Oh, by the way.... that stuff he said under oath?

He'd like to change that a bit.... just a minor alteration...
During his sworn Senate testimony last week, former Missouri U.S. Attorney Bradley Schlozman repeatedly asserted that he had been “directed” by Craig Donsanto, the head of the Justice Department’s Election Crimes section, to file controversial voter fraud indictments against a week before the 2006 election.
Ok... not 'directed' but consultation and suggestions.... you know...

Leahy responds:

In a statement released today, Leahy responded to the letter: “It is deeply troubling that after weeks of preparation Mr. Schlozman appears to have misled the Committee and the public about his decision to file an election eve lawsuit in direct conflict with longstanding Justice Department policy.”

“This Justice Department and this Administration already suffer from a severe credibility crisis, and learning that yet another senior official was less than forthcoming during his testimony before Congress does little to restore any of the lost trust or eroding confidence in their leadership,” Leahy said.
