They proposed that if a majority didn't vote to indict the accusing party would have 45 days to either indict or drop it. That is very sneaky. What they have done is make it impossible to disclose to the public any investigations until they have investigated to the fullest extent and come up with the smoking gun. Furthermore they are going to have a real hard time investigating someone (and that includes Blackwell, Rove, Cheney, Bush, etc.) without access to the funds that would be made available to them if they did announce their intentions to indict. It is a sticky mess. the Thugs thought they were mucking up the issue enough that the public couldn't understand it's implications. From what I can tell the minute Conyers calls for an investigation the clock starts ticking for them to come up wit the smoking gun. That is why the thugs started harping on about conspiracy theories and bad mouthing everyone that had the nerve to speak up.

The fact that all these Senators and Reps were willing to stand up yesterday tells me they either think they have enough to find the smoking gun, HAVE the smoking gun, or just thought they'd rattle a few thugs into submission over something more important. The Thugs are scared and I think they ought to be.

I am trying to make this explanation as simple as possible, I'm sure I've missed a few nuances here and there but I think my interpretation is fairly accurate.
