TurdBlossom got no privilege
In Re: Turd v Siegelman it has been been determined that, wonder of wonders, Mr. Blossom has no executive privilege.
Representatives of the Bush White House are no longer advising former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove that he is protected by executive privilege as regards testimony about the alleged political prosecution of an Alabama governor.What is curious is the "if and when" part. Seems to me a diva like TurdBlossom could hardly refuse a command performance. John Conyers could hardly ask for less, unless a dirty deal was done somewhere.
In an exchange with Raw Story, Rove’s Washington, D.C. attorney, Robert Luskin, also said Rove won’t invoke his Fifth Amendment right to protect himself from self-incrimination, if and when he testifies about the firing of nine US Attorneys and the prosecution of the former governor.
There's “been speculation that he would decline to answer questions on Fifth Amendment grounds,” Luskin said. “That's a personal privilege; he will not assert it.”
