Is there a Alberto R. Gonzales Legal Escalation Trust?

There should be.

It's clear to me now. I'll never buy a Ford again, nor encourage anyone else to do so.

I know that I am dreaming, but I really, really want to see this guy's mug behind bars. It would make a pretty picture. Based on gonzo's conduct and this ford bozo, no wonder people hate lawyers. It really is pathetic. Real lawyers don't do what gonzo did, only party hacks that don't have a brain or morals.

whatever happend to monica goodling's legal trust fund that she was going to set up? never heard any more about it since her house testimony.

Is Fred Thompson going to chair this one too?

Why bother with a legal defense, when W will simply pardon him?

After all, Gonzales is a "good man." When Bush calls someone a "good man" it sounds to me like "good fella" a la the mafia.

To AC:

"Good man" is MBA-speak. Goes along with "right man for the job". Both phrases are intended to rebut any criticism of a hiring or promotion decision, without actually having to back it up with facts.

I'm sure that Texas death penalty public defenders are competent counsel. What's stopping Gonzales from hiring one of them?

Truth Withdrawal. (click my name)

"A Gonzo Trust" - a contradiction in terms if there ever was one!

Even if he gets a pardon for one thing, they can go after him for another. He may get decades of this - he's young enough.

Let's hope A-gag now is kept up nights, feeling a bit paranoid himself!

Why, just the other day, Gonzalez called W. While they were talking, AG didn't hear what the Decider said. So, he asked, "Pardon me?," - - shrub quickly responded, "Sure!!!! Soon as you need it, but after you're indicted.... Looks better on paper."

As I've said before, ain't no loyal Bushie going to jail, for anything, ever! The Pardon Pen will be going into meltdown mode over the next 14 months!

Criminal is, as criminal does (apologies to Forrest Gump!).

Equal justice under the law is not an American principle Bush Republicans recognize. What they are and will try to do first is exploit and circumvent laws that apply to "ordinary" people. When that doesn't work, they are not beyond pardoning criminal Bush loyalists no matter what their crimes. Fortunately, in the case of Alberto Gonzales, they have failed in their extraordinary efforts to avoid the legitimate due process all other people in America are subject to. Now all they can do is beg for money to defend a criminal co-conspirator whom their lies and corruptions can no longer protect. All they can do is throw money at his defense with the hope that he won't rat them out. While Gonzales might ultimately be the first high-level Bushie to choose to implicate fellow Bushies in order to reduce his time in prison, he will not be the last Bushie to be exposed to the same persuasive truth serum that ordinary people must experience when they are held accountable for violating the laws of our land.

This is the address of the Ford Public comment link.

I asked if t6hey were begging us to sell their shares and not buy their cars.

I wonder if some one on there board is now suporting NAMBLA and if they are about to announce that they have been a secret Soviet Communist cell?

or maybe a press release to CNN

Ford announced today that it will be supporting the Alberto Gonzales Legal Defense Trust and they will no longer be tightening the nuts and bolts on their vehicles.

Why doesn't he just ask for a public defender?

So much for me EVER buying a Ford.

If Gonzales can't afford an attorney with the $180,000 a year he was making then he can have a court appointed one just like every other person in this country.

Fuck him. I hope he gets a nice 4 x 6 cell in a supermax prison somewhere and that Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld occupy the cells nearby.

I think Alberto should just ask Mark Geragos to represent him "pro bono" in exchange for all the free advertising and media exposure.
It's a win-win situation:
Mark Geragos gets to be in the spotlight once again (which he loves!) and Alberto will end up in jail because despite Mark's best efforts, he'll be found guilty on all counts.

2cts to his legal defense, but takes 41cts to mail, more than he's worth.

If there was ever a bubble boy, Beto lived it when he obfuscated and told various shades of the truth. He knew what he was doing, at least give him that, given his Yale U education. But his loyalties to Bushco is legendary. Anyone with this type of blindness doesn't deserve to be enforcer of laws.

He could prove to be an embarrassment to the Bush people, however.If he's indicted, his carreer is over,but maybe not. He could end up defending traffic citations in a public defender's office.

To think his family braved the heat in the fields so that he could aspire to greatness.

I wish I could donate NEGATIVE amounts.

Or some kind of tainted currency that explodes upon arrival and taints all the other money.

Where do I send my contribution to the prosecution fund. The SOB needs to be prosecuted and sent to prison for the rest of his life.

It's too bad Houston defense attorney Joe Frank Cannon is no longer with us. He would have been perfect for Gonzo.

Interesting...
A man who has not been charged with any crime lawyers up, solicits money for a defense fund.
Talk about pro-active.

OK, I looked at Findlaw.com to see what it said about David G. Leitch at Ford Motor Co. But the only David G. Leitch it lists is at the White House.
So: if it was so terrible for Al Gore to make fundraising calls from a federal telephone, is this guy begging for big bucks in his role as a WHite House lawyer? Was he a Ford Motor lawyer who issued the call for $$$$ and then went to the White House, knowing his new-found clout would help? Or is Findlaw.com out of date, and the former White House lawyer now yelling for money from a new shelter at Ford? Anybody know more about this?

Why does AGAG need a defense fund? We've done away with habeas haven't we?

If they'd just disappear Gonzales into blacksite torture, he wouldn't need to worry about legal fees.

Please note that it's called a "legal expense fund." Apparently they are well aware that there is no defense for Gonzo.

Are you effing kidding me?

If you go to the Ford Motor Company website, you can click on "Public Affairs" and send them a comment on this.That Ford would support Gonzales should not surprize anyone who reads history !The original Henry Ford was in tight with Hitler. That is a fact !
