WP: "Former Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales will not be referred to a federal grand jury for his role in the 2006 firings of nine U.S. attorneys, but a long-awaited report to be released Monday will recommend that a prosecutor continue to probe the involvement of lawmakers and White House officials in the episode, according to two people familiar with the case. ... Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey is likely to announce he will name a career prosecutor from within the Justice Department to address the open questions, ensuring that the politically charged issue will extend into the next administration, the sources said."
