicization of the Justice Department. Comey wouldn't have testified about the bedside visit to Ashcroft.

For those who think that it makes no difference whether the Democrats control Congress or not, maybe they should consider this....

3. Are you kidding? He'd be prosecuting peace activists for opposing our invasion of Iran and Syria. nt

4. Would Congress called for hearings and investigations if still controlled by GOP?

The answer to that question is NO therefore no need for Gonzo to go bye-bye

[SoCalDem]

5. Nope. There would have been NO hearings

and democrats would have been pilloried if they dared to question anything.

6. Is this a trick question?

They would be calling gonzo "honorable" "distinguished" and all sorts of other bullshit - you know, just like bush did.

7. Would the R crime spree have happened if they had forseen oversight??

In DC, where up is down and lie is truth .....
