When will Clinton come forward and explain why he fired all of the federal prosecutors?

[fatnotlazy]

This circus is yet another waste of taxpayer dollars.

[subterfuge]

After the Scooter Libby trial, no republican should ever testify unless its to plead the 5th. It’s just another conservative/witch hunt.

So is Jorge going to pardon Ms. Miers should she be cited for contempt of Congress?

Heck, he'd have to grant a blanket pardon to all of us for that :)

Even though I’m sure President Bush is getting good legal advice, I wish it was Ted Olsen giving it to him.

[Xenalyte]

Does she still work for Bush?

My ex-bosses have no say in any damn thing I do.

[Abogado]

Don’t forget. They were fired for failing to prosecute vote fraud cases.

[Cicero]

I don’t see what’s so difficult about this. Executive privilege is a constitutional issue having to do with separation of powers. On top of that, there is the matter of lawyer-client privilege.

The headline is misleading. Bush is not ordering Miers not to testify, he is confirming that she cannot be subpoenaed to testify because congress lacks the jurisdiction to do it.

If congress doesn’t like it, they can go shovel sand.

[ANGGAPO]

The down side of Bush’s staff being forced to testify is that the president could no longer trust the integrity of the information. Who is going to advise the president if they can be forced to appear before congress and reveal the conversation? Think Scooter Libby.
