Why don't we take what we can get? - Specter on CNN now

[tinfoilinfor2005]

Leahy - No, because what we can get is NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING!

[11 Bravo]

1. We plan to, Magic Bullet Boy.

The operative word is TAKE. As in subpoena.

[EFerrari]

12. "magic bullet boy"

:rofl:

[notadmblnd]

2. specter is sooooo transparent.

what a tool :crazy:

[WinkyDink]

3. Because Oliver ain't takin' no more GRUEL, Arlen BABY.

[deminks]

4. Specter still needs to answer why the language that allowed this mess

was inserted by his staff with no one's knowledge. It was your staff, Arlen, which you have freely admitted. Who directed this person to insert the language? Was it you? Was it the White House? Was it Fredo Gonzales? Who?

How dare you even suggest the course of action for this committee.

[pwb]

10. i am with you on that. specter started it all.

[ljm2002]

11. Precisely!

And please, Dems, take note: anytime Specter or anyone speaking on his behalf suggests that we accept the "offer" from the White House, please remember to ask them (a) who inserted the language into the Patriot Act; and (b) on whose behalf they did it. If they cannot answer these questions, then ask if they are willing to testify under oath to that.

5. pig.

6. As long as you want to take it Spector

bend over one more time for Karl,,,,

[yardwork]

7. Because it's crap, Senator, as you know well.

These guys have no shame.

[Virginia Dare]

8. Because we don't have to, now STFU Arlen...

right after you tell us what lies the Warren Commission covered up you traitorous bastard.

[BonnieJW]

9. I have noticed

that Arlen will come out with a statement that sides with the Dems and the next day, he will go the other way. I am more and more convinced that repub members of congress and the senate were wiretapped and they are being blackmailed every time they get out of line.

13. as Keith sys-----in the end he always caves.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

14. I was typing as I was listening, so I don't remember Leahy's exact

followup words, but he was MAD and there was more. He said, to my flawed memory, "We don't get an oath, we don't get truth, we don't get accountability. We get NOTHING."

[Lasher]

15. It's on CSPAN radio

In addition to insisting that Rove and Miers not be interviewed under oath, White House counsel Fred Fielding laid out the following demands in a March 20 letter: that interviews be conducted behind closed doors, that they not be televised or transcribed, that no subpoenas be issued following the interviews, and that questions may not concern internal White House communications.

16. Is anyone surprised that Specter is backpedaling?

He's rather famous for it, I think. What a moron. :eyes:

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. No this is part of the process

he needs to get leteters, emails et al.

And of course the horse trading and allinance building is in full swing

[noise]

17. Notice the lack

of concern the Republicans have for the fired attorneys whose professional reputations were trashed. Fellow Republicans no less.

Bush Co. attempted to trash the US attorney system and Specter is ready to accept Fielding's stupid conditions? No wonder Bush Co. is data mining on Americans. Specter still doesn't seem to understand the concept of Congressional oversight.

[Ganja Ninja]

19. Why can't they just take the oath and tell the truth?

Why is that so much to ask?
