Sununu Calls for Gonzales’ Ouster
Senator John Sununu (R-New Hampshire) became the first GOP senator to call for the firing of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. However, this move by Sununu, the beneficiary of the New Hampshire phone jamming scandal in 2002, was likely a political maneuver to help his electoral chances next year.
In May 2006, James Tobin, the New England campaign chairman for Bush-Cheney ‘04, was sentenced to 10 months in prison for his involvement. Phone traffic between Tobin and then-White House Political Director Ken Mehlman suggested involvement of the Bush administration but Mehlman denies the calls were related to the phone jamming scheme.
