WASHINGTON (AP) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has asked for a grand jury investigation into whether White House chief of staff Josh Bolten and former counsel Harriet Miers should be prosecuted for contempt of Congress.
Pelosi is demanding that misdemeanor charges be pursued against Miers for refusing to testify to Congress about the 2006 firings of federal prosecutors, and against Bolten for failing to turn over White House documents related to the purge.

Nancy Pelosi is deeply disturbed.
ahh heck...why don’t some republicans call for an investigation of Pelosi? Just for the fun of it?
Why doesn’t our side just make up stuff so we can have fake investigations?
Fine. I want treason charges leveled against the entire Dhimmocratic Party would love nothing more for me to die at the hands of some smelly terrorist so that the Dhimmocrats can advance their socialist takeover and subsequent surrender to Islam.
big issue is the environment. She always makes statements that, with us, the environment is not an issue, it’s an ethic, it’s a value. Which is a nice way of saying, “I love the environment, but not when it comes to our own businesses.”
in 1996, Nancy Pelosi and her husband and fewer than 10 other partners wanted to build a golf course and country club outside of San Jose, California, called the CordeValle Country Club.
They never followed the environmental regulations. The ponds were never built for these endangered species. For seven years, they also failed to file any of the environmental reports required by the California Fish and Wildlife Commission.
A 2004 County Environmental Compliance Report found all kinds of environmental problems on the Pelosi’s golf course.
What does that actually mean in practical terms? Did they turn around and build this habitat and comply?
No, they solved the problem the old-fashioned way: they hired lobbyists and they got the environmental regulations changed.
Don’t monitor terrorists but investigate White house and baseball steroid use. My!!! I feel safer already./s
HEY NANCY! please work on legislation and forget about “investigating” someone.....time to do your work....
No wonder Congress can never get anything done. Pelosi’s too busy with her blankety blank investigations!!!!
Nancy, Bolton and Miers are not enemies of the US. But, achmed, habib, mohammad, osama obama, and other muslims are enemies and failure to keep fisa from expiring has made it easier for those who want to harm us....
Shhh..we dont want her to do that!
Put a sock in it Nancy. We’re about done with your crap...
Just out of curiosity, I wonder what the MSM reaction would be to a headline saying, “Bush wants Pelosi aids investigated.”?
yawwwnnn
There she goes again....Putting on stage acts for her radical left base! Sit down Pelosi, even they think you are full of crap!
The funny part about that is we do not have to make anything up! maybe we should ask that Pelosi's personal laywer be subpoenaed...Ask him about all her & her hubby's "shady" deals.......
Just like with the terrorists, the Democrats were simply emboldened to investigate, investigate, investigate until November 2008.

Don’t you think you’re asking a little to much of Nance? She’s to stupid and liberal (am I being redundant?) to work on any legislation. Now calling for an investigation, now that’s more in line with her mental capabilities.
Go piss up a rope, lady!
Nancy should be checked for aids.
AMEN!
The only point of these investigations is political theater.
The only way the issue of if the administration is required to turn over the documents or to testify is for congress to sue the administration and have the courts decide.
Even if her politically motivated investigation comes to the predetermined answer that they could be charged, it is the justice department that would file charges if they choose to do so, not congress.
So this would be a huge waste of time and money just to determine if the committee feels that members of the administration could be charged with misdemeanors if the administration chose to charge them. If the administration wants to charge them, it could do so without the investigation, and the investigation has no authority to force the administration to do so on its own. The investigation is completely pointless except for whatever political sound bytes it might produce.
Either sue the administration in court, or move on to other business.
good time to start reading the history of the soviet union.
I want Pelosi investigated for deliberate anti-American actions. I want her to answer questions about her her trips abroad, about her deliberate and vocal opposition to any measure to insure American security, about any self interest she or her husband might have in the votes she has cast, and about the sad, sick, sorry botox she seems to be using! Seriously, folks, does this woman have any clue at all????
How about it if instead the US Attorney General investigates the illegal employment of foreign nationals at the vineyard controlled by Nancy Stretchface and her family?
She had to dig the dead horse up in order to beat it!
“Nancy Stretchface”
A great nickname for nancy would be Stretch! Right up there with The Swimmer!
Rot Ro Relroy, if you can be investigated for "that" I am in deep doo doo!
11% approval rating. Is that even possible?
perhaps she could convince Congress to pass a bill of attainder.
When will these idiots realize we elected them to legislate, not investigate!
Wait, we don’t want the DemonRATS to legislate.....
Investigate away, then!
It’s better here when she is in Syria.
translation:
you vill investigate zees peeple because vee hov zee powuh!
(macaroon democrats; not to mention republicrats who kiss their a**es.)
Grandstanding at its finest.
Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said "this sort of pandering to the left-wing fever swamps of loony liberal activists does nothing to make America safer."
ol’ 2PAC is up for election.. these dems are a whiny lot.. why are so many voters sucked in by idjeets .. I almost wish Cindy beats her.. her reign has been a bad joke
Contempt of congress? Isn’t that about 78% of the population?
I hope that they investigate these aides and maybe a couple dozen more over the course of the year. I urge these “leaders” to engage in massive investigations of the executive branch and not to relent. The more time they waste on these kinds of things the less time they spend doing real damage to the country by passing legislation.
Contempt of congress shouldn’t be a crime; it’s a duty.
Our side is the side that gets sand kicked in its face by a bully on the beach and then, instead of taking the Charles Atlas course and getting stronger, apologizes. Meanwhile, my checkbook remains closed and unopened mailings from the RNC continue to fill up my trash can.
When I first scrolled to this posting there was a picture of Waxman. I clicked something and it disappeared. I checked source and pasted image source into browser and there was Waxman.
I can’t find anything blocked and other images show.
Anyone seen anything like that before?
Finally, an Attorney General who is not afraid of Democrat intimidation.
