Subpoenas issued in fired prosecutors probe

Source: MSNBC

WASHINGTON - The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed new documents Tuesday from Attorney General Alberto Gonzales as part of its investigation into the firings of federal prosecutors, with the panel chairman saying he had run out of patience.

"We have been patient in allowing the department to work through its concerns regarding the sensitive nature of some of these materials," Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., wrote Gonzales in a letter accompanying the subpoena. "Unfortunately, the department has not indicated any meaningful willingness to find a way to meet our legitimate needs.,"

"At this point further delay in receiving these materials will not serve any constructive purpose," Conyers said. He characterized the subpoena as a last resort after weeks of negotiations with Justice over documents and e-mails the committee wants.

The story was carried live right after the Rutgers presser on MSNBC at about 12.40 PM.

Clearly the stories about Baby Anna Nicole and Brittany and Idol are more worthy of bandwidth. If there's no link, please feel free to yank this thread.

they might also suddenly decide its top secret national security stuff too

They'll say all their files were trashed when they left that "huge mess."

I know...it's a helluva stretch but maybe they're banking on the public not being very bright.

This is how you respond to the Bush Cabal.

Go, Mr. Conyers, go!

NOW it gets real.

He does our state proud. This is getting really good now.

Times up you son of a bitch.

:loveya::loveya: :loveya:

Knowing that there were people like him--not enough, not nearly enough, but some--in government, fighting the good fight even with both hands tied behind their backs gave me hope through six long and horribly depressing years. It's going to be wonderful to see him in action now that his hands are untied.

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Wonder what the DOJ will do.

Gonzales thinks he's a CEO after all.

I wanna hear 'em cry "UNCLE!"

right in the gonzo !

Doesnt Gonzales work at the 'Pleasure' of the people?

It's astonishing that this bumbler is the USAG.

Total sophomoric stooge as Attorney General - hired for one reason and one reason only: cover George's ass for all the illegal shit BushCo has done. Rock on, Conyers!

Contempt of Congress? Who serves the papers? Capitol police? Are handcuffs involved? Does the DC area Federal Attorney get involved? So many questions! Does Gonzo get served papers from his very own department?

Only this time, the boot's on the other foot. This time, it's they who are between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Can we start sharpening the guillotine now?

I say OUI ! Off with their heads! :evilgrin:

The fact that 'cooperation with congress' leads to this action only leaves me to ask Gonzo one question? (see above)

In the last congressional congress, Gonzo was disrespectful of Sen. Specter - Payback time in the House & Senate! The number one question I would ask (if I were Sen. Specter) is "Why did you insert language bypassing Congress in the Patriot Act if this was not a planned political attack?" Gonzo has dug himself a very big hole!

This very moment.
