Comey's Testimony About The Gonzales/Ashcroft Hospital Exchange

This is shocking stuff. Ashcroft rises from his sick bed to say NO to Alberto Gonzales. It is pretty clear that Gonzales and Card were under a great deal of pressure when they went to the hospital. The initial call may have come from the President. Hummmmm, who could put that kind of pressure on Alberto Gonzales and Andy Card?

It is also clear that if the President hadn't relented that damn near all of the competent lawyers at the top of the DOJ and the FBI director would have walked rather than support the non-certified Domestic Surveillance Program Gonzales wanted certified. The President relented, but Ashcroft and Comey were replaced.
