Não estão indo travar acima o Rove, aide anterior de Bush insistem
Segunda-feira, julho 14o, 2008 Discuta este relatório nos forums de RINF > Por David Edwards e Muriel Kane | Representante. Sanchez: O Rove deve “ser prendido accountable para sua negligência completa da lei”. Karl Rove recusado esta semana a testify antes do Congress sobre o prosecution político-motivated do regulador anterior de Alabama Don Siegelman. Uma subcomissão do comitê Judiciary da casa tem votado agora overwhelmingly para rejeitar a reivindicação do Rove que porque “um conselheiro próximo anterior ao presidente” ele é “constitutionally imune” de ter que testify. Davis Shuster de MSNBC pediu o representante. Linda Sanchez (DCA), cadeira dessa subcomissão, o que o comitê Judiciary fará em seguida. “A etapa seguinte seria para que o comitê cheio faça exame acima da recomendação do contempt,” Sanchez indicado, “que eu fui dito por Presidente Conyers que é ansioso para fazer, e dela iria à casa cheia.” Adicionou que “gostaria de ver que Karl Rove prendeu accountable para sua negligência completa da lei.” Em uma letra emitida ao advogado do Rove uma semana há, um Conyers e um Sanchez ameaçado isso “uma recusa a aparecer na violação do subpoena podia sujeitar o Sr. Rove às continuações do contempt, including o contempt estatutário sob a lei federal e as continuações sob a autoridade inerente do contempt da casa de representantes.” “Há uma cadeia no Capitol dos E.U.,” Shuster indicado, “que não estêve usado por alguma hora, mas você está dizendo, e o comitê, alguns de seus colegas está dizendo hoje à noite, você quer Karl Rove nessa cadeia se continuar a recusar as demandas deste comitê. É isso o que você está dizendo?” Sanchez anotou aquele “com alguns dos renovations que foram sobre no Capitol sobre os anos, lá não é realmente uma cadeia física real lá,” mas ela insistiu que isso “qualquer um que scoffs na lei e cometeu uma ofensa que fosse punível pelo tempo da cadeia devesse ser posta na cadeia.” Acredita que há “uma probabilidade muito grande” que a casa cheia vote para manter o Rove no contempt. Shuster pediu então o professer legal Jonathan Turley, “é as democratas realmente sérias, fazendo exame isto de toda a maneira?” “Eu penso que John que Conyers poderia muito jorrar seja sério,” Turley respondido. “O invocation do privilégio executivo pelo Rove nesta matéria é realmente ridiculous.” “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.” This video is from MSNBC’s Verdict, broadcast July 10, 2008. http://216.87.173.33/media/2008/0807/msnbc_verdict_sanchez_rove_contempt_080710a.flv See More:USA NewsDiscuss this report in the RINF forums > Have Your Say: They’re not going to lock up Rove, Former Bush aide insists One Response to “They’re not going to lock up Rove, Former Bush aide insists”

“The next step would be for the full committee to take up the contempt recommendation,” Sanchez stated, “which I’ve been told by Chairman Conyers that he’s anxious to do, and from there it would go to the full House.” She added that she “would like to …
