Frank, Conyers Inquire Into Impeachment of 'Senior White House Officials'!
Letter Sent to 'Neutral Legal Authority' at Library of Congress for Clarification of Constitutional Impeachment Clause
Congressmen Express Belief that Clause 'Clearly Applies to High-Ranking Officials!

The BRAD BLOG has learned that Congressmen John Conyers (D-MI) and Barney Frank (D-MA) have inquired with officials at the Library of Congress' Congressional Research Service this afternoon into whether impeachment proceedings would be appropriate for Senior White House Officials.

The release of a letter by the two congressmen was accompanied by a press release from the office of the ranking minority House Judiciary Committee member, John Conyers. In the letter, the two seek clarification from "a neutral authority" of whether the U.S. Constitution's Article II, regarding impeachment of a sitting President and Vice-President and "all civil officers", would apply to Deputy Chief of Staff, Karl Rove who is currently embroiled in the on-going criminal investigation into who leaked classified information concerning the outting of covert CIA agent, Valerie Plame.

2. Two True Public Servants!

Go get them, boys. But don't stop with Karl; it's time for Spring Cleaning!

[lovuian]

3. This is an Impeachable Offense but the Republicans got to be

on this ... but they have to understand where they are putting Americans who when they see inaction will quit fighting for this government and thats already begun!!!

And without an Army to defend them they are in trouble!!!

[longship]

4. My Home Town

I'm proud of my home town, Detroit. I'm doubly proud of one of its most patriotic and dedicated citizens, John Conyers Jr. Thank you, Rep. Conyers for more than upholding your end.

[r0x0r Mc0wnage]

5. Too little, too late

As much as I respect him for what he is doing, Conyers doesn't even have the political power to get a room with chairs and microphones for a meeting, much less an impeachment hearing for members of the most corrupt Administration in our country's history.

While his actions might make us all feel a little better, this is not the time to quit fighting and trust Congress to take it from here. It will get taken exactly nowhere so long as the banks and their corporate interests continue to rule the country through campaign contributions.

9. Conyers has more power than we will ever know

He is working behind the scenes day and night to make stuff happen.

It is not just the things he puts his name to - he is an orchestra leader and he knows how to play the game.

Don't play him cheap!

6. It's the Patriots versus the Traitors.

Thank you, Congressmen Conyers and Franks. :patriot:

14. God I hope so!

What a patriot!

15. What I want to know is, how many OTHER spies and traitors does this

criminal misadministration harbour?

We haven't even scratched the surface!
