Gonazles' response when this was revealed by Sen. Whitehouse was:
"I do recall being concerned about that as White House counsel.”
If Congress hadnt "milked it," it is unlikely that this would have surfaced. I obviously think this is more serious than you or Gonzales (who, although "concerned", hasnt done anything about it since moving from WH counsel to AG).
As far as my priorities list...I would have a list of "legislative priorities" and a list of "oversight" priorities, recognizing that Congress can and should do both. Oversight of the DOJ to ensure that our chief law enforcement agency is acting competently and credibly and without undue political influence would certainly be among my top 100 "oversight" priorities.
