Pelosi demands "Justice" Dept open grand jury
To examine the contempt citations against Our Dear Embattled Leader's uncritical minions.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked the Justice Department on Thursday to open a grand jury investigation into whether President Bush's chief of staff and former counsel should be prosecuted for contempt of Congress..The White House response was itself a supreme expression of contempt for Our Constitution.
..She gave Attorney General Michael Mukasey one week to respond and said refusal to take the matter to a grand jury will result in the House's filing a civil lawsuit against the Bush administration.
At the White House, spokesman Tony Farto said House Democrats "have been trying to redefine the notion of contempt and they succeeded."And it will end up in civil court until after the election when we all hope the new Attorney General will restore the criminal charges.
