(, , and

The Report also indicates that Monica Goodling, Kyle Sampson, and Alberto Gonzales may have lied to the Congress about these matters. I have directed my staff to closely review this matter and to consider whether a criminal referral for perjury is needed."

Rep. Conyers will NOT DO anything about this latest flaunt of the law just like he has taken NO ACTION against Rove and the others for not honoring the law and appearing before his committee. Conyers, in the old days, was a hero of mine. Today he is complicit to the Bushies and a disgrace of his former self! All of these actions are clear cut violations and yet he does nothing! What ever happen to upholding the law and his swearing to uphold the constitution?

What happen Rep. Conyers??? Have you been paid off? Lost you will to be honorable?? Arrest Rove, Barlett or Miers and do you job!!!!

Any criminal referral would be passed on to DOJ, which has so far refused to appoint a special prosecutor for the matter.

You can expect Mukasey to ride that pony all the way to Jan.

Conyers might want to pursue this, but even as the article notes..Mukasey won't do squat.

Its just a little heavy breathing on the part of Conyers for the media, thats all folks!

DID YOU KNOW THAT A FED JUDGE CAN SIGN A WRIT OF MANDAMUS ordering an executive branch official...to do his descretionary function that is owed to the American Public?

THAT MOTION CREATES THE DUE PROCESS HEARING...WITH SUBPOENAS...OF...ANYBODY NAMED IN THE FACT PATTERN?

DID YOU ...THE DEMS HAVE LAWYERS...THAT KNOW THIS?

The dirty laundry is out for everyone to see so get your eyeful and laugh you asses off. The last sentence says it all ... they won't go any farther; this thing has run its'course.

Seems to me that DoJ is more concerned with protecting the President and his political appointees than with pursuing justice and the rule of law. The office is too politicized now.

At the very least, this kind of investigation should help identify persons who WERE hired by these yahoos because of their rabid idealogy and who are still in important positions within the Department. The idea of "stealth" rightwing hires throughout many agencies is a real danger that doesn't get talked about enough. My guess is that there are a number of idealogues holding important non-political appointment positions in a number of agencies who may be able to impede Obama's ability to get things done that need to be done. These needs more scrutiny. I would hope that Rep Conyers et al could help shine some light on this, even if no criminal indictments get handed down.

" Any criminal referral would be passed on to DOJ, which has so far refused to appoint a special prosecutor for the matter. "

Well Conyers had better remind DoJ that every damned referral that's not acted on will be treated as an obstruction of justice charge come next January. In fact, I would have those referrals drawn up already, and send them through the same channels as the first.

And a blanket demand that all of these flunkies demand would be a good start at correcting the corruption that they're all guilty of.

If John Conyers does anything about this at all, except for writing a sternly worded letter, I will eat a hat.

John Conyers - "Keeping the powder dry."

There are allegations being made that Karl Rove attempted to blackmail a computer tech for the GOP into taking the fall for election fraud in Ohio '04. Rove apparently threatened to prosecute his wife for lobby law violations.

Conyers does nothing more than send letters, despite in-your-face violations that are almost certainly covering up very grave crimes. Is it a coincidence or another tactical example that John Conyers' wife is being investigated in some kickback scheme in Detroit? I wonder if her fate depends on how her husband behaves?

Do many of these politicians have an illegal act or two hanging over their heads? Already fully investigated, only to be prosecuted if "necessary" for some purpose?

Conyers won't do anything but talk. I have stopped listening to the hearings on CSPAN where they allow the Bush Administration's hacks to lie repectively with no consequences. It is all show trials.

Conyers is considering perjury referrals and is also considering diddling himself in his office in silence to further prove his insufferrable fecklessness and well paid cowardice. I bet he only accomplaished the latter.

You hit the nail on the head.

The reason it was so important to populate the justice department with unqualified political loyalist is that now, anyone loyal to Bush can break any law and get away with it.

This justice department is ironic.
