Former Justice official may face grand jury probe ~~ Is it any wonder we can't get good candidates for Federal offices? I'm no fan of Alberto, but really, this is just expensive and spite. The people who are bringing the suit should have to pay for it personally, not the Taxpayers!!

WASHINGTON (AP) - The scandal that helped force the resignation of former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales may be headed to a grand jury and possible criminal charges.
A government official says the Justice Department is considering launching a grand jury investigation into whether one of its former leaders misled Congress about playing politics with hiring decisions.

The move follows a yearlong inquiry by the department's inspector general. It examined whether former acting assistant attorney general Bradley Schlozman gave hiring preference to conservative loyalists over better-qualified lawyers at Justice's civil rights division.

A government official confirmed the grand jury referral. Schlozman declined comment
