Dems push for more answers from Gonzales - Politics - MSNBC.com

WASHINGTON - Democrats pressed for more answers on the firings of U.S. attorneys Thursday even as Attorney General Alberto Gonzales insisted he hasn't remembered any new details and Republicans called for an end to the congressional probe.

"The list of accusations has mushroomed, but the evidence of wrongdoing has not," said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, top Republican on the panel. "We should not conduct an endless piscine expedition."

Democrats showed no willingness to quit asking questions about whether White House officials ordered the firings of prosecutors not sufficiently loyal to the Bush administration.
