Thunder Now; Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Follow

Ancient Native American legend that I just made up in celebration of the news from Spokane: when it thunders without rain, that’s the poetic justice gods rolling in the aisles with uncontrollable laughter.

The U.S. Inspector General may recommend criminal prosecution of departed Attorney General Alberto Gonzales at the conclusion of an investigation, possibly as early as next month, the fired former U.S. attorney for Western Washington told a Spokane audience Friday.
[…]
McKay said he was summoned to Washington, D.C., in June and questioned for eight hours about possible reasons for his firing by investigators with the Office of Inspector General, who will forward their final report to Congress.

“My best guess is it will be released sometime next month,’’ and likely will include recommendations for criminal prosecutions of Gonzales and maybe others, McKay said.

Gonzales “lied about” reasons for the firings when questioned under oath in July by the Senate Judiciary Committee and now has hired a lawyer and is refusing to answer questions from the Inspector General, McKay said.
[…]
“The chief law enforcement officer for the United States should not lie under oath,’’ McKay told the bar association.

Nor should he commit acts of serial rape on the Constitution. But, hey, Al Capone was only ever convicted of tax fraud. George Bush will probably never serve time for his crimes, though they be legion. So you take what you can get. Or whatever the poetic justice Gods decide to toss your way.

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving presidential tool, Buttercheeks! And Maria Gonzales is going to be even more fiercely proud of you, Alberto, isn’t she?
