The Gonzales E-Mails

Not everything gets leaked to the Washington Post.

(Page 4 of 5)

/p>

Hey Al,

Harriet forwarded me your last e-mail. Forget your gubernatorial race. It's all in my capable hands. You win 53-47. Don't ask me how. That's for me to know. As for the attorneys, I've decided, I mean, the president has decided to fire only seven of them. Too late in the game to fire them all. So pick the seven least reliable ones, and let me know.

K-man

Kyle,

Whew! White House says we're to fire only seven U.S. attorneys, not all of them. I asked if we could fire Janet Reno. He said no. :(Anyway, which seven do you think we should can? I was thinking, "Last hired, first fired."

Attorney General,

"Last hired, first fired" would mean firing the last Republicans we were able to confirm in the Senate before it turned Democrat. I would suggest that is counterproductive. We probably want to weed out the least loyal ones and fire them. I'll ask Mike for nominees and get back to you by morning.
