"There has not been one verified case of civil liberties abuse," Gonzales told senators on April 27, 2005.

Six days earlier, the FBI sent Gonzales a copy of a report that said its agents had obtained personal information that they were not entitled to have. It was one of at least half a dozen reports of legal or procedural violations that Gonzales received in the three months before he made his statement to the Senate intelligence committee, according to internal FBI documents released under the Freedom of Information Act.

Looks like lying to Congress and perjury to me, but that'd just be political. Sort of like feeding Congress a pile of crap so they'll do what you tell them to do. Time to find someone to indict the AG.
