Absentee Lawlords ***[Updated: Gonzales Subpoenaed]

This story would really piss fired U.S. Attorney David Iglesias off. Oh wait. It has pissed him off.

"It's a double standard and it's hypocritical," Iglesias said. "Not one judge from my district wrote a letter to main Justice saying I was gone too much. . . . Most of my absences were military-related."


Follow the link for the rest.

***TRIPLE SUPER ASTERISK UPDATE: Atrios says that CNN just reported that the House Judiciary Committee has issued a subpoena to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. It's in bold red and breaking at CNN (the subpoena is for documents from Gonzales). And now at the Washington Post.

Expect a whole new set of talking points about Bill Clinton and "EXECUTIVE PRIVELEGE!!!" to take over the air- and blogwaves RIGHT FREAKING NOW.

Oh, it's on.

Christy Hardin Smith at Firedoglake explains the subpoenas. Return date for the documents: April 16. Just 6 days from now.
