Published: Friday June 15, 2007


White House e-mails being withheld from a Senate committee are covered by a subpoena for documents issued earlier this week, a committee spokeswoman told RAW STORY.

The Senate Judiciary Committee is investigating the apparent creep of politics and undue White House influence into the opperations of the US Justice Department.

Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., revealed during a committee meeting Thursday that the White House found an undisclosed number of e-mails it previously said had been lost, as ThinkProgress reported.

The White House has until June 28 to comply with a subpoena issued earlier this week demanding all relevant documents related to the investigation, committee spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler told RAW STORY.

and march up to the WH front gate, demand entry, march to the oval office, say "hand it over, motherfucker!"

ok, maybe not a good idea, but a delightful pipedream

listening to Randi Rhodes and half asleep

2. And if they don't comply, the Senate will send the White House a strongly worded letter

Provided that they can agree on the wording of the letter. :eyes:

7. how many outstanding subpoenas do they have now?

isn't there one for Condi still outstanding?

[frogcycle]

10. actually, they aren't all that outstanding

they are sort of mediocre...

:)

[NewJeffCT]

12. well, our enforcement hasn't even been mediocre yet

we haven't even resorted to harsh language. Yet!

11. They mean business now!

:eyes:After they refuse to hand over emails...NOTHING will happen. It may go to court, but that could last until the end of the term. Leahy already knows he's not going to get the emails. They've already had enough time to turn them over. It's NOT going to happen. One more crime the regime will never pay for.
