Go, Go, Go. Go, Go, Go Gonzales

TPM points us to the WSJ where they have a story on the Renzi investigation. It looks pretty bad for Renzi but even worse for AG Gonzales. Here's the tidbit that jumped out at me:

The case could add fuel to the firestorm over the Bush administration's firing of federal prosecutors late last year. Paul Charlton, the U.S. Attorney who had been overseeing the case, was among those dismissed at the behest of the White House. A spokesman for Mr. Renzi dismissed as "a political hatchet job" the suggestion that Mr. Charlton's firing was connected to the probe of Mr. Renzi.

Let's face it. They fired eight - some were political favors for Rove/Cheney but, mostly, these were cover for getting rid of the problem children like Lam and Charlton who were exposing real corruption in Republican party.
