Gonzales Press Conference Wrap-Up

Josh Marshall nails it in one line:

Gonzales: I'm going to get to the bottom of what Harriet and I did.

Kevin Drum says Gonzo is toast. So too does Carpetbagger. Aravosis thinks this is more about avoiding legal jeopardy than keeping his job.

I particularly like this explanation:

“My pledge to the American people is to find out what went wrong here,” he said. “As we can all imagine, in an organization of 110,000 people, I am not aware of every bit of information that passes through the halls of justice, nor am I aware of all decisions.”

With 110,000 people to monitor, how could he possibly keep track of the activities of his Chief of Staff?

"Mistakes were made." God how I love the passive voice.
