House Purged Prosecutor Probe Moves to White House

[Coexist]

Oh, this is getting good, and TPM Muckraker is all over this.

...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.

We'll have copies of the letters to Fielding and Miers up soon.

6. It's more recent than that, isn't it?

I recall she resigned in January or February, but I'm willing to be corrected.

[Eurobabe]

13. I think she announced she was leaving in October and her

resignation was effective Jan. 31. Yes, I thought she had just departed too, but the original article I pulled up said she made it known in October?

Ibet Shrub will force this all the way to the SCOTUS before he ever gives up any inside info!

Then of course the Roberts court will overrule Congress, and we're screwed AGAIN!

That smirk was just after he pretended to take responsibility for something, right? It was as if to say "There.. now I'm "humble", right?" - nudge,nudge,wink,wink

bush's "goodness"? The look is devious.
