Rover Gets His Subpoena

At least one was issued, but Old Rover might be hiding from it...maybe in one of Cheney's hidey holes.

I bet Rover has an underground political bunker somewhere in a cave in the mountains of Maryland.

Just kidding....I think.

Rove is THE untouchable, unelected official in the White House (that is if one believes that any of them were elected, which we don't, but let's pretend for a moment the Bush myth that Bush and Cheney actually were elected is true).

Karl Rove will never honor a subpoena from Congress...not in this lifetime.. They might as well go ahead and write up the contempt citation.

What if everyone in the United States, just for one week, acted like the Bushites?

They seem to believe what Nixon said. If the president does it it's legal. Well, if it's legal, it's legal.

Everyone who works for this administration is acting as an agent of the president, therefore everything they do must also be lawful.

So, forget showing up for court America! Screw subpoenas. Refuse to talk to anyone with any authority and if you do, lie your ass off. After all, you will only be following Dear Leader's example of how to conduct yourself as a patriotic America.

Leahy issues subpoena for Rove
July 26, 2007

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) Thursday issued a subpoena for top White House adviser Karl Rove to compel him to testify about the firing of several U.S. attorneys.

“The evidence shows that senior White House political operatives were focused on the political impact of federal prosecutions and whether federal prosecutors were doing enough to bring partisan voter fraud and corruption cases,” Leahy said. “It is obvious that the reasons given for the firings of these prosecutors were contrived as part of a cover-up and that the stonewalling by the White House is part and parcel of that same effort.”

Leahy issued the subpoenas, one to Rove and one to White House aide Scott Jennings, after consulting with Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), the committee’s ranking member.

“The Bush-Cheney White House continues to place great strains on our constitutional system of checks and balances,” Leahy added. “Not since the darkest days of the Nixon administration have we seen efforts to corrupt federal law enforcement for partisan political gain and such efforts to avoid accountability.”

The move is a further escalation of the constitutional battle between Congress and the White House over whether Bush administration officials must provide testimony and documents to legislative branch investigators.

Leahy said he is not taking this step lightly and only decided to proceed after “[exhausting] every avenue seeking the voluntary cooperation of Karl Rove and J. Scott Jennings.”

The Judiciary Committee chairman concluded that the investigation has “reached a point where the accumulated evidence shows that political considerations factored into the unprecedented firing of at least nine United States attorneys last year.”

In a letter to Rove, Leahy gives the White House official a week to appear before the panel and testify under oath.

“I hope that the White House takes this opportunity to reconsider its blanket claim of executive privilege, especially in light of the testimony that the President was not involved in the dismissals of these U.S. Attorneys,” Leahy said in his letter. “I am left to ask what the White House is so intent on hiding that it cannot even identify the documents, the dates, the authors and recipients that they claim are privileged.”
