JANUARY 26 20091. House Judiciary Committee Subpoenas Karl Rove, Again
..............................................................................................................
1. House Judiciary Committee Subpoenas
Karl Rove, Again
by Glynn Wilson of the Locust Fork Journal
...The subpoena calls for Mr. Rove to appear for a deposition on
Monday, February 2, 2009.
Mr. Rove has previously refused to appear in response to a Judiciary
Committee subpoena, claiming that even former presidential advisers
cannot be compelled to testify before Congress. That “absolute
immunity” position was supported by then-President Bush, but it has
been rejected by U.S. District Judge John Bates — and President
Obama has previously dismissed the claim as “completely misguided.”
“I have said many times that I will carry this investigation forward to its
conclusion, whether in Congress or in court, and today’s action is an
important step along the way,” Mr. Conyers said. Noting that the
change in administration may impact the legal arguments available to
Mr. Rove in this long-running dispute, Mr. Conyers added: “Change
has come to Washington, and I hope Karl Rove is ready for it. After
two years of stonewalling, it’s time for him to talk.”
