I love this shit!
The Senate Judiciary Committee is set to vote Thursday on whether to authorize subpoenas to 14 current and former administration officials, including White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove and former White House Counsel Harriet Miers, John Bresnahan reports.
Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.), the panel’s ranking Republican, are expected to convene the committee Thursday to vote on the subpoenas for Rove, Miers and William Kelley, a former top aide to Miers.
The committee will also vote to subpoena six of the fired U.S. Attorneys and five Justice Department officials, including Kyle Sampson, the recently fired chief of staff to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
Harriet Miers testifying before Congress? That should be quite a spectacle.
Ahhh…I love the smell of subpoenas in the morning…
And that is why everything we did last year to get our people elected was so vitally important. Because you know that if we didn’t have congressional majorities, this shit would have been swept under the rug, like all his former scandals.
Suspect we will hear endless repetition of “I was very busy, I don’t recall, I don’t remember…or, if the Committee is particularly agressive, “I invoke my Constitutional rights against self-incrimination as guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment…”
Pace yourself, Holden. Don’t peak too early.
