Yes, but White House Counsel (Gonzalez) is responsible for the vetting of the nominee, in otherwords - this stuff should have been found out before the nomination was announced. And its not like he had to go far, he just had to read a copy of Newsday.
So he either doesn't do his job, and as a result has been promoted to AG. Or overlooks warrants for arrest, improper use of government funds, mob connections and employing illegal aliens for the chief of Homeland Security and has been rewarded with a promotion to AG. Super fun.
