Very interesting.
An experienced political criminal defense attorney will be appointed Bush's top legal counsel.
Just in the nick of time I might add.

Veteran Washington lawyer named counsel

WASHINGTON - A veteran Washington lawyer who has been through the legal battles of Watergate and served both Presidents Nixon and Reagan is
President Bush's choice to be his White House counsel.

Fred Fielding's appointment was likely to be made Tuesday, according to a Bush administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the move has not yet been publicly announced.

Fielding will become Bush's top legal counsel just as Democrats, once again the majority party in Congress, plan to take a more critical look at the administration. From the
Iraq war to environmental policy and secret surveillance, the Democrats who now control both the House and Senate are armed with subpoena power and ready to summon panels of witnesses.
