This man obviously has no respect for the department he serves or the American citizens.

Go after him Senator Leahy, like a pit bull!

The Dems can issue subpoenas like crazy, but if the Bushies say Fuck you and do not honor them, which I think is likely, then it will end up in court for a long long time…..do you really think they’ll be held in contempt of congress? I doubt it. Regarding maunga@49’s comment that destroying evidence is illegal, that’s SOP for this administration and THEY decide what is legal (at least that’s what they think).

I hope I’m wrong, but then I naively thought Rover would be indicted for Plamegate and since have gotten a lot more skeptical and bitter

The bottom line on this, the absolute first thing to remember is this: We still don’t know the truth of Bush pere’s role in Iran-Contra because he chose to pardon his co-conspirator Weinberger shortly before the latter’s trial began.

So anyone who is holding her breath about learning all the Rasputinish machinations of this criminal administration is going to turn blue and die first.

Personally, I’m gonna be hooked up to tubes and kept alive until all the information that was presented to the Warren Commission is released.

“At the hearing last Thursday and again in a letter dated April 25th, I asked you whether you would provide…”

“Last Thursday” was April 26th, the day after the letter that is cited in the sentence as a follow-up event. But the Gonzales hearing being referenced was in fact held on Thursday, April 19th (two Thursdays ago). Why didn’t the Senate staff simply specify the hearing date of 4/19, instead of using the imprecise and inaccurate formulation of “last Thursday” in the very first sentence of this very important communication to the Attorney General?? I’ve noticed this same carelessness in other recent Senate requests to the administration. I don’t think that sort of confusion helps the recipient(s) to take the communication as seriously as it deserves to be taken.

Copied to or Blind CC because with an email it does not matter if you are the To, CC, or BCC – it arrives in your inbox.

I should not be surprised to find that the RNC e-mail system was configured to send Mr. Rove subject line summaries of all mail passing through it for certain individuals. It would seem to be in Rove’s character to take advantage of such a data-mining operation.

Too bad this line of questioning is not being explored.

I’m interested in hoiw Congress can enforce contempt of Congress by using the Sargeant of Arms? Does the S-O-A have deputies that can physically go over and arrest someone? Or does the jurisdiction run to only the Halls of Congress? Do they automatically get arrest and extradition by cooperating police Departments? Do they lock people in the Congressional Cloak Room until they cooperate?

There is a jail with 2 cells I am told.

– The ‘queen bee’ here is ROVE, the ROSEY.

As in?
Rosey you’re all right
You wear my ring
When you hold me tight
Rosey that’s my thing
When I turn off the light
I’ve got to hand it to me
Looks like it’s you and me again tonight
Rosey

You mean that Rosey?

–Well, its good to have a reply to make. I mean if Rove — who strikes me as the queen of this Republic hive — is taken down and out — they all will dissappear. Not familiar with any other Rosey– just picked it… /

Yah but! Putting the hard drives in a crusher and fire is verey seriously illegal, and the commercial company just might have some non-Fundie/Rove supporters who do not want to go to jail!

But, I also wouldn’t put it past a very loyal Rep that has the knowledge of how to *clean* a hard drive properly to do so quietly one evening. It can be done, it’s tricky, but it can be done without leaving a trail of cracker crumbs behind.

What about the recipient or sender of the e-mail? Those aren’t scrubbed.

Since the Plame emails are on the subpoena that means that Fitz could be called to compare files. Especially since his buddy Comey is going to testify. Plenary power in the nick of time.

Bring back Fitzy….
I want Rover’s Grand Jury Testimony framed
