Former George W. Bush administration Attorney General Alberto Gonzales expressed his horror at the criminal acts alleged in the classified documents indictment against former President Donald Trump on CNN Friday — and also tore into House Republicans for continuing to defend the former president and go after the federal investigators who have brought the charges.

"What was the most shocking part of the indictment, in your view?" asked anchor Jake Tapper.

"Well, there was just so much, Jake, quite frankly," said Gonzales. "The number of classified documents, where they were stored, completely unprotected, the efforts to hide them, to move them, to obstruct turning them over. You know, the story is quite compelling, quite honestly. It's going to be a very interesting trial, obviously. Like every other defendant ... former President Trump is presumed innocent until proven guilty, but a pretty compelling story here in this indictment."...

Just pathetic. The loyal Bushies -- count among them Karl Rove, Margaret Spellings and tool Alberto Gonzales -- flew to Texas for Bush's "welcome home" fete after he passed the torch to Obama and became a former president. Apparently there was a little emotional man-love on the flight. Here's Gonzo reliving the moment and sharing it with Cox News reporter Ken Herman.

Just mind-blowing. Former Constitution shredder Alberto Gonzales told the WSJ that he hasn't found gainful employment (or a publisher for this fish wrapper) and blames everyone except himself for f*cking up and politicizing the Justice Department.

It's worthwhile to take a look back at one of the many dark days of the Bush Administration to remind yourself why control of the executive branch must be removed from Republican hands. You might recall the 2004 infamous bedside visit by Alberto Gonzales and Andrew Card to strong-arm John Ashcroft, who was in an intensive-care unit at the time. They wanted him to reauthorize Bush's illegal domestic surveillance program. Ashcroft refused to sign it.
