WASHINGTON, Mar 20, 2007 (UPI via COMTEX) -- U.S. President George Bush has OK'd appearances by adviser Karl Rove and other White House figures before Congress on the firing of eight federal prosecutors.
However, Rove, Harriet Miers, deputy White House counsel William Kelley and White House aide Scott Jennings would not be made to testify under oath, The Hill reported Tuesday.
The monstrous psychopaths now infesting the White House have taken malevolence to a whole new level. Let us remind ourselves that The White House belongs to us and that Bush serves us.

Lynn G, and to those like you I say let the precendent begin...they all should be held accountable to the very fact that they can be made to testify under oath..that assures accountability.

i think that when you're in fee and are available the Revolution, justice would be meeted out against all the enemies of the folk! Thank reason we've not particularly gotten there yet. On a greater rational point, Article II, § 4 of the form says that the President can in elementary terms be bumped off for "treason, bribery, or different severe crimes and misdemeanors." Bush, lots as you are able to dislike him, has performed none of those issues. Do a splash objective and independent study (lots as that could desire to be a foreign places theory to you) and you will see that your comments, impassioned as they're, fall some distance in need of the edge needed for impeachment. i will supply that there might, might, be something with the NSA wiretapping. yet to call it "unlawful" is a legal end that may't be included into your assertion without study. the burden to coach any illegality, sturdy sir, is on you. Hit us at the same time with your maximum suitable shot. (although I doubt you're able to bobbing up any certainty-based statements on the topics handy).

Nixon has risen from the ashes. Newsflash; Bill Clinton has been out of office for 7 years, get over it! The prosecutors were dismissed because Karl Rove ordered it; as they were prosecuting Republicans, and Rove is above the law, it's in the constitution. Leahy For President!

It is called executive privilege. The President has the right to confidential advisers. If they were able to be made to testify under oath what advice they had given it would compromise the worth of the advice. All Presidents enjoy this same privilege. Why should it change now?

Because then they would have found out it was his brother Marvin Bush that helped plant the explosives in the World Trade Center.

He explained this one clearly, so listen up.
If aides are constantly forced to testify under oath, then this president or any future president would not have aides with absolute freedom to speak in confidence and discuss issues with the prez.

The only obvious reason I can think of is, once again they have soemthing to hide. As in 9-11 when no one wanted to testify, a time when we needed them to speak up, they stood by and watched us in misery...another way to exercise the 5th.

The dismissal of the 8 lawyers is not unheard of. Clinton dismissed about 7 times more at the start of his admin. Carter also dismissed one at the behest of a party under investigation. Nothing new.. except when Bush does it.

If Bush did, it would be a loss of freedom for the whole country.
The most corrupt, evil, and crooked president that we have ever had in this country was Clinton.
Did you ever complain?
