The former Deputy Attorney General to John Ashcroft and later Alberto Gonzales described an attempt by the current, embattled Attorney General to centralize power within his office as he began his term at the Justice Department.
James Comey, who served as Deputy Attorney General from 2003 through 2005, described Gonzales’ plan to reduce the independence of Comey’s office when he became the Attorney General at the beginning of President George W. Bush’s second term in office. The plan was presented to him by Kyle Sampson, the ex-Chief of Staff to Gonzales.
