Zij gaan geen Lont omhoog sluiten, dringt de Vroegere assistent van Bush aan

Door David Edwards en Muriel Kane | Rep. Sanchez: De lont zou „voor zijn volledige veronachtzaming van de wet“ verantwoordelijk moeten worden gehouden.

Karl Rove geweigerd deze week om vóór Congres over de politiek-gemotiveerde vervolging van de vroegere Gouverneur van Alabama te getuigen trekt Siegelman aan. Een subcomité van het Gerechtelijke Comité van het Huis heeft nu overweldigend gestemd om de eis dat te verwerpen van de Lont als vroegere „dichte adviseur aan de voorzitter“ hij „“ van het moeten getuigen constitutioneel immuun is.

Gevraagd Rep van Davis van MSNBC Shuster. Linda Sanchez (D-CA), stoel van dat subcomité, wat het Gerechtelijke Comité daarna zal doen.

De „volgende stap zou voor de volledige commissie zijn de contempt aanbeveling op te nemen,“ Sanchez verklaarde, „die ik door Voorzitter Conyers ben verteld dat hij bezorgd is te doen, en van daar zou het naar het volledige Huis.“ gaan Zij voegde toe dat zij „Karl Rove zou willen zien verantwoordelijk gehouden voor zijn volledige veronachtzaming van de wet.“

In een brief die naar de advocaat van de Lont een week wordt verzonden geleden, Conyers en Sanchez gedreigd dat een „weigering om in schending van de dagvaarding te verschijnen M. kon onderwerpen. Lont aan contempt werkzaamheden, met inbegrip van statutaire contempt in het kader van federale wet en werkzaamheden onder het inherente contempt gezag van het Huis van Vertegenwoordigers.“

„Er is een gevangenis in de V.S. Capitol,“ aangehaalde Shuster, „die niet sinds enige tijd is gebruikt, maar u zegt, en de commissie, sommige van uw collega's zegt vanavond, wilt u Karl Rove in die gevangenis als hij de eisen van deze commissie blijft weigeren. Is dat wat u?“ zegt

Sanchez merkte op dat „met enkele vernieuwingen die in Capitol in de loop van de jaren zijn gegaan, er werkelijk daar geen daadwerkelijke fysieke gevangenis is,“ maar zij drong erop aan dat „om het even wie wie scoffs bij de wet en een inbreuk heeft begaan die tegen gevangenistijd zou moeten in gevangenis worden gezet.“ strafbaar is Zij gelooft er een „zeer grote waarschijnlijkheid“ is die het volledige Huis zal stemmen om Lont in contempt te houden.

Dan gevraagd van Shuster is wettelijke professer Jonathan Turley, „de werkelijk ernstig Democraten die, de deze al manier nemen?“

„ik denk John Conyers zeer goed kon ernstig zijn,“ Turley antwoordde. De „aanroeping van uitvoerend voorrecht door Lont in deze kwestie werkelijk is belachelijk.“

“I think the White House knows once again that it has overextended an executive privilege claim and that it would not be sustained in a court of law,” Turley continued. “No court has ever said what the White House seems to be suggesting. … It would be untenable. We would never be able to have any check on the White House.”

Turley believes that the White House is simply “trying to run the clock out.” When asked if Congress would go as far as trying to jail Rove, he answered, “I don’t think we’re going to get to that,” but he felt there is a real possibility of a vote for inherent contempt.

“Congress gave up the authority of inherent contempt under an agreement with the Justice Department that it would be an honest broker, that it would take these cases to the grand jury,” Turley explained. “What Attorney Mukasey is doing right now I think is far beyond bounds. He is refusing to let a grand jury see these cases. … So I think at this point that Congress has a right to say, ‘Deal’s off.’”

Shuster then turned to two other guests for comment. Former Bush aide Brad Blakeman insisted that Rove is just following legal advice in refusing to testify and “the president’s privilege trumps what Congress wants to do.” He suggested that when there’s a conflict between the executive and the legislative branches, “the remedy is to go to the courts.”

The Huffington Post’s Roy Sekoff replied that “Rove is thumbing his nose at the Constitution. … They think that they are above the law. … The Justice Department is refusing to take it to the grand jury.”

However, Sekoff doubts that the House will actually try to put Rove in jail. “Nothing will happen,” he stated pessimistically. “They’ll refer it to the Justice Department … and the clock will run out.”

“It’s a tremendous abuse of their power,” Blakeman argued. “They know that, and it’s exactly why they’re not going to execute on the contempt. They’re not going to lock Karl Rove up. … They want Karl Rove as a political pawn before a major election to embarrass the president.”

“In United States vs. Nixon, they found that executive privilege is not absolute,” Sekoff retorted. “It applies to military and diplomatic situations, not to a thing where Karl Rove is trying to build a permanent majority with political trickery.”
