Ashcroft perjured himself. I imagine they soft peddled the questions becuase they didn't want to appear partisan, and the report is going to bury him.

He claimed he increased the counterterrorism more than any other budget under his control. That this is untrue is a matter of public record.

This is no longer a matter of falling on his sword, something he didn't do. He lied under oath over a matter an internet search of public records can prove. He needs to resign.
