AMERICABLOG: Schumer: Rove must testify before Congress

Schumer: Rove must testify before Congress

"From Senator Schumer (R-NY)
IN LIGHT OF TWO NEW REVELATIONS, SCHUMER CALLS ON SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE TO CALL KARL ROVE TO TESTIFY

In light of new reports that Karl Rove played a role in the firing of U.S. Attorneys, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today asked the Judiciary Committee to call on Karl Rove to testify. Reports over the weekend reveal that New Mexico State Republican Chairman Allen Weh spoke with Rove about U.S. Attorney David Iglesias and that Rove spoke with both Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and White House Counsel Harriet Miers about Weh’s complaints..."

SNIP

“..There’s an emerging pattern that is extremely disturbing and everyday the sanctity of U.S. Attorneys as neutral enforcers of law without fear or favor is diminished,' Schumer said. 'We will get to bottom of this.”

2. UNDER OATH too! NONE of those rat bastards have had to testify under oath.
The Democrats winning in Novemeber really is the repuke's worse nightmare. Now they have to tell the TRUTH or chance being caught lying and go to jail. I love those options.:)

3. Good luck with that!
Even if they get him to sit at the table through a subpoena, I would bet that Rove's answer to every question from the Democrats will be along the lines of: "Presidential Privilege, Senator. I will not comment on private communications with the President." But I'd love to see him sweat and be hauled off in handcuffs under contempt of Congress!
