White House to Meet with Dems at 2 PM
By Paul Kiel - March 20, 2007, 1:06 PM

House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) will hold a presser after his meeting wtih White House counsel Fred Fielding, so stay tuned.

1. Cancelled committee appearence.

Now this. Looks like it is really sucking to be Gonzo, today.

[BurtWorm]

2. Hmmm...

:popcorn:

[blogslut]

3. Fielding and Conyers

Seems like old times

[madokie]

4. this'll be good both the meeting and the following press conference

my be is that the bush* crime cabal will offer gonzAllass up as a trade to stop the investigation which is sure to continue now with the new emails and all the new info they bring.

5. Fielding has list of successors in hand

"Here's the deal. Al's gone. You guys pick the next AG. The investigative hearings stop immediately and you can do the business of the people. It's a total win-win for you guys!"

[babylonsister]

7. But who'd want that job? Seriesleah! nt

[thereismore]

8. I like the way you think! I think you are really close. nt

[Neecy]

9. probably not

These are House members and the Senate would confirm the new AG, unless they're using Conyers as a go-between (possible).

[Norquist Nemesis]

14. True, but it's not clear who will be at the meeting. It simply states Dems

Obviously, Conyers will be there since he's holding a presser following, but I doubt he and Fielding are going to be the only ones in the room. :shrug:

10. Why stop when you have these bastards on the ropes

They know they're cooked everyone in the country can smell roast goose. I say no deals.

[Norquist Nemesis]

12. Oh, I agree!!! No deals! Thoroughly conduct the hearings

and investigations regardless of whether so and so resigns. It's the Administration and the buck stops there!

[Cooley Hurd]

11. I hope Conyers tells him to shove it - Rove needs to go!

Rove STILL has a security clearance - stop him before he harms national security AGAIN!:thumbsdown:

[Norquist Nemesis]

15. I hope Leahy (if he's in the room) tells him the same thing! n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. BINGO! Unless the Democrats have decided they want BLOOD and are going for the BIG FISH here.

KKKRove and the psycho. The Democrats had better NOT cave on this! They have them on the fence and they're scared SHITLESS!

6. What's he gonna do? Threaten them with more anthrax?

[951-Riverside]

13. White House: We installed cameras in your homes and tapped your phones....

Dems: We have pressured the administration into an agreement in return we will not ask Rove, Bush or Cheney to testify furthermore we will halt all investigations
(some) DU'ers: YEEAAAAH! We have put the smack down on Bush and his cronies!
(other) DU'ers: Uhhhhh... I don't think we...
(some) Du'ers: SHAD UP!!! Me thinks thou doth Protest too much. :popcorn:
DU mod: Buh Bye subthread.

[bdamomma]

16. oh boy, our guys better stand firm on this one, not this BS I heard

today, that Rove will talk behind doors and not under oath, I heard that on AAR. They got to keep these rats from running.

[peacetalksforall]

18. The vote was 94-2 and now Fielding wants to meet with JUST THE DEMS?

That means the Republicans don't figure in to the mediation?

Or is the WH dictating to the Republicans as usual?

[Norquist Nemesis]

19. That means that it's the Dems who hold the subpoena power

and control the agenda for Hearings.

[AndyA]

21. The Republicans in Congress are in lockstep behind their commander in cheese

for the time being.

If his administration continues to sink like the Titanic, look for the GOPers in Congress to man the lifeboats and flee the sinking ship, to hell with the women and children! They have to save their political careers.

20. Yummy! More popcorn!!!!
