The War Room: Where are the denials? (re: Comey's testimony)

Where are the denials?
One more question about James Comey's extraordinary testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday: If Comey is wrong -- if Andy Card and Alberto Gonzales didn't try to take advantage of a desperately ill and disoriented John Ashcroft to get authorization for a warrantless wiretap program the Justice Department had already rejected; if FBI Director Robert Mueller wasn't so worried about what Card and Gonzales were doing that he didn't order his agents to keep them from removing Comey from Ashcroft's hospital room -- then why isn't anyone denying Comey's account today?

As the New York Times reported this morning, spokesmen for Ashcroft, Mueller and the Department of Justice have all declined to comment on Comey's accusations, and Card didn't respond to a reporter's inquiries about them.

At the White House today, Tony Snow said that Comey had given "his side of what transpired that day." But if there's some other "side" of the story, Snow didn't give any hint as to what it might be. And really, why should he even bother? As Media Matters notes, the mainstream media thinks so little of this story that CBS and ABC didn't even mention Comey's testimony during their evening newscasts Tuesday night.

"desperately ill and disoriented John Ashcroft".

C'mon peeps, this wasn't Grandma recouperating in bed after being attacked by the Big Bad Wolf.
This was ASSCRACK.
Pancre-itis <spelling?>, not brain surgery.

He may not have been in any shape to tap dance, but he certainly knew well the men he was dealing
with and was likely as complicit in what they were up to as Dimson was.

Too many live and livid witnesses for any denials to have credibility. The ball is in Nancy Pelosi's court now, and if she doesn't permit impeachment back on the table now, we are doomed.

Nancy is not going to go for the impeachment gig; with a 29% Congressional approval rating there is no stomach for it.
