Deputy attorney general Paul McNulty announced yesterday that he would resign this summer. A day later, attorney general Alberto Gonzales comments. Gonzales said that he relied on the deputy's advice more than any other advisor. Gonzales told reporters at a National Press Club forum in Washington "You have to remember, at the end of the day, the recommendations reflected the views of the deputy attorney general. He signed off on the names."
It appears to me that Gonzales is just trying to put the blame on someone other than himself. Yes the deputy attorney general should be held accountable; however, Gonzales signed off on firings as well. In a corporation, the CEO must sign off on virtually everything. At the end of the day he is held accountable for everything he signed off on. I do not see how this is different in Gonzales' case.
