House Judiciary Committee subpoenas Rove.


Thinkprogress:


The House Judiciary Committee issued a subpoena today to Karl Rove, to compel him to testify about the politicization of the Justice Department, including his involvement in the firing of nine U.S. attorneys last year and the prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman. The subpoena comes after Rove’s lawyer, Robert Luskin, wrote the Committee yesterday to say Rove would not testify voluntarily, contrary to what Luskin had indicated last month.
Update from TPM:
At the same time that the House Judiciary Committee voted to issue a subpoena to former presidential adviser Karl Rove today, it released a May 5 letter from the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility to committee Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) disclosing that the OPR is investigating "allegations of selective prosecution relating to the prosecutions of Don Siegelman, Georgia Thompson, and Oliver Diaz and Paul Minor."

Calling SPB your services is needed for Karl Christian Rove. Look he'll go to jail without your help. There are so many cases Karl is involved in and so much more he's done in the pass 7 years it will shock every American. Now some insiders wont be surprised. Remember Karl was part of the deal of the New York Port and the sale to Dubai. Poor George W. Bush didn't know anything about it until he read about it in the paper like the rest of Americans.
