Welcome to Gonzales Watch - Blawging the Ex-Attorney General

Fine (a Harvard Law School graduate) confirmed that the Inspector General’s office and the Office of Professional Responsibility are investigating the acknowledgment by Monica Goodling under oath that Gonzales spoke with her about her ‘recollection’ of events in the U.S. Attorney firings.
