Both of your 'fair questions' presuppose guilt. An arrest is not a conviction. We have a judicial process in this country; let's wait for it to conclude, instead of advancing personal speculations.
It is true that Gonzales has not been proven guilty, and that in legal sense he is innocent.
But from a political perspective, he is responsible of placing himself in a position of being indicted by participating in backroom deals.
