Karl Rove & Harriet Myers must testify...

Finally, the rule of law returns to America.... (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/19631.html)


Under the deal worked out between the committee and Bush’s attorneys, the interviews would be done under oath and behind closed doors – but transcribed and released to the public, a statement from committee chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.) said.

The committee isn’t giving up the right to seek public testimony in the future from Rove, a former political aide and deputy chief of staff, and Miers, a former White House counsel. But that sensitive issue will be deferred indefinitely, a source familiar with the deal said.

While in office, Bush tried to block the testimony of Rove and Miers, saying that as presidential advisers, they were not required to testify before Congress. Just before Bush’s term ended, a lawyer for the president reiterated his instructions to Rove and Miers not to testify in the probe, which is exploring the abrupt firing of nine U.S. Attorneys in 2006.

“We have finally broken through the Bush Administration’s claims of absolute immunity,” Conyers said in a statement. “This is a victory for the separation of powers and congressional oversight. It is also a vindication of the search for truth.”

I wonder if Rove will have to testify 5 times, like he did in the Scooter Libby Treason Trial, in order to get his facts straight and cover his perjury.:rotfl:

They had the right to fire all of them, just like the Clintons did. Rule of law - my ass.

It's why they were fired that's the problem. These US Attorneys were fired for not pursuing ficticious political prosecutions against Democrats, under the guise of "voter fraud".

Politicalizing the US Justice Department is the crime here. Distorting the rule of law for political gain is the crime. And that's what most people, including many REPUBLICAN former US Attorneys believe happened during the Bush Administration.

Plus the Bushites applied a political test to candidates for professional jobs in the Justice Department, in violation of Federal Law. The Bushites had the right to appoint their partisans to "political positions" in the Justice Department, but not to career professional positions.

This is all going to come out in this investigation.

at least we know polemicvol is the board's wacky socialist

[TennesseeTuxedo]

No, Poley is a fascist wannabe.

[Athenian]

Then the litimus test is legal as the Senate applies it to Fed Judges. If it's on the socialist Democrat sides it's ok. Case in point is Clinton lying under oath and the Rule of Law didn't apply in his case.

You must be a Federal Employee. The Dems are made of Blacks, Union Members and Federal Employees - all who want entitlements from the cradle to the grave.

Oh well, it takes all kinds.

[Polemicvol]

Like the Wall Street bankers who believed they were entitled to annual bonuses last year, even though they drove their companies into the ground and the money that saved their companies and paid their many millions in bonuses, came from the US Taxpayers.

The poor have little entitlements. The rich steal more in a day than the poor take in a lifetime.

I'm not sure what your point is about Clinton and the rule of law. He lied under oath, was impeached for it, and lost his law license for the effort. That's fairly substancial punishment for hiding an affair from a witch hunt. Maybe it wasn't enough to suit you, but to say Clinton didn't govern under the rule of law is a joke.

I'm not a union member, a black, or a union member. I've been a self employed capitalist for most of the last 20 years. I'm just not ideologically married to stupidity, like most radcons are.

Its time to move on guy. Your personal hero just upped the national debt by 3 frickin trillion in 2 months, is fixing to make healthcare in this country a goddamn joke, is giving away money to all his cronies in record numbers, and you STILL continue to wash his balls on a daily basis.
