The witness, Associate Deputy Attorney General William Moschella, said he was urged during the dinner hour meeting on March 5 to publicly specify reasons for the dismissals, according to a transcript of the investigators' April 24 interview with him.

Until the March 6 hearing before a House Judiciary subcommittee, Justice Department officials had said publicly only that some of the firings were based on performance, offering no specifics. At the hearing, Moschella laid out detailed criticism of each of five fired prosecutors' specific performance.

2. Impeach Rove? How. The lie is that he 'works for the American people'.
He works personally first for bush** and for the republic party second.

What is his real function? Why does he draw a goverment salary? He does nothing for the 'country'.

3. To paraphrase another DUer, all that seems to be keeping...
...the entire White House from crumbling is Rover's lard butt plugging the hole in the dike.

4. Sorry... but there is no crime in someone saying you ought to emphasize
XYZ in your testimony. Coaching them to say something false, is a crime if you can prove it.
