...lawyer for the President was asking the head of the Department of Justice to approve an illegal program," says ethics expert Stephen Gillers, a professor at New York University law school. "By seeking to advance an illegal scheme, Gonzales seriously interfered with the administration of justice. It's hard to think of a clearer example of a violation of this rule...
