WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked the Justice Department on Thursday to open a grand jury investigation into whether President Bush's chief of staff and former counsel should be prosecuted for contempt of Congress.

Pelosi, D-Calif., demanded that the department pursue misdemeanor charges against former White House counsel Harriet Miers for refusing to testify to Congress about the firings of federal prosecutors in 2006 and against chief of staff Josh Bolten for failing to turn over White House documents related to the dismissals.

She gave Attorney General Michael Mukasey one week to respond and said refusal to take the matter to a grand jury will result in the House's filing a civil lawsuit against the Bush administration.

The White House branded the request as "truly contemptible." The Justice Department said it had received Pelosi's request and anticipated providing further guidance after Mukasey's review. It noted "long-standing department precedent" in such cases against letting a U.S. attorney refer a congressional contempt citation to a grand jury or prosecute an executive branch. The top House Republican called it "a partisan political stunt" and "a complete waste of time," according to a spokesman.

1. So even when she does what you want

you attack her.

3. Too little, too late.

She's a disappointment.

"Off the table" is her legacy.

:patriot:

ON EDIT:

Since you want to call me out on this, explain the "no more blank checks" talking points followed by MORE BLANK CHECKS.

Your move, G.

5. We're discussing her actions today

if she hadn't done it, you'd attack her. She did do it, and you still attack her.

I just wish people here had one tenth the hate for Republicans as they do for our own side.

4. Misdemeanor charges...

What are they going to do, write Miers a fix-it ticket? Fine her $20? Really nail her with a suspended one-day sentence?

Oh Nancy, Nancy... At a crucial time in US history, when we really, really needed a strong majority party to step up and provide serious opposition to this band of felonious madmen, we get you and Reid instead. What the hell did this country do to deserve such "leadership?"
