Welcome to Gonzales Watch - Blawging the Ex-Attorney General

Since this blogger’s post yesterday about Alberto Gonzales finally having gotten a job as an assistant to the Special Master in a patent prosecution case in Texas’ Eastern District, it seemed only right to share documents filed in the case.

You can take a gander at some of the Datatreasury Corp. v. Wells Fargo & Co., et al. legal filings on Docstoc, a nifty document sharing community that’s a lot like Scribd.

On June 6, 2008, Judge David Folsom ordered that:

The Special Master will request the assistance in this case of former Texas Supreme Court Justice and former Attorney General of The United States, Alberto R Gonzales. Judge David Folsom has informed the Special Master that he has no objection to Mr. Gonzales’ assistance in this case, and believes he can provide valuable assistance to the Special Master in carrying out his duties. If any party objects to Mr. Gonzales providing assistance to the Special Master, they are to file and serve any objection within 10 days of this order. Signed by Lay[ne] R Phillips, Special Master on 6/6/08. (mpv, )

Nine months after his nasty departure from the Justice Department, sprinting like a Texas jackrabbit from Capitol Hill back to Texas, disgraced former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales finally found a job.

According to Bloomberg, Gonzales landed a job as a special master in a Texas patent case: DataTreasury Corp. v. Wells Fargo & Co., 05cv291, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Texas (Marshall).
