House Panel Subpeonas Rove
Via AFP:
A US House of Representatives committee on Thursday subpoenaed President George W. Bush’s former political guru Karl Rove to testify in a fierce political row over the firing of federal prosecutors.
The move was the latest bid by the Democratic-led Congress to probe the furor over claims the prosecutors were dismissed for political reasons, which contributed to the resignation of attorney general Alberto Gonzales last year.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers said he had no option but to issue the subpoena, after exhaustive negotiations with Rove’s lawyer.
“It is unfortunate that Mr Rove has failed to cooperate with our requests,” Conyers said in a statement.
“Although he does not seem the least bit hesitant to discuss these issues weekly on cable television and in the print news media.”
The Democrats have been on a witch hunt ever sense they took the majority in Congress. This U.S. attorney probe is just one of many endless investigations that will end with millions of dollars wasted and no crimes discovered.
Of course, the Dems will still insist that Rove was guilty of something but they unfortunately were just never able to prove it.
