With House Democrats considering a floor vote on a contempt resolution against current and former White House aides, Republicans have begun privately plotting a public relations offensive designed to persuade the majority party to drop the issue and move on.
Top GOP leadership and Judiciary Committee staff held a strategy session Tuesday to discuss targeting conservative Democrats — especially those who represent Republican-friendly districts — with floor speeches, private lobbying and other efforts, if Democrats proceed with plans to hold top White House officials in contempt, according to participants in the meeting. Republicans called the emergency session after learning top Democrats were privately asking their members if they should force votes to hold White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and former White House counsel Harriet Miers in contempt for failing to provide testimony as part of congressional investigations.

If the Halloween Witch gets off this will allow others to follow even in the private cases. Our Justice System will be shown to allow criminals to do crimes and not be charged with it. Right now the Courts are doing with Bush's letting Libby of the hook. As for Harriet she wasn't of any interest to Americans and we only know her as the Justice nominee who didn't qualify for the job. She first appeared as a scary Halloween Witch then had a make up job and looked like a scary old lady.
