quincy:
I don't speak for Agnostic but for one the Valery Plame affair. He released classified information to people that were not authorized to have it (as a matter of fact I am not sure he was even allowed to know it, but I could be wrong). Just because it is difficult to convict oder that provision does not mean he did not commit the crime. The firing of US Attorneys for another (ongoing investigation).
I am sure you will agree that this administration has not be what you would call "open" so I will reserve the remainder of my time for when/if we learn more.

I hope they cook his goose.

I am an American. I believe in Open Government. I believe that Congress, the people's representatives, my representatives, have the right to inquire.

Karl Rove, with the acquiesence and support of our President, along with other LACKEYS, have severely damaged our country, in the name of PATRIOTISM and in the name of GOD.

I hope that the DEMS do the right thing and continue these investigations into the next term.

WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BUSH WHITE HOUSE.

Let's get PRESIDENT CHENEY NEXT.

I think Executive Priviledge holds true even after an administration is out of office, or can someone more informed correct me?
If it were not true, then I would have suspected more of Pres. Clinton's aides to have been called to testify after Pres. Bush came into office, but since it did not happen, that's why I think the priviledge holds on.

Frank,

No son, it is not about who got fired, it is about those who didn't and performed a bunch of dirty work for Rove

Warner Todd Huston: (what a fantastic Republican name) I think that has been Rove's MO thus far. If it continues, he may be waterboarded, right?

John Right,
Exec privilege resides with the president in office (as opposed to national securty which transcends administrations). The reason Congress did not go after Clinton administration people was 1) Dems held Senate 2)would have been seen as "bad pool" after the Bush v. Gore decision 3) Reps had put all their (or most of them anyway) eggs in Clintons basket when he was gone so was the thorn in their side (to mix metaphors.)
The potential difference after November is 1) the likely trouncing the Reps are going to take 2) the large number of potential actors that can be called to carpet (VP, Rove, Rumsfeld, bunch of folks at the DOJ to name a few).

Saying that Dems could go after some or all of these people is not saying that they will. They might do the math and figure it is not worth the effort. Once in power what is the point.

Did any of the other Admn. people testify? Aren't these rules just for those of us who aren't above the law, and not the executive branch? Most likely the Fox crowd will get a good laugh out of this and that's the last we'll hear of it.

Bingbong,
Would you be more content if I reference one of the David's from American Idol last night?

“An oligarchy is said to be that in which the few and the wealthy, and a democracy that in which the many and the poor are the rulers” edgy enough? (Hint: not one of the Davids)

The 5th. amen. will take a beating on July 10th.

You all are getting played, big time. You are The Rabble. The Democrats in congress issued this subpoena as political theatre. They know it, Rove knows it, everybody but The Ignorant Masses knows it.

They know that the firing of AGs was neither unusual or illegal. Bush could have fired them because he didn't like their socks.

WRT Don Seigelman, that whole thing is a farce as far as Rove's involvement is concerned. That the media repeated the nonsensical stories of this supposed "Republican Operative" without first doing the most basic of investigation into her story is telling.

So, by all means, get yourselves all worked up into a good lather, dummies. It amounts to nothing, as everyone in congress already knows.

"The dog barks, but the caravan moves on."

What has held the complicit Democrats back for so long? They received the mandate for change from the American people over a year and a half ago, and we have not seen anything we asked for. I guess they're running down the clock and justice will turn a blind eye on the criminal regime running things right now. It's kinnda frustrating not having any relief from the oppressive fascism taking hold, and the liars we vote in have taken impeachment off the table.

It's so sad that a nation of one people can divide over party lines. You'd think the Democrats and Republicans were North Korea and South Korea; North Vietnam, South Vietnam; the boys' club and the girls' club. Why can't we all be one, be team players and come up with the best strategy to fix the problems. Having the dems and repubs fighting all the time and trying to one up the other reminds me of spoiled brats out on the school yard.

Kim- good point.

Way to go!!! Rep. Conyers. I like you!!!

Rove has and continues to say all kinds of things about senator Obama; it's his desire, along with his sidekick, Sean Hannity to see that senator Obama don't win the White House.....So, Mr. Rove: now you should not spew out so much against the senator running for prez.....that's what you get for involving your tactics over the top....It's your turn to be called on the carpet bud.....

So what if it was political or when it occurred? It's the presidents RIGHT to do it when and where he wants. That is NOT illegal. Suck it up libtards. No jail for Rove today. Must suck to be so full of hatred all the time.

STEVE:
You are correct that a (new) president lets the US Attorneys go who served during the previous presidency. However, the midterm dismissal of seven United States Attorneys on December 7, 2006 by the George W. Bush administration's Department of Justice was unprecedented. Bush was dismissing attorneys who he had appointed and had been approved by the Senate 4 years earlier. It appeared that the Department of Justice and the White House were using the U.S. Attorney positions for political advantage. That is against the law. Allegations were that some of the attorneys were targeted for dismissal to disrupt investigations of Republican politicians. And some attorneys were targeted for their (failure) to initiate investigations that would damage Democratic politicians or hamper Democratic-leaning voters.
Critics say that the scandal had undermined both the integrity of the Department of Justice and the nonpartisan tradition of U.S. Attorneys.

Hmm, sure looks like the administration and their cronies were breaking the law, but when we have people with the answers refusing to answer, they have to be subpoenaed to get to the bottom of what was going on. Imagine that!

Appropriate Rovian philosophy, attack the messenger not the message.

I'm not keeping track, if it turns out that congressional subpoena trumps executive privelege, will that be the first loss on this score for Cheney and his minions?

BUSH< ROVE< CHENEY.

TRAITORS TO THE UNITED STATES.
