Former U.S. Attorney Todd Graves will tell his story to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Graves said Friday would testify about his removal from the Western District of Missouri post on June 5, after Congress returns from its Memorial Day recess.

“I’m proud of my record as a prosecutor, and I will not be bashful in telling them what little I know about the current mess at the Department of Justice,” Graves said in a statement.

He’s expected to testify the same day as the man who replaced him, Brad Schlozman, who has returned to the Justice Department in Washington.

The committee is expected to quiz both men about White House efforts to drum up cases against voter fraud, and whether Graves’ forced resignation stemmed from that.

3. kicking this up for the weekend!

I do think that this particular purgee (Todd Graves) is an interesting case - he is the brother to Sam Graves - the Republican Representative of the 6th District of Missouri - and Sam is a complete Bushbot.

4. He was investigating corruption in the office of the governor.

The very REPUBLICAN governor. That, right there, disqualifies him as a "bushie".

I can't wait to hear what he has to say about it.

5. I worry that these guys have never heard of Cliff Baxter, for example

when they're so bold about announcing their plans so well in advance.

He'll probably be okay, but still........
