First, notice how CNN titles this article, instead of saying "former attorney general", the chose "ex attorney general", which automatically connotes a negative toward Alberto Gonzales. The most revealing part of this article is watching liberal loon partisans like Clinton and her talking heads, they want to deny Trump a fair trial, which is so typical of liberal nazis like Clinton http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/04/politics/alberto-gonzales-donald-trump-judge-curiel/index.html But, Gonzales said, Trump is entitled to a fair trial, and the appearance of impropriety could be enough for him to reasonably request that Curiel recuse himself. He cited Curiel's membership in the La Raza Lawyers Association's San Diego chapter -- although the lawyers group is unaffiliated with the National Council of La Raza, an advocacy group that has opposed Trump, the billionaire "may be concerned that the lawyers' association or its members represent or support the other advocacy organization." "These circumstances, while not necessarily conclusive, at least raise a legitimate question to be considered," Gonzales wrote. "Regardless of the way Trump has gone about raising his concerns over whether he's getting a fair trial, none of us should dismiss those concerns out of hand without carefully examining how a defendant in his position might perceive them and we certainly should not dismiss them for partisan political reasons."
Attorney's General who resign in order to avoid being indicted are not exactly credible on issues of judicial ethics. Gonzales knows that ethnicity is no grounds for a judge to recuse. But he's playing the Trump surrogate.
