When Alberto Gonzales testifies in a make-or-break Senate committee hearing this week, the AG will face a man who is as responsible as anyone for bringing the DOJ leadership to its knees -- Preet Bharara, chief counsel to Sen. Charles Schumer and a former Assistant U.S. Attorney, who has spearheaded the investigation into the firing of eight U.S. Attorneys. If Gonzales is forced to resign as a result of the firings, it will be in no small part due to Bharara, whom his department employed for five years.
