Judiciary releases witness list for Kucinich "impeachment" hearing

[DogPoundPup]

The House Judiciary Committee has released its witness list for Friday's hearing on Rep. Dennis Kucinich's (D-Ohio) impeachment resolution. One big surprise — a House Republican will testify.

Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.), a huge critic of President Bush's policy in Iraq, is scheduled to appear before the Judiciary Committee, according to a witness list just released by the panel.

Former Rep. Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party's presidential candidate, is also scheduled to testify. Barr was a Republican from Georgia during four terms in the House.

Kucinich, as expected, will testify as well.

Here's the full witness list released by the Judiciary Committee for Friday's session:

The Honorable Dennis Kucinich, Representative from Ohio
The Honorable Maurice Hinchey, Representative from New York
The Honorable Walter Jones, Representative from North Carolina
The Honorable Brad Miller, Representative from North Carolina

Panel Two

The Honorable Elizabeth Holtzman, Former Representative from New York
The Honorable Bob Barr, Former Representative from Georgia, 2008 Libertarian Nominee for President

2. Barr is best known for his role as one of the House managers during the Clinton impeachment trial.

Robert Laurence "Bob" Barr, Jr. is the Libertarian Party nominee for President of the United States in the 2008 election.

3. even though it will have no power or effect on leg, this should be interesting.

Maybe after this we'll leave Pelosi alone about impeachment.

11. Dennis Kucinich said yesterday on the Peter B. Collins show...

...that because this came together so quickly, they weren't able to get this person to be at the hearing in person, but the communication Dennis received will be introduced.

Peter B. Collins just finished interviewing Fein. That'll be in the archives later at The Peter B. Collins Show website. He interviewed Rep. Maxine Waters first; both are in the first hour of the three-hour show.
