Rove, Fielding pay ‘mysterious’ visit to Capitol.
“Senior White House aide Karl Rove and White House Council Fred Fielding were just spotted leaving a meeting room just off the Senate floor in the Capitol. But neither gave a reason for their trip to the Hill. Minutes later, Iraq War ‘Czar’ Lt. Gen Douglas Lute was also spotted leaving the Capitol. When asked what brought him down Pennsylvania Avenue, Rove remained mum, simply smiling and greeting the staffers who quickly surrounded him. ‘Something big must be happening‘ a startled Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) said as he watched Rove walk out the building.”

5. Can someone remind me why Fielding was brought back (i.e.,
what projects he's working on?) Is he representing Rove or Bush? Or Republicans?

8. OK, I looked at the net - he's working on fighting subpoenas?
Using RNC e-mail for WH correspondence?

Anything else?

13. Fielding has met with the House and Senate before re US Atty firings.
This is from March (21,2007).

"The Bush White House has been opposed to any of its officials appearing before congressional committees, arguing that such testimony violates executive privilege. (Watch analysts debate the executive privilege issue )

Earlier Tuesday, White House counsel Fred Fielding met with members of the House and Senate Judiciary committees to discuss conditions under which Rove and Miers would be interviewed."

10. I'd take anything that came from Politico.com with a huge grain of
salt.

Maybe KKKarl was bringing the Kleenex for Boehner to wipe his false tears with.

11. He was seen on the Senate side, but Specter didn't know?
Edited on Thu May-24-07 09:19 PM by Patsy Stone
He was "startled". So this wasn't official SJC business, I take it? Hmmm.

22. Maybe FIelding wrote Gonzo's resignation so Bush can appoint
Bolton or Wolfowitz during the recess?
