Comment Of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.),
Chairman, Senate Judiciary Committee,
On Comments Of Attorney General Michael Mukasey
To The American Bar Association
August 12, 2008

 

“Attorney General Mukasey’s blanket conclusions appear premature based on the facts and evidence that congressional investigators and the Inspector General have uncovered so far.  The White House stonewalling continues, with aides refusing to comply with congressional subpoenas and testify about their role in the politicization of the Department of Justice.  The Attorney General, the nation’s top law enforcement officer, seems intent on insulating this administration from accountability.  We must continue to pursue the truth and facts, and hold any wrongdoers accountable.”
