WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said Friday that he would be willing to comply with a possible congressional subpoena to discuss the administration's handling of prewar intelligence, telling CNN's Wolf Blitzer he'd be "glad to share my views" if asked to testify.

Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Florida, said Friday that McClellan, who left the White House in 2006, would be able to provide valuable insight into a number of issues under investigation by the House Judiciary Committee.

The committee is looking into the use of prewar intelligence, whether politics was behind the firing of eight U.S. attorneys in 2006 and the leaking of CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson's identity, Wexler, a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, said.

3. He'd better n/t

[spanone]

2. perino brought up the idea of white house blocking testifying. thought scotty was 'out of the loop'?

can't have it both ways

[wtmusic]

5. How can they legally "block" testimony?

Not that legality has represented any part of this admin's activities, but ferchrissake, Scott's a private citizen (I can see it now...Wexler pulling on one arm and W pulling on the other).

What children.

7. I've been stocked up with popcorn for so long, it's probably stale.

They keep screaming "executive privilege" -- they argue, reschedule the hearing and we eventually (they hope) forget all about what the heck they declared EP about.

Has anyone actually made it to a final hearing?

8. I have a strange feeling about this one. It seems carefully calculated.

I just get this weird feeling that Scott knows exactly what he's doing, in a very calculated way.

I wouldn't put your popcorn in the compost just yet.

I was thinking, now it looks like we should be glad Rove never got indicted before. It's good Fitz didn't shoot the whole load before all the facts came out.

I have this new olive oil sprayer. it works great for popcorn. I don't melt butter anymore I just spray olive oil on it. killer.
