Here's a good question for Alberto Gonzales at today's hearing.

We already know that some 15 federal agencies and departments were subjected, at various times during the Bush Presidency, to briefings from Karl Rove's White House political shop on the key battleground races facing the GOP. In today's front page story in the Washington Post, we learn that even U.S. diplomats have been given Rovian briefings on GOP electoral priorities, as recently as January of this year.

What we don't know is whether Rove or his crew gave similar briefings to DOJ officials.

Will someone press the Attorney General on this point today? And if he doesn't know whether it happened, does he think it would have been appropriate if it did?
