“How many United States attorneys have been asked to resign in the past year?” Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) asked Alberto Gonzales during a January 18th Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. Eight months later, she’s still asking.

We already told you. “We believe that information responsive to Senator Feinstein’s question was provided to the Committee in the course of the staff’s confidential, transcribed interviews of Department officials,” Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski wrote to Feinstein in a letter last week.
But if her question was answered, Sen. Feinstein must have missed it. The Justice Department’s reply is “wholly unsatisfactory,” Feinstein says.
