It appears that a documentary about the U.S. attorney scandal that plagued the Bush administration is going to be quite revealing — or salacious, depending on your point of view.<\/p>\n

InJustice, which is being produced by Storyville Films<\/a>, is still in production, according to information about the documentary<\/a> on the company\u2019s Web site. But the company has released a 10-minute trailer.<\/p>\n

In the trailer, you\u2019ll see a hint of emotion from David Iglesias<\/a>, the former U.S. attorney for New Mexico who was among those fired, when he alleges that former Sen. Pete Domenici<\/a> and Rep. Heather Wilson<\/a> pressured him to speed indictments in a case involving a high-ranking Democrat in time to sway voters in the 2006 election.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was un-American, and the more I thought about it — in fact, I\u2019m getting angry again just thinking about it, because it\u2019s not what this country stands for,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

And you\u2019ll hear Iglesias and several other fired U.S. attorneys discuss former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales\u2019<\/a> congressional testimony about Iglesias\u2019 firing with skepticism.<\/p>\n

\u201cGonzales lied under oath when he testified that he would never, ever take somebody out for political reasons,\u201d Iglesias alleges on the trailer for the documentary.<\/p>\n

Several of the others discuss on the trailer the possibility that Gonzales will face perjury or obstruction of justice charges related to his testimony before Congress about Iglesias\u2019 firing.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the trailer:<\/p>\n
