Gonzales' Lies and Possible Criminal Coverup?

Politburo Diktat has an excellent series of blog posts on the increasingly suspicious revelations surrounding Attorney General Gonzales and his role in the U.S. Attorney firing debacle.

There's a lot there, and I don't think there's much I can add. In summary, the longer this goes on, the more evidence seems to indicate that: 1) Gonzales has lied on many occasions about his role in the firings. 2) Most of the firings were very much politically motivated, and had nothing to do with performance issues. 3) While there is no hard evidence that illegal activity occurred (i.e. that the attorneys were fired because they didn't attack Democrats, or the attorneys were pressured by White House officials to attack Democrats), there is a lot of circumstantial evidence pointing in that direction, so the issue merits closer investigation.
