Conyers’ puts burr up Pelosi’s ass on contempt

And, about time. House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers has filed a resolution demanding Speaker Nancy Pelosi file a civil suit regarding Congressional contempt charges against Josh Bolton and Harriet Miers if Attorney General Michael Mukasey refuses to pursue the comtempt issue, as the pair continue to cite executive privilege.

Executive Director Philip Zelikow had at least two known phone calls to Karl Rove. In addition, as director of Condoleeza Rice’s National Security Agency transition team after the 2000 election, he had a major hand in demoting Bill Clinton counterterriorism czar Richard Clark.

Commission add-on Bob Kerrey threatened to resign when he found out about it, but let Chairman Tom Kean (sadly) talk him out of it.

Note: This is not just an Obama dig, but it is in part. To the degree Republican Congressmen, let alone Republican committee staff and bureaucrats learned anything in the first six years of BushCo, it’s how to roll “compromisers” in the gutter.
