Gonzales: “What Else Do You Want Us To Do?”

From The Washington Post:

Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales met privately with top members of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday to offer an olive branch, but he did not seem too happy about it.

Gonzales had agreed to let Congress limit his powers and interview Justice Department officials as part of an escalating battle over the firings of eight U.S. attorneys. He knew that another scandal on FBI abuses was about to break and that some GOP lawmakers were hinting that he was in over his head.

“What else do you want us to do?” the normally taciturn Gonzales asked in exasperation, according to several officials with knowledge of the meeting.
