Senate Democrats Call For Special Prosecuter To Investigate Gonzales

Raw Story: Three Senate Democrats called on the Justice Department's Solicitor General to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate whether or not

Raw Story:

Three Senate Democrats called on the Justice Department's Solicitor General to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate whether or not Attorney General Alberto Gonzales committed perjury in Congressional testimony on the Bush administration's domestic spying program.

Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) harshly criticized the Attorney General in the Thursday Capitol Hill press conference.

"His inability to answer simple and straight forward questions was stunning," Schumer said. "His instinct is not to tell the truth, but to dissemble and deceive."

Video of Schumer on CNN's American Morning available on RawStory. You can read the letter sent to the Solicitor General here (.pdf).  We'll have our footage up shortly.
