Townsend: fear of subpoenas ‘crippling’ White House.

In an interview with the NY Times, President Bush’s outgoing homeland security aide Francis Fragos Townsend said she was concerned about “the acrimony” that hangs over Bush’s last year in office. “I find it both offensive and crippling,” she said. “When both career people and political people are worried about getting subpoenaed, it’s hard to get a lot accomplished.” Steve Benen responds, “Oh, those poor, poor White House officials. If only Congress would go back to ignoring the administration’s scandalous, sometimes criminal, behavior, the president and his aides would find it much easier to go about their business without the fear of accountability.”

    If only those subpoenas ever amounted to anything. I swear, to get the public’s reaction to any testimony the white house gives, Bush himself would have to rape a dog on the white house lawn in a dress. And even then, the KGB, er, RNC would cast it off as stress from being such a great defender of freedom -_-


  2. Jackie says:

    Satan can only rule for so long. For the past 7 years the White House and staff with the GOP Law Makers
    have been openly committing crimes while using
    the Republican Christian Right. Yes the Pastors are
    lining their pockets and lying to all those who think
    their praying to God. As we’re seen God has not
    blessed America since Bush/Cheney took office.
    As those who have woke up from the lie, let’s hope
    God does forgive Americans for following Satan.
    With his blessing and support the White House
    will be brought down and the rest of the GOP
    criminals with them. Make that your Christmas
    prayer.

    I know that we have our head wrapped around this war but please don’t forget the elderly this Christmas. While they may not be war heroes or soilders, they are our parents and the people to pave the way for us.

    I feel I have given enough to this war and that America has abandoned the elderly.
    I see it everyday of my life.

    Pro Tip,

    Felons are supposed to fear subpoenas.

    What is it again that the administration has been saying about wiretapping? Oh, yes. That’s it. If you aren’t doing anything wrong…

    We now resume our regular programming.


  11. Philly Boy says:

    There’s an easy way to not to have to worry about being subpoenaed: Don’t break the law.


  12. spyder says:

    I am not sure it takes all that much effort to ignore all of the subpoenas that they have so far. If they are worried, then i suppose she is suggesting that someone is going to be made a scapegoat for refusing to comply with the dozens of requests, subpoenas, and FOIAs. They have so much yet to destroy don’t they???

  16. rollotomasi says:

    Ms. Townsend is unintentionally expressing how much of the administration’s time and our taxpayer dollars are now going to cover up their incompetence and lawbreaking, and further exposing their completely self-centered arrogance about it. It’s ironic that a lot of these subpoenas of which Ms. Townsend complains are about the administration not doing what the taxpayers were paying them to do in the first place. As Pres. Bush would undoubtedly agree, “Covering up is hard work.”

    Ms. Townsend should also note, as they did at the Carpetbagger report,

    Before the Republicans took control of Congress in 1995, congressional authority to issue subpoenas was viewed as a serious power to be exercised judiciously. From at least as far back as the McCarthy era in the 1950s to the Republican takeover in 1995, no Democratic committee chairman issued a subpoena without either consent from the minority or a committee vote. This long-standing tradition of restraint was abandoned, however, during the congressional investigations of the Clinton Administration.

    Oh poor Frankie — cry baby. I think you and the rest of the Bushies are beyond being offensive. I also note you said that you stayed out of the fray because Bushie didn’t want you involved in “partisan politics.” Very interesting comment and says a lot.
    Whatever is happening to these a**holes now is more than richly deserved.


  19. Duck Soup says:

    Funny how when you and the people you work with break the law those darn subpoenas come in. How inconvenient. We should just ignore all these scandals by the Fox Republicans like we should have ignored Watergate. And I’ve got this great bridge to sell you that connects Manhattan and Brooklyn. It is over a hundred years old . . .


  20. rockyroad says:

    The beauty of Bush is the gift that just keeps giving.

    The decider decided that the Constitution is toilet paper. He decided that, never having served, lives lost in Iraq, rehabilitate his father’s debacle (mind you, his father had none, he has a monster), the decider would be nothing if he drank whisky . . . but downing a brew or two ain’t a problem when a “recovering alcoholic is making decisions about bombing Iran,” too much to go into . . . but one way or another . . .

    As a nation, we are facing the biggest financial meltdown since the depression . . . “It will make ‘29 look like a burp.”

    Sh-t. Twenty-nine like a burp.

  22. rockyroad says:

    Maybe we’re barking up the wrong tree. In order to get the investigations of Cheney and Bush that we all want so much, and that Pelosi is blocking, perhaps, we should first investigate Pelosi.

    Pelosi is the great stumbling block. I’m an independent and actually support her leadership, but I have serious doubts about her leadership. Investigate her first and quickly. She is truly the stumbling block. Why?


  23. 1st Republic 14th Star says:

    Jesus, isn’t a central tenet of the Bush administration’s war on terrorism that if you’re not guilty, you should have no problem with someone secretly looking into your phone calls, e-mails, the books you buy and borrow, etc.? Well, then I have to ask — if Townsend and her fellow “loyal Bushies” have done nothing wrong, then why do they fear oversight?

    In a trial, Townsend’s words and actions would be considered “consciousness of guilt” and could be used to demonstrate that she had actually committed a criminal act.


  24. Brain From Planet Arous says:

    Ms. Townsend, who in her handwritten resignation letter compared Mr. Bush to George Washington

    Now let’s see?………….They have the same first name…………………………….

    Bush has been compared to Washington, Hitler, Churchill, Satan, Nixon, Jesus, Rutherford B Hayes, Trotsky, Giuliani, and a drunken bartender…er….drunken barroom patron.

    A word to those checking the leadership . . . . in the ne year . . . things we don’t care about:

    #1 Wrong doings by family members;

    #2 Wrong doings that have to do with personal failings (divorce, DUI, smoking weed, listening to rock, being human);

    #3 Statements to the effect that, “I worry that my grand kids will never have trees to hug.”

    Things that should share the be-Jesus out of you:

    Many more repeated similar sentiments. Thanks and happy holidays to all.

    I could not agree more. When it comes to erosion of civil liberties by the Bush administration the litany of excuses from the right proclaim that if one has done nothing wrong they have nothing to fear. So why is the right so challenged at the prospect of abiding by the same strictures?

    We find it offensive and crippling to our nation to have both career people and political people who have performed criminal acts in their jobs, and have to be subpoenad to force them to tell the damn truth about their malfeasances.

    bush directs all the administration people to ignore Congressional subpoenas anyway, so this can be nothing but crocodile tears.

  37. osage says:

    How can a White House administration composed of loyal Bushies who have faithfully “followed orders” and who have fully believed in the virtuous and honorable actions and policies of “The Decider” suddenly feel it’s necessary to worry about legitimate oversight? Do they believe they did something illegal and have something to hide? Do they believe Mr. Bush and or Mr. Cheney would be angry with them if they had to provide truthful testimony about what they did? Do they believe the Bush Republican Party would abandon them to fend for themselves after years of steadfast unquestioning service? Or do they believe they now must answer for “their” actions in a “legal” arena where the rules of law take precedence over the spin, lies and cover-ups that have protected them in a political arena? What’s crippling them is the fear of legitimate accountability that will force them to answer to the rules and prescribed consequences of law that all other Americans are required to live and perform by.


  38. gus smith says:

    To Reid, Pelosi and all the Gang,

    See, the White House is paralyzed by the fear of supoenas. Just the opposite of your fears. Proper oversight and threat of investigation has a positive effect for the country. They are like children who need guidance and supervision. Bring it on.


  39. DallasNE says:

    I don’t understand Townsend’s concern regarding a subpoena. Some in the Whitehouse have simply refused to show up as requested. Nearly all of the others have had some kind of states secret blanket thrown over their testimony. I don’t recall is another good hedge. So, what is Townsend’s fear all about. Is she looking ahead to 2009?

    Yeah, it does preoccupy one’s thinking if one expects to be subpoenaed to testify about secretive criminal activity at the highet levels of government.
    So what does Ms. Townsend want for Christmas — that these nasty committees would ignore the cabal in the White House and just leave them alone to continue their destruction of the Constitution; the supression of the middle class, the negligence of the poor and the sick, the elderly and the children; the swaggering of American authority worldwide; the refusal to cooperate with other nations in eliminating global warming; and their damnable arrrogance in all things.
    Well, Frances, you may see your wishes in fact, at least for now, but the day is coming when justice will prevail.

    In a real world and not Bizarro World, the race in 2008 would be Ron Paul vs Dennis Kucinich. They don’t have enough dirt, a rock jaw, be able to say “911″ over and over, are an AIPAC female, war posturing Black Man, fundamentalist crackpot, a tortured sad Vietnam Vet, or a grade-c actor. The corporate and government run media is going to put Hillary vs Mitt, regardless of what We The People want. Who would ever think that the two staunchest defenders of The Constitution, Paul and Kucinich, would be relegated to a “fringe” zone, created by defense, oil, and pharmaceuticals?

    He will NOT allow impeachment hearings to take place.

    Conyers knows that Pelosi will undercut the efforts of impeachment rather than helping to build a bi-partisan coalition to impeach.

    Conyers knows that Pelosi will again be Speaker of the House next year and she will take him off the Judiciary Committee if he goes against her wishes. It’s a “lose-lose” for him and impeachment.

    Let’s help him and the rest of the members of the House of Representatives by removing an obstructionist Speaker. It can be done and must be done to start the impeachment process.

    The Bushit’s people are not the least bit concerned with subpoenas as long as they have the notion that they are immuned from being jailed. Fear of going to prison is mute as long as pretty boy George has the poison Pardon Pen.


  67. rockyroad says:

    Alright folks,

    Time to take charge . . . no more pussy-footing.

    If not Pelosi . . . then who?

    Subpoenas clearly are not enough . . . we don’t need them issued . . . we need them enforced!

    Pelosi won’t enforce . . . Franie is wailing but insufficently frightened . . . no one is frightened . . . like the Constitution, these folks consider subpoenas a paper tiger . . .

    Regroup . . . let’s show these poli-props that our Constitution and laws have teeth.

    Who to replace Pelosi and police the foxes guarding the hen house.

    Your suggestions . . . demand follow through.


  68. rockyroad says:

    Maybe someone with a clean slate.

    Obama comes to mind. Fitsgerald? Someone with presidential ambitions who hasn’t landed on the political landscape just yet . . . who isn’t to tainted but has a prosecutorial bend.

    Bill Ritter perhaps. I don’t know, but perhaps you do. We need to scout the landscape. Who?

  70. ucsbclassics53 says:

    you know maybe she should talk to the Clinton administration officials who also worried about excessive subpoenas…


  71. rockyroad says:

    As the year comes to closure and we recognized the failures and successes of the past year, let’s truly do it:

    Success:

    Dems take over the House;

    Dems and Indepents have an oppportunity to subpoena records to uncover Bush Adm deception;

    Courts decide that White House records regarding the comings and goings are public record and subject to the Freedom of Information Act;

    Armed Services members come forward and disclose that the line of BS we’ve been served regarding “intelligence”, Iraq, and prisoner interrogation is false;

    We’ve discovered that Pelosi has a separate agenda that has nothing to do with transparency and government clean up’;

    We’ve discovered that tying your dog to the top of your minivan and having it shit itself alll over doors and winddows is just standaard family vacation in the Rominy family.

    We’ve discovered that I am a complete radical, worthy of wire tapping because I am a card carrying member of the American Civil Liberties Union, because I belong to the John Muir Society, because I would rather fall off Half Dome with a parachute than attend a wedding party at the White Hoouse for a kid that’s been stopped more than four timesi but never charged . . . . I am an American . . . not perfect, but nice.

    Off point:

    Will Smith, perhaps a tad on point because he and his wife did sleep in the Linclon bedroom.

    Hell, this is a little freaky, even for me.

    Smith is joined at the hip with Tom Crusie. Smith did sleep in the Linclon bedroom. Cruise is a freakin toon. Smith is on a crusade to promote Cruises’s movie about Hitler. Smith says that Hitler is misunderstood and is not such a bad man. My family members were killed.

    In 2000, I visited a palace wher my Hugenaught ancestors were skinned and hung…you suck. My ancestors fled to America . . .you and yours fled into a state of denial . . .my ancestors bred with indians . . . you and yours killed me and mine in a state of fear and terror.
    We’re past the tipping point. . . . dominos are falling.
