House Purged Prosecutor Probe Moves to White House
By Paul Kiel - March 9, 2007, 3:20 PM



...And on to the White House.

The House Judiciary Committee requested a host of documents from the White House today related to the administration's firing of a group of U.S. attorneys. The committee is also seeking to interview at least one current official in the White House's counsel's office, William Kelley, Deputy Counsel to the President, and former White House counsel Harriet Miers. (Former USA for Seattle John McKay has told reporters that, in a meeting with Kelley and Miers, he was asked about accusations that he had "mishandled" an investigation of Democratic voter fraud in the 2004 Washington gubernatorial election.)

The committee sought the documents in a letter to White House counsel Fred Fielding signed by Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) and Subcommittee Chairwoman Linda Sanchez (D-CA). By next Friday, March 16th, the committee wants all records of communications within the White House regarding the firings, all records of communications with members of Congress concerning the fired attorneys, the names of any members of Congress who were advance notice of the firings, and the names of anyone in the White House who was involved in the firings.

Update: You can see the letter to Miers (pdf) and the one to Fielding (pdf) at bottom of link.

6. just a snip on who Fred Fielding is

Fielding, who was White House counsel to Reagan from 1981 to 1986, has a long list of government assignments, including serving as associate counsel for President Richard Nixon from 1970 to 1972, where he was deputy to John Dean during the Watergate scandal.

7. They'll just find a way

to classify all of them in the name of terra terra and won't have to release anything. I ain't getting my hopes up on this one.....or else they will have 'forgotten' where they put them.
