Both Mr. Bolton and Ms. Miers decided they could ignore a Congressional subpoena. Unless we let them get away with it, they can't, it's like getting a subpoena to appear in court. And Ms. Miers is no longer even working for our government -- CheneyBush's claim of Executive Privilege is moot.
You can always come and refuse to answer questions under the Fifth Amendment, at which point you can be investigated. You're not supposed to come and just lie -- as in court, that's perjury, and that is against the law. Even for Republicans. Even for Attorney Generals. Just because the Attorney General does it, that doesn't make it legal.
Which is why Alberto Gonzales wasn't just funny yesterday, he committed clear and actionable perjury:
Documents indicate eight congressional leaders were briefed about the Bush administration's terrorist surveillance program on the eve of its expiration in 2004, contradicting sworn Senate testimony this week by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.The documents underscore questions about Gonzales' credibility as senators consider whether a perjury investigation should be opened into conflicting accounts about the program and a dramatic March 2004 confrontation leading up to its potentially illegal reauthorization.
A Gonzales spokesman maintained Wednesday that the attorney general stands by his testimony.
I give him a week. Oh, but what henchman could CheneyBush possibly get to replace him -- both continue to cover up their crimes and get confirmed by Congress?
And if you can't fill the top job at Justice, are you even operating as a President anymore?
I hear goose is a little gamy, but if you cook it just right...
