I am only guessing here...but since Mr. Gonzales' deputy is the one who claimed the Fifth Amendment protections (protection against self-incrimination) and her attorney is talking about a "perjury trap", I would suppose that she is on record somewhere having said something that was not true... She will now be under oath and if she restates what she said before, she believes she might commit perjury. If she tells the truth now, she will be asked why she did not tell the truth before and badgered relentlessly about which statement is the real truth (thus, the "trap" - lying now or lying then?) If she is given immunity she can tell the "truth" now and not worry about her former conflicting statements. JDN, the point here is not the firing of the attorneys. It was always the President's right to let 'em go. But many statements were made by various people about WHY they were let go (don't ask why they did this - its too dumb for words), WHO was involved in the decision, WHEN it took place, WHETHER the attorneys were fired for incompetence (again...why anyone said anything except they serve at the pleasure of the President is beyond me!) etc. etc. It is not the firing that is the problem. It is the utter ineptness of the planning, execution and reasoning given for the firing. Now we have a lady feeling she is so twisted and convoluted in her dealings and statements she is at risk of lying under oath.... Gonzales has not helped matters at all, but this is a massive incompetence mess...
