Now we’re cooking with gas.
It may have been a long time coming, but we’ve (finally) got some Congressional oversight up in here. Following Harriet Miers non-appearance in front of the House Judiciary Committee, Chairman Conyers fires off a contempt citation for Ms. Miers and one for Chief of Staff Josh Bolten, just for good measure. This is actually has teeth, because, not honoring a subpoena is, well, you know, criminal. But that’s yesterday’s news, really.
(Update) Rumor had it that the DOJ wouldn’t prosecute the House contempt citation. Well, it’s official. This likely won’t come to a full vote until after the August recess, so we aren’t a total standoff yet. It might give Conyers time to dust off Inherent Contempt. Hasn’t been done since the 30’s but, options are quickly dwindling. (/update)
In case you missed Fredo’s ’stellar’ performance in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee here’s a quick recap of the proceedings:
At some point in this nonsense, a few Senators realized that the warm liquid on their shoes wasn’t in fact rain, and are now calling for a Special investigator for Fredo’s continued perjury.
And this only moments before Senator Leahy sent out the Subpoena for Turdblossom himself.
And just to pile on, Righty blog RedState is calling for Fredo’s ouster.
THIS is what I worked so hard for on our most recent elections. It may be frustrating that it’s taking so long for the truth to out and justice to be served, but, given that the shit is so deep in this “administration,” I need to have patience for Congress to sort through it all. Perhaps they need their own Poopsmith.
