Welcome to Gonzales Watch - Blawging the Ex-Attorney General

Senator Arlen Specter (Rep. - Pennsylvania), the GOP’s Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, predicted that U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales will resign.

He made the prediction at the Committee’s Executive Business Meeting today.

The former district attorney explained that he has “a sense that when we finish our investigation, we may have the conclusion of the tenure of the attorney general…I think when our investigation is concluded, it’ll be clear even to the attorney general and the president that we’re looking at a dysfunctional department which is vital to the national welfare.”

Last month Specter grilled Gonzales when he testified before the Committee when the Attorney General attempted to explain his position and role in the firing of U.S. Atorneys.

The Vegas casinos must be taking bets and wagers on the ongoing question of whether Gonzales will resign, and if so when.
