It is hard to comment on the previous post but I will try to get back to it. But there will be more links added there, and it is encouraging that there will be investigations. Part of the problem of the previous post is reliable sources. Not the links I include but their sources and the contradictions that need to be waded through.
But Senator Leahy, says that when there are appearances on the hill, they will be under oath whether subpoenas are needed or the come in voluntarily. Meirs and Rove are on the list to appear but what will happen if they take the 5th? This is an area which I may speculate my not being a lawyer, but given that journalists seem to be speculating and see what that gets us, but...
1. congressional testimony may be different than regular court in dealing with administration officials
2. what if they are not officials (Rove)
3. what if they are lawyers [Meirs}
This is in the area of needing to find out and hoping to get back to you, but moving on would be just fine if there is progress in the investigations.
[3-19-07 later comments by leadership indicate subpoenas will be optional if they come in volunatarily, but being under oath will not be optional.]
