Senator Leahy, just curious… how long do you plan on behaving like a political hack bent on revenge while real things in support of real constituents need doing?
From Reuters: Two former White House officials were subpoenaed on Wednesday as part of the congressional probe of U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ firing last year of federal prosecutors.
The subpoenas set up a possible court fight between Congress and the president, who has vowed to oppose any attempt to force current or former aides to provide sworn testimony.
“The White House cannot have it both ways — it cannot stonewall congressional investigations by refusing to provide documents and witnesses, while claiming nothing improper occurred,” Leahy said.
Really? Perhaps you could actually produce some evidence to justify this “investigation” instead of wasting everyone’s time with a fishing expedition that, even if it were to show that there was any political component of these firings of political appointees, would essentially prove nothing since the president can fire without cause.
The recipe that Leahy appears to be following is quite simple: develop a hypothesis, continue digging until anything that even resembles evidence is uncovered, ignore all evidence to the contrary, and declare guilt if you don’t get your way… kind of like… well kind of like calling someone a communist (or a witch) and then declaring that the fact that they deny they are a communist is proof that they are indeed a communist, especially since they refuse to produce any evidence to prove the negative.
In the meantime, this is OUR money and OUR time he is wasting.
Want to probe something that could potentially help this country? Subpoena Sandy Berger and demand that he tell us what documents he stole and destroyed during the 911 Commission investigation and demand that he submit to a lie detector test as was a condition of his plea agreement.
