Rove and Miers to Testify Publicly Before Congress About Attorney Firings
http://pubrecord.org/politics/3679/miers-testify-publicly-before-congress/

By Jason Leopold
The Public Record
Aug 17th, 2009

Back in March, when House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers announced that he and his staff had reached an agreement to have Karl Rove and ex-White House Counsel Harriet Miers testify privately about their roles in the firings of nine U.S. attorneys he said his panel also reserved the right to haul the former Bush administration officials before Congress to testify publicly about the matter.

Conyers now intends to take advantage of that prearranged agreement and is expected to call Rove and Miers to testify before his panel sometime in the fall, according to several congressional sources that spoke on condition of anonymity.

1. This will NEVER happen!!! or at least, I'll believe it when I see it.
They'll chicken out at the last minute and "no backbone" Conyers will give them a free pass.

2. Why? We already have their sworn testimony.
How many times and ways can two people say "I have no recollection of that"?

5. What or Who is The Public Record?
I've never heard of it and don't know if it should be relied upon.
