FBI director, Mueller not taking the fall for Gonzo...
FBI director contradicts Gonzales' testimony
Mueller says terrorist surveillance was discussed during 2004 hospital visit

WASHINGTON - FBI Director Robert S. Mueller said Thursday the government's terrorist surveillance program was the topic of a 2004 hospital room dispute between top Bush administration officials, contradicting Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' sworn Senate testimony.

Mueller's statement came hours after Senate Democrats called for a perjury investigation against Gonzales and subpoenaed top presidential aide Karl Rove in a deepening political and legal clash with the Bush administration.

3. This convinces me that Conyers and Leahy are working closely together
Conyers kept the contempt on Miers and Bolten to a very narrow area that wouldn't deal with executive priviledge. The contempt is only for refusing to comply with a subpeona. Leahy is going after executive priviledge with the Rove subpeonas, and Conyers got Leahy the answer to the Gonzo question on the meeting.

Way to go Judiciary committees!!

:clap:
