As much satisfaction as Bush administration critics will get out of the contempt citations, which were approved by the Judiciary Committee last July, finally getting the endorsement of the full House, it is unlikely that they would lead to prosecution any time soon. Attorney General Michael Mukasey recently told Congress he would not prosecute the contempt charges because Bolten and Miers were following Bush's order that they not appear.
(Raw Story)
The citations involved are the ones the House passed yesterday against ex-almost Supreme Court Justice Harriet Miers and that walrus guy, whereupon the Rs staged a walk-out while accusing the Ds of "political grandstanding." Ds shouted back, "So's yer old man."
