Chris Dodd today: Investigate the President...

Dodd today released the following statement in response to the claims of former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan that he "unknowingly passed along false information" to the American public and that "the highest-ranking officials in the administration were involved in doing so," including the Vice-President and the President:

"Today's revelations by Mr. McClellan are very disturbing and raise several important questions that need to be answered. If in fact the President of the United of States knowingly instructed his chief spokesman to mislead the American people, there can be no more fundamental betrayal of the public trust.

"During his confirmation process, Attorney General Mukasey said he would act independently. Accordingly, today, I call on the Attorney General to live up to his word and launch an immediate investigation to determine the facts of this case, the extent of any cover up and determine what the President knew and when he knew it."

3. If he was complicit in releasing that name he committed treason

Releasing the name of an undercover CIA agent is treason pure and simple.

5. Wasn't Dodd raising funds because he'd fillibuster Mukasey a while ago?

I know he's trying to get traction in the Net Roots...but we are a skeptical bunch. I didn't see him fillibuster and find him kind of "pandering" now. :shrug:
