Harriet Myers fingered Rove during congressional testimony!
Edited on Tue Aug-11-09 03:39 PM by cynatnite
The House Judiciary Committee released thousands of pages of new documents concerning the firing of nine US Attorneys under the Bush Administration — and they heavily implicate the office of onetime Bush adviser Karl Rove.

Moreover, former Bush Supreme Court pick and legal advisor Harriet Miers fingered Rove during her testimony to Congressional investigators.

In an effort to provide an earliest glance at the documents’ contents, RAW STORY has reprinted highlights from a release issued by the Committee Tuesday afternoon. The Committee released, in total, 5,400 pages of White House and Republican National Committee e-mails.

Emails obtained by the Democrat-led committee reveal that Rove and his office were involved in the firing of New Mexico US Attorney David Iglesias, who Republicans had criticized as not aggressively prosecuting voter fraud cases — which would have benefited Republicans. According to the committee, Rove and his staff were involved “months earlier than previously known.”

“For example,” the release notes, “in May and June 2005, Rove aide Scott Jennings sent emails to Tim Griffin (also in Rove’s office) asking ‘what else I can do to move this process forward’ and stressing that ‘I would really like to move forward with getting rid of NM US ATTY.’ In June 2005, Harriet Miers emailed that a ‘decision’ had been made to replace Iglesias. At this time, DOJ gave Iglesias top rankings, so this decision was clearly not just the result of the White House following the Department’s lead as Rove and Miers have maintained.”

12. You had to say it, didn't you?
I hadn't thought that until reading your comment. Now I want to un-think it.

11. I'm now at page 60 in Mier's testimony and she can't remember jack shit.
I should have kept count of how many times she has failed to recall - its amazing.

17. Right.
My impression is that she provided more cover for Rove, than anything else.

18. An awful lot of it is but in truth she is covering her own ass too
She is treating every question - and I mean every question - as if it were hypothetical and she's giving her opninion on if it was something she might or might not have said. They put an E-Mail she wrote in front of her and she says that it looks like something she might have said. They show her a string of E-mails discussing something and she says she never saw it before in her life and isn't sure what the people are talking about - even though she is one of the only two people involved. Its just amazing.

13. Okay, I only know one meaning of the word "fingered"...
I'm assuming there are multiple definitions.
