The Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' controversy remains as an open sore as the issues of executive privilege, political partisanship and now resignation are being discussed openly.  If the Sunday morning talk shows are of any indication, a battle royal is continuing to brew.  . 

In an interview on Fox News, Feinstein said after the release of information that Gonzales might have known about the firing process although he had previously denied knowledge, “I believe he should step down, and I don't like saying this. This is not my natural personality at all. But I think the nation is not well served by this”.

Feinstein said earlier in the program, “Attorney General Gonzales has had the view that he serves two masters, that he serves the president and that he serves as the chief law enforcement officer.

He serves one master, and that's the people of this country in being straightforward, in following the law”.

Another person who also believes that Gonzales is wounded is Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.,) who said on NBC News' Meet the Press today,  "This shadow, this cloud, across the U.S. attorney offices all across the country has to be lifted,'' Durbin said, adding of Gonzales: "I don’t believe he enjoys the confidence of the American people or the Congress.''.

However, not all U.S. Senators agree upon the open process of the investigation. 

While Senators are debating whether Gonzales has not being forthright, there is a continuing discussion over what exactly should be classified as executive privilege.  Gonzales is expected to testify after Congressional spring break.   

Republican Trent Lott of Mississippi stated on Fox News that the issue of executive privilege should be considered.  When it was pointed out by  Fox News Chris Wallace A lot of these Clinton aides testified under oath, Lott responded,  “Well, yes, but that doesn't mean it was a smart thing to do or that it should have been done”.

Lott was President of the U.S. Senate during much of the Clinton legal controversies.

The real games should begin soon.  Kyle Sampson, the attorney general's former chief of staff who resigned the controversy became public, is expected to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday.
