[CatWoman]

The Senate Judiciary Committee approved by voice vote today the use of subpoenas to compel testimony from five Justice Department officials about the firings of eight U.S. attorneys. Watch the hearing live on CNN Pipeline now.

includes link to watch the hearing.

BTW - The GOP is trying to use the "Clinton did it too" excuse.

"The committee also postponed for a week a vote on whether to authorize subpoenas of top aides to
President Bush who were involved in the eight firings, including political adviser Karl Rove, former White House Counsel Harriet Miers and deputy White House Counsel William K. Kelley."

20. Reports came out of the Committee to staffers no back up

I just don't know if true yet checking

[BlooInBloo]

21. Checking AFTER you make the claim? Just like truthout.

[onenote]

The action taken today relates to subpoenas for justice dept officials, not wh officials.

[Individualist]

17. Where did you hear that?

[meegbear]

4. In regards to the "Clinton did it too" ...

excluding one "news" organization, the anchors and reporters are calling them on it and showing it's a straw man.

Where were these people back in 2002-on?

[WiseButAngrySara]

6. Pardon my ignorance, but what is the CNN Pipeline? KNR! ....n/t

[CatWoman]

7. some sort of news service

It allowed me to watch three minutes of the hearings before cutting me off.....

Now it wants money :grr:

[WiseButAngrySara]

8. Thanks! I just googled it, but couldn't view any of the videos.

They didn't ask me for $$ though.

[spanone]

10. That's their pay for video bullshit. News ain't free anymore.

Subpenis, Subpenis, Subpenis, Subpenis!!!!!!!!
YOU ROCK SENATOR LEAHY

Sen. Patrick Leahy: "I'm surprised that they're saying that there's no politics involved and we're still 2½ weeks away from April Fool's Day."












OH MEOW

[bdamomma]

23. what a great line!!!

just a question, Rove isn't a executive so could he be subpoenaed? couldn't he?

[Parche]

24. executive

As far as I know, anyone can be subpenis'd...............:bounce:

11. It's just a liberal media distraction from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed

He just confessed to causing the the great Chicago fire, and is in the process of telling them where he buried Jimmy Hoffa.

On a serious note though; I would not be surprised to actually see Gonzo be the catalyst that starts the complete take down of this administration. Hopefully it ends in impeachment as it logically should.

[WiseButAngrySara]

13. Sure hope your prediction bears out. ....n/t

[tjwash]

18. Everone knows WHY the attorneys were fired.

Cheney and Co. were deep in the process of making sure only their own hand picked cronies were in those positions, so that they could be free to loot the treasury with absolute abandon. It's depressingly like the system of corruption that that brought about the downfall of the Soviet Union. Carol Lam got fired here in California very quickly after she lowered the boom on Cunningham, and she was just the tip of the iceberg. Not only that, the piece of garbage U-T which is the local asswipe of a news rag here, smeared her for months afterwards.

[bdamomma]

25. that what they get for putting their cronies and unqualified

people in powerful positions. I hope this takes them down.

[BlooInBloo]

12. That is: the fucking cowards declined to subpoena the white house.

19. rove was just added to the docket this week

http://www.politico.com/blogs/thecrypt/0307/Senate_Judiciary_Set_To_Vote_On_Subpoenas_For_Rove_And_Miers.html

<snip>
Since Rove, Miers and Kelley were just added to the schedule for Thursday's committee meeting, panel rules allow any member to postpone consideration of the subpoenas for one week.
<snip>

therefore, some republican on the committee must've postponed the vote until next week.

22. 33 years ago it was recorded tapes

Today, it's e-mail. Oh, the wonders of technology! LOL!

I think I'm going to hold my breath on this, hopefully not for too long. It seems like it's all going to breaking apart fast to a depth we've never before seen or imagined!
