White House Won’t Allow Rove, Miers To Testify
White House Won’t Allow Rove, Miers To Testify
MSNBC’s Mike Viquiera: “Fred Fielding, he’s the White House counsel, he was just here meeting with the House Judiciary Committee. He made the following offer to the Congress, both House and Senate. He said Rove and Harriet Miers would be offered to the committees for their testimony in the Alberto Gonzales prosecutors scandal. However, it would be unsworn testimony, not under oath, behind closed doors, and no transcript would be permitted. Now, that is not what Congress is looking for.”
UPDATE: During a press conference, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) also revealed that the White House is restricting the types of documents that it is willing to release voluntarily. Schumer said the White House is willing to turn over emails between the White House and the Justice Department, and between the White House and third parties, but not intra-White House emails. Schumer explained the problem:
So, if Karl Rove sent a communication to Harriet Miers and said, and this is purely hypothetical, “We have to get rid of US Attorney Lam. Come up with a good reason…” and the only communication we get is the good reason that Harriet Miers sent to the Justice Department.
Later, a reporter argued that Rove and Miers would still be legally compelled to tell the truth even if they weren’t technically under oath. Schumer pointed added by refusing to allow a transcript to be made, “it would be almost meaningless to say that they were under some kind of legal sanction.” Watch it:
UPDATE II: President Bush to speak on the U.S. Attorney purge at 5:30pm ET.
UPDATE III: Read the full White House letter laying out its offer.
Transcript:
SCHUMER: And I would say at best the offer is incomplete and that would be putting as kind a face on it as we could. We would be able to interview the four people we requested — Karl Rove, counsel Miers, and their two assistants — but only in private, not under oath, and with no transcript. And the last part of this is the most troubling of all. When there’s no transcript, what do we do when people’s recollections are different. Furthermore, when there’s no transcript, and what, say, Karl Rove says contradicts what somebody else has said, what do we do?
They did offer to turn over documents, but that too was extremely incomplete because the only documents they’d turn over to us are communications from the White House to the Justice Department, from the White House to other third parties, and back. But no intra-White House communications. So, if Karl Rove sent a communication to Harriet Miers and said, and this is purely hypothetical, “We have to get rid of US Attorney Lam. Come up with a good reason…” and the only communication we get is the good reason that Harriet Miers sent to the Justice department in terms of getting rid is.
So this is a — its sort of giving us the opportunity to talk to them, but not giving them the opportunity to get to the bottom of what really happened here. And in that way it is a pretty clever proposal, but it doesn’t doe the job of figuring out what happened as best we can tell. So the next step is to consult with one another; Chairman Conyers and chairman Leahy will take the lead in determining what our response will be. We obviously will present a counter offer to them that would be far more complete and far more extensive. But speaking from the Senate side because I spoke to Chairman Leahy earlier, we will move forward with the subpoenas on Thursday because this is not what Chairman Leahy had outlined on Sunday, which is coming before us, speaking under oath, there are many many problems with this agreement and any lawyer worth his or her salt would tell you that you’re not going to really find out what went on if you stick to the bounds of this agreement.
QUESTION: Just to confirm, you’re going to go ahead with the vote to authorize the chairman to issue the subpoenas, you’re not going to actually issue the subpoenas?
SCHUMER: You’ll have to talk to Sen. Leahy about the details, but that’s my understanding. That we will go ahead and give the chairman the right to subpoena.
QUESTION: (Inaudible) give you extra leverage in your negotiations with them to try to force them to testify?
SCHUMER: We’re not seeking leverage per se, we’re seeing to get the truth. And with no transcript, with no oath, with private conversations that can be contradicted, recollections can fail, you’re not going to get very far.
QUESTION: Why did the White House agree to this, why did they set this up?
SCHUMER: Well you’ll have to ask Counsel Fielding, but he said he wanted this to be a conversation rather than a hearing. Conversations fine, but lets have a conversation under oath with a transcript so we can see what has happened and weigh the testimony against these particular witnesses against the others.
QUESTION: Senator Schumer, there’s no oath, but the law is such that they don’t have to necessarily be under oath to be compelled to tell the truth to Congress.
SCHUMER: With out a transcript, it would be very — it would be almost meaningless to say that they were under some kind of legal sanction. But these are things we’re going to check out. This is sort of a unique offer.

March 20th, 2007 at 3:04 pmOh yeah!!! Now we can proceed with the indictments!! this obscene admisnistration is sagging under the weight of their evil neoconservatism! of course they dont want to be under oath! they would have to tell the truth or be prosecuted for lying!! either way it dont look good!! :)
March 20th, 2007 at 3:04 pmThe constitutional crisis is heating up.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:05 pmNO!.
OK, Congress, here it is – the battle over the equal powers of the three branches of government. You punched, the White House counterpunched. Now, get after it with subpoenas, court filings, contempt charges, whatever you can.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:05 pmGood….let them resist the law and they’ll all go – immediately! It will create a firestorm so large that soon people will be calling for the dismissal/impeachment of every member of Bush’s cabinet and administration – including Bush himself. The wave of patriotic emotion is gathering steam and it will roll over this administration and destroy it within the coming weeks. Resist all you want, BushCo – the people will unseat you as well.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:05 pmTWO WORDS FOR THE “NEW” WH COUNSEL…
“B I T E M E !!!”
No way….
March 20th, 2007 at 3:05 pm#14 Yes they will allow testimony but not under oath and not in public and not on record and no one may be present.
Big difference.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:06 pmAfter 911 and the bs testimonies of bush/cheney (also not sworn) what can we expect from this gang of thugs.
So their testimony is not guaranteed as to its veracity. Figures.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:06 pmI think this is a battle worth fighting with the white house in its weakened state. It is winnable, and we’ve not had this opportunity before.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:06 pmBen Dover,
TP should change their headline to:
White House won’t allow Rove, Miers sworn testimony.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:06 pmMOMENT OF TRUTH
Does Leahy have the balls to stand up to these clusterf*#ks or wil he cave like Pelosi did on the Supplemental Spending Bill?
If he caves the Dems will prove they are no better than the Repugs; and all that pre-November election talk of reform and accountability was just bullsh@t.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:07 pmWhat are they afraid of? Surely the questions could be limited, in advance, to questions directly and indirectly related to the firing of the attorneys. As a way to avoid any separation of powers issues.
If the Democrats knew what they were doing, they’d raise a stink and portray the White House as hiding something. Hopefully this is just an opening gambit from the White House, staking out initial positions.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:07 pmUn-sworn testimony? Would someone explain that one to me. What is the point? That is saying “we will testify, but we won’t promise to tell the truth.” That is a waste of time. This is Ted Stevens at the oil policy hearing when refused to have the oil executives testify under oat that they would tell the truth… which they had no intention of being truthful.
If you plan on telling the truth, what is the objection to being sworn to honesty? I really don’t get it.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:08 pmeff that!
March 20th, 2007 at 3:08 pm#22, what ARE you smoking? Sounds wonderful.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:09 pmI believe that Bush’s resistance with Gonzo and Rove illustrates the level of involvement and complicity he knows he has in all of this. This resistance against the will of the people illustrates another abuse of presidential power with the invocation of “executive privilege”. Bogus Boehner was full of crapola in stating that it is not customary ….blah…blah….Clinton’s people testified 47 times – so Boehner is another liar.
As for the impeachment proceedings, the Congress now will have unprecedented pressure to begin impeachment proceedings immediately. The people of this country will not tolerate an administration who tramples on our constitution.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:09 pmSo, Fielding was O.K. for you guys in the past, but not now?
March 20th, 2007 at 3:09 pmMan that Karl is a real hero, he has never saved a life, fought in a war, given a kidney, put out a housefire, told the truth and spent ten million of the evangelicals money on an ineffective smear campaign, and kisses \/\/ butt on a daily basis while tossing his friend Abramoff and Libby under the bus.
Flaco you can sure pick em.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:09 pmI hope he continues to resist because it will force the hand of the congress which will no longer make impeachment an arbitrary issue. This will mandate and make them obligated to pursue impeachment as a remedy for this new abuse of power.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:10 pm#14
Here’s what Huffington Post had from CNN:
President Bush’s chief counsel has said the White House will allow testimony from top aides including Karl Rove and Harriet Miers, CNN reports.
Fred F. Fielding met with the chairmen of the Senate and House Judiciary Committee this afternoon on Capitol Hill.
It looks like CNN isn’t giving the whole story.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:10 pmTheir testimony would be irrelevant because there is no law against the President of the United States firing employees of the Executive Branch. I don’t know why Rove and Meirs should hire themselves out as props for a moonbat masturbation party?
March 20th, 2007 at 3:11 pmPLC:
I’m all for “equal” — are you saying the Executive Branch can force Congressmen to testify under oath?!
March 20th, 2007 at 3:11 pm#29 They’re afraid of perjury – plain and simple. If they get idiot Myers up there, her make-up will fall off first before she crumbles completely. Rovereich will be smug up there and lie his ass off so it’s a foregone conclusion that he’ll be indicted for perjury and sit in the slammer alongside his bud, Scoots.
But let them resist, I say. It will bring about such demonstrations and emotion from the people like nothing else before it. The people will have “impeach bush” banners now in the streets and on their vehicles….the Impeach Bush t-shirt manufacturers willl have a heyday.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:12 pmI sincerely hope this will lead to impeachment. I’m partly happy, because I would love to see Bush and Cheney impeached. However, to be honest, I’m mostly fed up and just plain sick and tired of having such an incompetent and corrupt administration. I look forward to the days when I can once again be proud to be an American.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:12 pmGod dammed criminal bastards, Rove under oath, in public, now!
Schumer better be steadfast on this one.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:12 pmPerhaps…
…it is time to…
…storm the Bastille?
…(politically speaking of course)…
March 20th, 2007 at 3:13 pmwhen an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. This is going to be GREAT!!!!!! Keep in mind the leaks coming from just about every dept.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:13 pmThe White House can kick and scream and dig their heels in all they want. All it does is make it clear to everyone that they don’t want the truth to get out. And, in the end, after they’ve done all that damage to themselves, they’re still going to have to testify.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:13 pmAnd testimony “under oath” is the only meaningful testimony. Besides if they have nothing to hide, why worry about testifying honestly?? It’s safe to say that if they’re afraid of swearing in, they’ve got major problems to hide. I’ve never seen a bigger bunch of whimps and whoosies who don’t have the integrity to swear in in my entire life.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:13 pmIs this just like when Chimpy and Darth Cheney held hands and testified but not under oath re: 9/11
IMPEACH THE BASTARDS!
March 20th, 2007 at 3:13 pm#24. Thanks for the sad news. Based on what Pat Leahy said recently, someone somewhere on the Hill is preparing to vote on subpeonas or they are being drawn up.
Dont you just love how the arrogance of the Bush Abomination is almost a mirror image of the Nixon Abomination, and at about the same stage of strikingly similar controversies?
I still have the August 9, 1974 issue of the St. Paul (MN) Pioneer Press that contains the headline (in about 50 point font) “NIXON RESIGNS”. Maybe we are on a collision course with a similar headline 23 years later. We can hope.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:13 pmsubpoena these people – its pretty obvious they will lie
March 20th, 2007 at 3:14 pmIf the Dems agree to this, they might as well tell Joe Lieberman to go over to the GOP, give up their committee chairs, go back to their minority seats, sit down and shut up, because they’re finished.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:14 pmI thought you liberals loved the law….
how about not guilty until proven so in a court of law. Look it up it is in our laws, those that you guys to love so much. or do you guys prefer the Nazi, Communist ways, guilty without a day in court? sure sounds like the latter for many of you liberals.
another thing, Impeachment doesn’t mean removal from office, it just means that you have been indicted, accused of committing a crime.

Does the White House hold hearings and conduct investigations? Let’s not be silly, shall we?
March 20th, 2007 at 3:16 pmSubpoenas should issue immediately. I also agree with #15, we are already in a constitutional crisis and have been for the last four years. Congress must stand its ground. Rove must testify in open hearing. If not we are no better than the old SSR or Pakistan.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:16 pmRove will take the 5th on every question. Basically a stonewall without the words ‘GO F*CK YOURSELF’ ever said.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:17 pmHow long are we going to take this from our public servants? They owe us nothing less than the whole truth. I believe that all public servants should be considered to be under oath as long as they are cashing checks from We the People.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:17 pm#41 Sean: I couldn’t agree with you more. However, as St. Thomas Moore said: “It’s the dark night of the soul which brings about renewal”….and this is what we have to endure “The Dark Night of the Bush Administration” and face up to the high crimes and misdeeds in order to learn from each one of them (as with today’s amendment to the Patriot Act) in order to be able to move forward in a positive way. It will be like digging a mine….the lower we dig…the deeper we realize this administration has gone. Frankly, the past two years have been filled with daily efforts to hijack this democracy….ad nauseum….so I say it’s high time for these dogs to have their day. Let’s move through the detritus, learn from it, and move away from it all…..and quick….before we become contaminated from it’s fallout.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:17 pmTigris, you’ve been taking lessons from Bahgdad Bob. Remember him? He was the nut case talking about how US forces would be stopped while he was dodging bullets.

March 20th, 2007 at 3:18 pm#50, agreed, this is the Democrats moment of truth, and just watch Fox News and others call them unreasonable, and shrill for demanding public, under oath testimony.
And yea, that CNN headline is so misleading, Bush allowing Rove to testify!?!? Hardly!
More like: Bush trying to pull another fast one.

March 20th, 2007 at 3:20 pmSenator Leahy, it’s your call now.
Let America see the man who stood outside the NBC building Sunday morning and declared he will not accept some WH staffers appear with a host of conditions attached to their responses.
Let us see these Neosluts in broad daylight with no backup.
Let America view integrity and truth through a lens uncluttered by politics, greed and corporate pimping.
Let us see how the shoe feels on the other foot.
This is your moment to shine, Senator. We’re behind you. We will support you.
You are the man who had these same people flood your opponent in the last election with money, yet you garnished 74% of the vote.
Have no fear. Fear is the mind-killer. They use fear like soldiers use guns. They cannot hurt you or us with words.
You have a chance to go down in history as the man who started the snowball of impeachment for the most corrupt administration in the history of this proud country.
We’re behind you, Senator.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:20 pmHow about some good news today…
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Saddam Hussein’s former deputy was hanged before dawn Tuesday, the fourth man to be executed in the killings of 148 Shiites following a 1982 assassination attempt against the former leader in the town of Dujail.
Taha Yassin Ramadan, who was Saddam’s vice president when the regime was ousted, went to the gallows on the fourth anniversary of the start of the war in Iraq.
Way Cool!

March 20th, 2007 at 3:21 pmSelective amnesia on firing US Attorneys
Clarice Feldman
A common media trick to get editorial opinion into apparent news stories is the use of outside “scholars” to argue the writer’s point for him. So, I was not astonished to read this
about the Gonzales kerfuffle in the St Louis Post- Dispatch:
Several former U.S. attorneys and legal scholars say the timing of the Bush administration’s replacement of top federal prosecutors is not only atypical, but also a threat to the impartial exercise of justice.
“The sanctity of that position, in terms of that position being immune from any kind of pressure from the administration or Congress, has been the hallmark of the U.S. attorney process. It’s been the hallmark of the federal system of justice,” said W. Charles Grace, a former U.S. attorney for Illinois’ southern district.
The article doesn’t say which administration Mr. Grace served in .This is not surprising . When using this trick to squeeze opinion in a news story by using an outside “expert”, the writer rarely discloses the expert’s bias, usually Democratic. Googling his name, I see that he was a U.S. attorney in 1998 which suggests to me that President Clinton appointed him, and he appointed a lot of them, having fired every single US Attorney when he took office, and 30 more subsequently during his eight year term in office.
And while the number he replaced was astounding, his immediate Democratic predecessor, Jimmy Carter, replaced at least one during the middle of his term of office. Time Magazine reported:
“As Republicans rubbed their hands in glee, the Carter Administration last week found itself trying to explain away a skein of presidential lies. In a letter to Justice Department investigators looking into the firing two weeks ago of Philadelphia’s Republican U.S. Attorney, David Marston, Carter last week corrected a misstatement he had made during a nationally televised press conference on Jan. 12. Republican Congressmen saw an opportunity to duplicate last summer’s damaging controversy over Bert Lance’s financial peccadilloes, and to lay siege again to what was once the President’s pride: his credibility.”
It was Carter’s own fault. During his campaign he rashly declared,
“All federal judges and prosecutors should be appointed strictly on the basis of merit without any consideration of political aspects or influence.”
Such appointments are traditionally made on a frankly political basis, and once Carter was ensconced in the Oval Office, that tradition was fully honored. Of the first 65 U.S. Attorneys named by the new Administration, 64 were Democrats. As House Speaker Tip O’Neill put it, “That’s the way the System works.” And, he might have added, the way Congressmen and Governors want it to work, no matter who is President.
Carter’s problem was that he didn’t tell the truth – several times – about his role in removing Marston. And it came out that he had been asked to fire Marston by one of the targets of an investigation, Rep. Joshua Eilberg of Pennsylvania. Nevertheless Carter went ahead and fired Marston.
It got worse. Marston had notified a Justice Department official that Eilberg was a target.
For some reason or other, nobody among the Democrats or media seems to remember this incident. And the GOP has not raised it either. That’s just lame.
this is from http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2007/03/selective_amnesia_on_firing_us.html
looks like Democrats have done this and defended Carter’s actions. whoops.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:22 pm#52 Patrick1
MSNBC reporting the above. Senate Schumer responds, and says “he isn’t happy†with the proposal.
You missed something:
“We’ll proceed with subpoenas on Thursday,” Schumer told MSNBC.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:22 pmIf the Dems don’t have the balls to demand “testimony under oath” they, too, will become complicit with this administration. Unsworn testimony from these defrauders is like getting a hosing. Give me a break! Just let them try to hide behind the ridulous veil of national security regarding some of the conversations about these attorneys this time! They’ve used this as a method of covering their ass for too long now. The people have had a belly full of their chicanery.
If the dems do not subpoena Rove and Miers, then it’s true that a third party is waiting in the wings. From what I saw today regarding this new coalition of Bruce Fein’s, I’d say that the Rethugs already have a schism brewing in their party and are coming closer to center. Besides, I’d say that the american people are the “true conservatives” today who want to put an end to this corruption in the white house and those condoning it are the true “liberals”.
The monikers no longer have any meaning whatsoever….and a third party is looking mighty powerful right now.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:23 pmanother thing, Impeachment doesn’t mean removal from office, it just means that you have been indicted, accused of committing a crime.

March 20th, 2007 at 3:24 pmThe Nazis and Communists were enemies. In fact, after Hitler burnt the Reichstagg, he blamed it on Communists, which lead his country to attack Poland and start WWII.

I do love the law, though I am a Progressive (you being a NeoCon-lover, you wouldn’t know the difference, because your terminal stupidity is HARD to overcome). Rove and Miers are innocent until they are found guilty of perjury, like Scotter (Rove told me to do it) Libby.
That’s what the testimony under oath is for, DUMMY, to let them prove themselves guilty!
UNDER THE BRIDGE, NASTY TROLL!
March 20th, 2007 at 3:24 pmhowsad: schooling us on “the law” again? I see you don’t learn from your mistakes.

March 20th, 2007 at 3:28 pmA subpoena may not “require” them to testify under oath; however, if they have nothing to hide, why resist. Their mere resistance will be an indictment of their guilt.

housefool,
…a wise man (D-NY Nadler) said this morning…
…when ANY administration does something wrong…
…to say a previous administration did it too…
…is NO defense…
…if what you’ve posted is legit…
…it proves that Repulsivescum have been abdicating their oversight duties…
…and failing the American people for a LONG time…
…they should’ve IMPEACHED Jimmy Carter if that was the case…
…which brings us BACK to the present…
…we Democrats FULLY intend to push for:
IMPEACHMENT
INDICTMENT
INCARCERATION
IMPOVERISHMENT
…EVERYONE we can in the criminal Bushite junta
…and among their corporate co-conspirators as well…
March 20th, 2007 at 3:30 pm#75 Felony violation of FISA for starters, something that the President has already publicly confessed to. Obstruction of Justice, for firing prosecutors investigating petty graft linked to the Vice President’s office. Lying to Congress with regard to the Iraq War Resolution (specifically, certain certifications the resolution required). The list of known crimes by this President is legion. It’s just a matter of getting the proof in testimony under oath.
But lying about fellatio immaterial to a court case isn’t one of them, so I’m sure you don’t think these rise to “high crimes”.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:30 pmwhat is happening here is a fight for power control between Congress, controlled by Democrats and the White House controlled by Republicans.
Democrats want, crave are desperate for power and they want to do it by taking away power from the Executive Branch and taking it from them.
Just look how the Iraq War has taken a back seat for the Dems because…..why? the surge is working, violence is way down in Iraq. so Dems have to turn their attention to something else.
This is but a simple fight to see who has more power, Democrats in Congress or Republicans in the White House.
veitras….all I am doing is showing you different point of views that you will not see if you spend all day long being brainwashed by sites like this one and other liberal blogs. Dare to venture into the right blogs, only then will you truly become open minded.

This refusal is very telling, isn’t it? Now we know that Bush is directly involved, as is Rove, as is Miers. Otherwise, why would he not allow his people to testify under oath? We don’t even need to take the time involved now becuase this is something we now know, deep within our guts. Bush has just finally “outed” himself. This was a HUGE mistake for him. He’s essentially about to now give his own “swan song”.

The right has quietly and covertly usurp our rights to privacy and when we on the Left cry foul, you react by telling us that we should not worry if we don’t have anything to hide. That we should play along with their assault on our privacy. Well, the shoe is on the other foot. If they have nothing to hide, why should they be afforded the privilege of privacy ESPECIALLY since they are serving at the behest of the American people. You guys have it all backwards. Citizens should be afforded great amounts of privacy versus their government while the citizens should be afforded the greatest amount of transparency in government affairs.

March 20th, 2007 at 3:39 pm#105 I agree, if there is nothing to hide, you let anyone and everyone testify in front of the entire world. I don’t think Americans are ready for a Rove / Miers closed door tea and cookies session with congress. This entire scheme is typical “I’ll get you, you son of a bitch” action typical of Bush / Rove / Cheney. The last thing they want to do is lie under oath, but they’ll have to in order to protect bush / cheney.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:39 pmHowever, it would be unsworn testimony, not under oath, behind closed doors, and no transcript would be permitted.
This is pure bullsh!t…the same bullsh!t we saw when Chimpy and Deadeye testified after 9/11.
‘Unsworn testimony’ is fancy talk for ‘no repercussions for lying your head off’.
Congress should reject this outright…it’s a slap in the face to them and us.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:40 pmveritas…
you can’t debate politics without knowing history. the fact that you want to piss on history while debating history shows your lack of education and understanding of the real world. I would suggest that you take off the tin foil hat you are wearing and start living in reality kid.

March 20th, 2007 at 3:41 pmFrom the White House via TPM:
*THE PRESIDENT WILL MAKE A STATEMENT ON THE U.S. ATTORNEY MATTER SHORTLY AFTER RETURNING FROM KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI AT 5:45 PM, EDT, TODAY, MARCH 20, 2007, IN THE DIPLOMATIC RECEPTION ROOM
March 20th, 2007 at 3:41 pmI’m excited to see that there are some repugs out there who have enough presence of mind to recognize this constitutional crisis (Conservative Coalition for Presidential Abuse) who will bring forth these articles of impeachment if this democratic congress drags it’s feet. Today Fein had a list on ten which he presented on CSpan. I know John Conyers has about 14 right now which have been researched and verified. I believe this is a positive thing to see Republicans ditching their party of corruption and creating another movement – or party – they’ve invited all presidential candidates to sign their mission statement and one did today. This will probably take root since the time is ripe for sweeping change.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:41 pm#103 – Funny you should bring up the constitution. Bush considers it “just a piece of paper†and had tried to subvert it whenever it was in the way of his goals. Failure to uphold the constitution as his oath of office requires could easily be one of myriad grounds for impeachment.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:41 pmThanks, “Watergate” Fred. But no thanks. Subpoena’s in the mail.

March 20th, 2007 at 3:42 pm#70 I believe Marston was a late appointment by Ford and his 4 years were up during the middle of Carter’s term. He was not fired before the end of his term. Go look it up it’s one of those reality based fact thingy’s you don’t get on faux news.
#93 the surge may appear to be working due to timing. You see every year January through March have been down times for the violence. Lets see how things go in April. Also has the surge led to more Iraqi troops actually standing up? I mean we were supposed to stand down as the stood up. When they had 200,000 troops trained (a talking point of republicans) none of our troops stood down. Now they are supposed to be taking more of the burden in Baghdad, yet we are sending more troops? I don’t get it, how will they ever take control of their own country if we keep adding to what we are doing for them? Was the president wrong when hhe said that was the strategy?
Getting these people under oath is not the problem. Lying to congress is against the law whether you are under oath or not. The problem is that they want no transcripts and to hold the hearings in secret. That way there is no official record to call them on should they choose to lie.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:42 pm#113 By George, I think you’re right! If this weren’t such a big deal we wouldn’t be inundated with this crap. Look at them squirm!

March 20th, 2007 at 3:43 pmOnce Rove and Meiers hopelessly tangle themselves up in their web of lies, then Cheney and Bush can come on down and entangle themselves as well.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:43 pmThis could be the start of something beautiful.
Do you all realize that Bush’s history connects him to Hitler? Prescott supplied all the money Hitler needed to “get things going” and now his grandson (are little Bush) is nearly at his 1st million dead in Iraq.

Comment by RUCerious
Panic has set in, but they’re still getting entirely too much attention here. When training a dog, for instance, it’s important to avert your attention when they misbehave and only acknowledge them when the behavior is good. Trolls probably just leave when they’re denied attention, but I’d sure like to test that theory. Hard to get everyone on board, though, because so many of the troll posts are infuriatingly stupid and repetitive. On some level, most of us think that we could get through to the tiny troll brain if only we phrased things in just the right way.
Can’t be done. It’s like stuffing a Hummer into a pebble.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:43 pm#113 You can probably tell the weather, too, by troll detritus on the threads. When the national discussion gets frenzied against this administration as it has today, they’re out like cockroaches. Maybe we should start seeing if we can differentiate the paid trolls from the pedestrian trolls. A good place to begin is in their ability to think logically and the grammar they use in presenting their opines.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:43 pmThe White House is beginning to find out that this Congress is not Republican controlled.
The ONLY reason for secret hearing, NOT under oath, with NO transcripts is for window dressing to save the administration’s butt.
It is absolutely meaningless.
Does the White House think that Meirs and Rove are going to go into those hearings and say the President did this to obstruct justice? They simply want a way to keep Meirs and Rove and the rest of the cabal out of prison.
Ah. Real oversight is SO wonderful.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:44 pm“Why should Rove and Meirs play a part in Schumer’s circus?”
Because they have played with Bush’s circus and it’s time to rip down the big top.
“most of this liberlas still carry Mao Tsung little red book, they love it and worship over the Constitution.”
What a sad human being to say shit like this.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:44 pmJust like the Libby Trial, the mere resistance of this president to allow Rove and Miers to testify is an “unofficial impeachment of his presidency” – in the minds of the american people, he cannot now be trusted.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:44 pm“I said to [President Washington] that if the equilibrium of the three great bodies, Legislative, Executive and Judiciary, could be preserved, if the Legislature could be kept independent, I should never fear the result of such a government; but that I could not but be uneasy when I saw that the Executive had swallowed up the Legislative branch.” –Thomas Jefferson: The Anas, 1792.

Anyhow aren’t republicans the ones who seem willing to surrender civil rights under the guise of if you have nothing to hide, then these intrusions into your rights should not matter. So if Rove and Meirs have nothing to hide, why the stringent conditions on their testimony? Why the fight to keep them anonymous and off the record?
March 20th, 2007 at 3:47 pmBesides, getting enough public opinion for Bush’s impeachment can be do handily with his numbers barely breaking the 30% mark these days. After people see another illustration of his obstinacy and grab for absolute power today, those numbers will drop even more.

I can’t imagine how they’ll spin 9/11 into this, but I trust in the imagination of Dick Cheney that they’ll come up with something.
Or, like Cheney and the Energy Task Force, they’ll just say no. It would take two years to sort it out in the courts, ending in the Alito SCOTUS, so what do they have to worry about? They’ll be out in Crawford cutting brush and shooting old guys.

where is the exchange of different point of views liberals?
anyway, this site along with most other liberal site is a hate fest against Bush, Conservatives and Republicans.

You’ll be fine with the Attorney General issuing subpoenas for Patrick Lehey and any other Congressman suspected of leaking classified information then, right?
1) Why would he? He doesn’t seem too concerned when someone in the White House does it. 2) If he had a valid reason to do it, he should. But, being on the verge of losing his job and possibly shouldering a grudge against Leahy would make this an unlikely time for him to suddenly want to do that. Lovely shade of red, that herring.
BTW: which Army is Congress going to use to enforce their subpoenas?
Probably the one that’s sick and tired of being horsef*cked by the White House. Actually, if it comes down to that kind of resistance from the administration, it’s time to bring up articles of impeachment against members of the administration or the president himself.

A study funded by the US government has concluded that conservatism can be explained psychologically as a set of neuroses rooted in “fear and aggression, dogmatism and the intolerance of ambiguity”.
As if that was not enough to get Republican blood boiling, the report’s four authors linked Hitler, Mussolini, Ronald Reagan and the rightwing talkshow host, Rush Limbaugh, arguing they all suffered from the same affliction.
Seems the ‘conservative hate syndrome’ [CHS] is part of a goverment study.

Jake, the 70 somethingish know nothing who even at her advanced age has no clue as to the three-branch separate-but-equal power structure that is our government. What a farce.
Then there is Patrick(IQ of)1 who holds the mindset that everything is legal unless you get caught. Patsy is desperately seeking a dictator to follow and serve. Good luck to you there Patsy.
And finally, Flaco, who throws out absurdity after absurdity just to get whatever attention she can because she is so starving from the lack of it. She’s probably married to a Neocon player who spends all their free time in third world countries paying for boy sex.
Every one of them has no apparent knowledge of or respect for the Constitution. They probably agree with GWB that it’s just a goddammed piece of paper.
It is funny, though, to watch this pathetic trio twist and turn in various contortions now that congress is beginning to exercise its strength as a separate but equal power in our government. They long for the cowardly days of Frist and DeLay when congress just did whatever the executive branch told it to do.
Sorry girls, but the times, they are a changin’.

Too bad you didn’t get your brain at Costco, you could take it back for a full refund, no questions asked.
March 20th, 2007 at 4:33 pm#156 I am in favor of anyone who has serious suspicion of wrong doing being investigated. So if Leahey or any other congressman appears to be doing something wrong, they need to be looked at.
As tot he separation of powers comment, please do educate me. As I see it each branch has it’s powers spelled out for them and each branch is to check and balance the others. The president has his veto power and appointment powers which can both check congress and set the courts. The courts have their review powers and congress has the right to impeach etc… which can not start without investigation and congress has the subpoena power. Are you implying that congress has no right to subpoena anyone from the white house? Too late the precedent has been set, and the founders intended that they have the power.
As to your last comment about what army is congress going to use. Well they have the rule of law, should the white house choose to ignore the rule of law then our country is in sad shape. Should people such as yourself support the white house ignoring the rule of law then it is worse than I thought. Of course law enforcement agencies and the courts have to back congress, even though you apparently don’t think so. Did you think that way during the 1990’s?
#160 do you feel that not guilty until proven innocent applies to anyone we hold prisoner? Does everyone deserve their day in court? Or does this only apply to republicans?
I’ve said all along that it is amazing that so many republicans are going down in high profile cases at a time when they control the courts and all three branches of government. Imagine how many would be going down if there were not 85 US Attorney’s out there acting in a manner that is politically acceptable to the white house?
March 20th, 2007 at 4:33 pmLOL! This is so damned transparent.
OF COURSE THEY DON’T WANT TO GIVE TESTIMONY UNDER OATH.

March 20th, 2007 at 4:34 pmJake, how does one “register” independent? Do you have a membership card to the “Independent” party? Are their dues? Name some of the prominent members of this Indepent party to which you’ve “registered.” Since this is impossible, registering for a non-existent party, I suspect it’s to hide your true affiliation. Of course, since this would make your claim a LIE it proves, ipso facto, that you are indeed a Republican, for lies are mother’s milk of Trolls.

March 20th, 2007 at 4:37 pmBush has made the offer to have Miers and Rove testify (behind door, unsworn) so the table is already set. To say at this point he can exact executive privilege is beside the fact and a little late. Besides, Congress does have the right to issue subpoena and demand thier testimony. Congress seems so pissed off, I think they will not back down for whatever the reason. Bush’s arrogance, be damned! This is gonna be one week for the history books, and we’re living it.

You don’t have any idea as to how the systems works as this statement shows very clearly. First you get a subeona, the you tell your version of the truth, then we all find out if a law has been broken. Those of us with functioning grey matter can see that things aren’t adding up.
If no law has been broken then testimony under oath with show this.

March 20th, 2007 at 4:57 pmLibby is an example of criminal activity within the Bush administration Cynicon. That’s a fact. Another fact is that a covert agent’s identity was released by someone in the White House. It hasn’t been prosecuted yet but it is still criminal. In time we’ll get to the yellow cake, aluminum tubes, mobile labs and the like but for now it’s a good start.

Hey Regressives,
Chuck is such a poser. No wonder u guys cannot get anything done.
Hey, Flaccid, how bad does that make your party look, then? They never did anything when they were in power and they’re doing even less now.
If you really thought that ‘us guys’ couldn’t get anything done, you wouldn’t be over here trying so desperately to convince us of that. You’re deathly afraid that Schumer and Leahy ARE getting something done. And, you’re right to be.

U used the “T†word. Regressives do not like the “T†word. Please refrain for using.
Comment by Flaco
I’m sorry! I hope I didn’t hurt you. I promise to warn you next time so you can take a break from your keyboard and protect yourself. Should I use a code like “T” so your brain doesn’t have to take in too much of that word/concept? Or is that maybe too much? How about if I just start my post with “W” (you know, for “warning”). Would that help.

Comment by Jake
If they are innocent, they should have no fear of testifying under oath and with transcripts.
Don’t you repugs all say if you’re not doing anything illegal, they govt. can look at your mail and monitor your phone. So, if they are not doing anything illegal, they must say so under oath.
March 20th, 2007 at 5:01 pmgummitch says that being reasonable is irritating — and it seems that being stupid is equally irritating, so what gives?
Comment by Cynicon Implant
Reading comprehension is important. I said “pretending to be reasonable”. By which I mean, not barking and foaming about Jesus and faggots and cowards, but pretending to be “independent” while mindlessly repeating neocon b.s., never allowing actual evidence of facts to derail their blathering.
Clear?
March 20th, 2007 at 5:03 pm…they’re still getting entirely too much attention here. When training a dog, for instance, it’s important to avert your attention when they misbehave and only acknowledge them when the behavior is good. Trolls probably just leave when they’re denied attention, but I’d sure like to test that theory.

Ding, Ding, Ding!! We have a winner for today’s most ridiculous post. You think going against a Republican’s left-leaning views makes you an Independent? ROTFL.
March 20th, 2007 at 5:05 pmJake, how does one “register†independent? Do you have a membership card to the “Independent†party? Are their dues? Name some of the prominent members of this Indepent party to which you’ve “registered.†Since this is impossible, registering for a non-existent party, I suspect it’s to hide your true affiliation. Of course, since this would make your claim a LIE it proves, ipso facto, that you are indeed a Republican, for lies are mother’s milk of Trolls.
Comment by Chadwick
I don’t know what state (other than a clearly befuddled state of mind), Jake lives in, but in Oregon a voter can register as a member of any party or as an independent. Got a little check box and everything.
Doesn’t mean he’s not a troll, because all of his posts dribble right out of the Republican rectum, but that teeny portion of what he’s written is not necessarily a “lie”.

Oh wow, that’s really bold. Considering that the whole Republican party disagrees with McCain on Campaign Finance Reform and Giuliani on abortion, gay rights, and gun control, you just made my point.
March 20th, 2007 at 5:09 pmThere’s got to be a transcript. How can it be torn apart by the volunteers on the blogs if the testimony isn’t written down?

Even if Cheney and Bush get off, they are EVIL coxucker PUNKS and

The Independent party is a party. Fitzgerald I think registered as one once, then un-registered. Some of the Independents today, such as Michael Savage, blow them all up and kill them kinda guy is an Independent. The Worldnut daily site also calls itself independent. (which promotes Savages books) Savage has some 5 million radical followers. Jake kind of reminds me of a Savage fan.

Notice how none of these moonbats have been told by the left that Senate Democrats were caught trying to influence the DOJ investigation when it came to the whole Plame thing. Senators sending letters whinning about why Fitzgerald hadn’t indicted anyone, etc, etc. freaking liberal moonbats.
most of these poor liberals will repeate the DNC and Liberal talkings points. to them if “information” is not given tot hem by these they won’t believe it or know about it.
notice how they have no problem insulting anyone on the right that comes in here, but they whine like little girls when you turn the insults on them.
poor children of the left. They should be rejoicing and happy that by a tiny, slim margin, Democrats control Congress. Or are they so unsure of their own politicians that they believe that spewnig hate and lies it will get them somewhere?

Unhinged would be people like you who vote in such pedophiles and freakshow perverts and hypocrites. Lets not forget that this Culture of Corruption is a Republican Conservative one. You say your for small government yet it has grown 35% under your side.
It seems your too slow an inept to recognize how duped you and your fanatical religious types are. As well you cannot realize the fact that your brianwashed by media framing. You actually work to help cloak corruption while thinking your actually helpful. No wonder so many pedophiles gravitate to your side. No wonder Rush is a drug addict your too stupid to recognize that your being used and you only listen to those racist idiots because you agree with him. How Godless and morally bankrupt do you have to be to listen to the insanity of Coulter and Rush and then rationalize that hate speak with Jesus.
March 20th, 2007 at 5:32 pmArnold: Rush
‘is irrelevant’
Governor dismisses critics who call him
‘Democrat pretending to be a Republican’
–WND
Like this crappola over at WND. So is Rush a better Republican than Arnold? A drug addict is more republican than a womanizer?
March 20th, 2007 at 5:33 pmShe’s under investigation? Do Tell……. What is she being investigated for?
March 20th, 2007 at 5:34 pmSo, TELL US about “Valerie Plame being under investigation”!!

Oh, and no transcript that might be reviewed on judgment day.
Mr. Bush will wipe his arse with your face……

March 20th, 2007 at 5:40 pmflaco these poor Cons, don’t even realize how many pedophiles and womanizers they elected.
These poor cons talk about their tax money while Bush loses 8 billion in Iraq. There are so morallly bankrupt they think a drug addict like Rush is really a CON. They will be indebted up to their eyeballs and create a fascist form of government while thinking they are doing the lords work.
They think because they say that they have family values it makes it true. Newt was just as much or more of an adulterer than Bill, in fact Newt carried his affair on longer than Bill.
Foley, another Republican cloakinh himself under a word liked 16 year old boys, where is the family values? Where? Neil Bush had affairs with three women while married, where are the values? Rudy has been married several times as well.
A recent Promise keepers survey shows 40% of the CONS to be addicted to pornography, where are the Values? Ted Haggard was a meth user and a closet homosexual that cheated on his wife and could have possibly given her aids, where I ask is the morals?
What about Safavian, what about Foggo limos and prostitutes Flaco?

Why are there so many chickenhawks that are cons? Why does Cheney have two DUIS and George one? Why do the CONS lie about yellow cake and mushroom clouds, why do they lie about WMD? Why do the spend millions on smear then don’t equip the troops? Why don’t they fix Walter Reed?

March 20th, 2007 at 6:01 pmHow does Schumer think it is ok for him to call out political officials for interfering with on going investigations when he is on record doing the very same thing? At least the Dems could have picked someone who wouldn’t look like a complete hypocrit. This is a man who wrote to the justice department demanding they do things on his time frame. Furthemore, he demanded information about an ongoing investigation even though that isn’t legal. Lastly, he used his political power to attempt to force how the investigation went. While all this stuff is dirty nasty stuff, didn’t he realize that when he called others out for doing it, he may look pretty bad? By Schumers standards, the Dems should be investigating him. I understand this crowd believes the Dems are above corruptions and are the party that is cleaning up Washington. With that said, I can only assume TP will be demanding the Dems investigate Schumer publicy. I also assume TP will demand the Dems ask for all Schumer interoffice communications and demand to speak with all his staffers ASAP. I’ll be waiting for that announcement TP since this is the standard you have set. You wouldn’t want to look like a hypocrit like Schumer, right?

Addiction doesn’t care what political Ideology one follows babbling buffoon. Why do you allow some pundit to reverse your logic? If one Democrat is an addict then all Democrats are addicts correct?
If then one CON is an addict then all CONS are addicts correct?

If Cheney drove drunk then all CONS drive drunk.
If Foley was immoral then all CONS are immoral.

I’ve been to China, and the little red book isn’t even carried around there any more–let alone by some of the American liberals here who were born after or just children when Mao Zedong died in 1976. Howsad it must be to be as biased as you are.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the last I heard Harriet Miers no longer worked for Bush so I can’t see how he can refuse to allow her to testify. Subpoena her. And Subpoena Rove while you are at it. And if Bush puts up a fight, then fight back.
Tell me trolls, why would you object to Rove and Miers testifying under oath if they did nothing wrong?
March 21st, 2007 at 1:25 amAdd to Kate Henry’s question in #308, Hey, Trolls: Didn’t you guys always defend warantless wiretapping by saying something like “Why worry if you’ve done nothing wrong?” Well, if Miers, Rove, etc. have done nothing wrong, why should they worry about testifying under oath and/or with transcripts?
