Report: Gonzales Mishandled Top Secret Docs

Internal DOJ Report Found Then-AG Had a Safe, Forgot Combination

In response to the review, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., criticized the Justice Department for not prosecuting Gonzales.

"This misconduct concerned not only some of his handwritten notes, but also 17 secret documents on surveillance and interrogation issues, of the highest classification level," he said. "The [Justice] Department ought to explain clearly why it declined to pursue charges against Mr. Gonzales and what actions it intends to take in response to the report."
