Rep. Henry A. Waxman, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, might ask White House officials to testify about their actions involving the CIA leak case, Democratic sources tell Politico.

President Bush has resisted past calls for appearances by his advisers, so the request could provoke another showdown between the White House and the new Democratic Congress.

“This White house has been successful in changing the goal posts so that it’s almost impossible to get information from them or get people to testify,” the Democratic official said. “What was common during the Clinton years has become non-existent.”

......

A senior administration official said the White House is preparing for numerous investigations by Democrats, who now control both the House and the Senate. “They’re going to be getting up in our cupboards on all sorts of matters,” the official said. Fred Fielding, who took over as White House counsel this year after the departure of Harriet Miers, is hiring more staff as he prepares for congressional negotiations.

require them ALL to testify and when they drag their feet, go to the press with the whole "I thought shrub wanted to get to the bottom of this" line. Flip shrub's words back on him. Push the matter on tv at every chance (Press the Meat, Olbermann.......)

and keep it as public as possible. After every denial, an instant response. Subpoena limbaugh and hannity about their connections with rove and the need to spread the talking points. If they have nothing to hide, this should be a walk in the park. Who would expect less from christian patriots??

...because if he doesn't, then who will?:shrug:

So please Senator Waxman, do it!
