Fired U.S. Attorney McKay says Alberto Gonzales (and others, Rove?) likely to face criminal charges as early as next month

Concerning the ongoing investigation of the Office of the Inspector General McKay was quoted yesterday in the Spokane Spokesman Review as saying, “My best guess is it will be released sometime next month,’’ and likely will include recommendations for criminal prosecutions of Gonzales and maybe others." McKay was interviewed for 8 hours during the investigation.

McKay was quoted as saying “The chief law enforcement officer for the United States should not lie under oath."

McKay also said he thought that he and the seven other U.S. attorneys were likely fired for political reasons with the strings possibly being pulled by Karl Christian Rove.
