AP: Giuliani: Give Gonzales benefit of doubt
Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani, a former U.S. attorney in New York, said Thursday that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales should get “the benefit of the doubt” in the uproar over the firings of federal prosecutors.
“The president has addressed it,” Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, said. “The attorney general’s an honorable man. He’s a decent man. He should be given a chance to explain and everybody should sort of give him the benefit of the doubt and allow him to explain.”
Republicans and Democrats alike have questioned Gonzales’ leadership and some have called for him to resign as Congress investigates whether the firings of eight prosecutors over the past year were politically motivated.
The Alberto Gonzalez Flap is a tempest in a teapot and a pure political ploy to help the Democrats regain the White House in 2008.
On the O’Reilly Show on Fox this evening, Bill outlined the problems with three of the United States Attorneys who were fired.
The White House should take the hint and allow the AG to explain the circumstances of the dismissals.
Rudy is right.
