The only likely crime is perjury -- and that's still a long way to prove, because there is no strong evidence yet.
Another possibility is that federal employment statutes were violated with the firings of the US Attorneys -- but that's just an unsubstantiated claim, and there is no evidence at all.
The problem with Gonzales isn't that he's committed obvious crimes. It's that he has obviously violated his ethical duties as an attorney, and that he is not a competent manager.
Let's assume everything is says is completely true. That means he authorized firings of many senior prosecutors without reviewing their records personally, endorsed govt programs without evaluating their legally, attended meetings that he doesn't remember, participated in discussions and gave legal advice that he cannot explain....
All of those are violations of his ethical duties as an attorney, which is grounds for disbarment. All of those also indicate that he is over his head as far as his ability to be the manager and supervisor of a national organization.
So, at best, he didn't break any laws but is simply unqualified to hold his current position.
At worst, he did all that AND committed federal felonies.

He clearly perjured himself in sworn testimony before the Senate. And Bush is covering Gonzales' lies by refusing to allow testimony by Mier and Rove.
If perjury was enough to attack Clinton, even impeach him, Gonzales deserves nothing less.
And stupidity is not a crime but a virtue in this administration where the only requirement is absolute devotion to Bush. It's enough to make me retch.

No, but the Senate and House committees will. They're still investigating. Some charges they are likely to consider are perjury (lying to Congress), contempt of Congress for refusing to answers, violation of statutes such as FISA, illegal wiretapping, obstruction of justice, unauthorized and selective declassification of classified information, and violation of USERRA (The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act), the law that says that employers cannot fire someone for missing work time for the Reserves. One of the reasons US Attorney Iglesias was fired was that he missed too much time from work while he was doing his reserve duty.

The only crime he has committed is by not telling Arlen Specter and Patrick Leahy to kiss his butt and provide proof of the perjury they claim he committed instead of throwing around unsubstantiated rumors. Well that and being a Bush appointee.
Although since those are not technically crimes he has committed none.

Alan Spector (R) has suggested that Gonzalez committed perjury; his testimony conflicted with itself in statements made to the Senate.

Nope.
He works for Bush so he must be guilty of something.

Perjury, apparently.
