"The BRAD BLOG has learned that Congressmen John Conyers (D-MI) and Barney Frank (D-MA) have inquired with officials at the Library of Congress' Congressional Research Service this afternoon into whether impeachment proceedings would be appropriate for Senior White House Officials.

The release of a letter by the two congressmen was accompanied by a press release from the office of the ranking minority House Judiciary Committee member, John Conyers. In the letter, the two seek clarification from "a neutral authority" of whether the U.S. Constitution's Article II, regarding impeachment of a sitting President and Vice-President and "all civil officers", would apply to Deputy Chief of Staff, Karl Rove who is currently embroiled in the on-going criminal investigation into who leaked classified information concerning the outting of covert CIA agent, Valerie Plame."



Peace.

2. "the grave abuse of power and unethical manner in which Mr. Rove ....
.... has been engaged, impeachment may well be an appropriate response. This issue could be relevant in cases where there may be some uncertainty about the willingness of the Executive Branch, in which the criminal prosecution power lies, fully to use that power against someone so close to the President.

"We have asked a neutral legal authority whose function it is to advise Congress to give us the best judgment of its experts on this question, and we will speak with our colleagues about proceeding accordingly after we have received this advice," concluded Frank.

Now that's "smokin'um out" if I've ever seen it.

4. Bu$h swats at an insect; Rove holds coat.
Just in case we need in further evidence regarding the "...willingness of the Executive Branch, in which the criminal prosecution power lies, fully to use that power against someone so close to the President.-- Check this from Americablog:

Pool Report #4, 7/15/05
NORTH CAROLINA TO ANDREWS

On the tarmac in North Carolina, your pool was able to walk briefly alongside the president and ask if he still had faith in Karl Rove. The question was met with a stare straight ahead, silence and a quick brush-off motion of Bush's left hand, as if the president were Swatting away an insect.

Karl himself was more jovial on the tarmac, where when surrounded by reporters he grinned and held up the president's suit jacket, as if to say that he was a coat-holder and nothing more. The president at this point was under the hot sun in shirt sleeves signing autographs for a crowd of onlookers.

Despite his antics, Karl answered no questions, and soon trundled quickly away from your pool toward the stairs of Air Force One.

Other than that, nothing of interest happened. The president signed autographs for nearly half an hour. Air Force One took off around 2:30 p.m., and we're now airborne.

Touchdown at 3:31 p.m.

Oh Georgie boy, each swat of your hand is another act of conspiracy to withhold the truth from us, just in case you didn't know.


Peace.
