Ex-Bush Aide Won't Answer Senate Queries
By LAURIE KELLMAN 07.11.07, 10:59 AM ET


Loyal even after leaving the White House, President Bush's former
political director Sara M. Taylor obeyed his instructions and
declined to answer Congress' questions Wednesday about her role
in the firings of federal prosecutors.

But Democrats insisted that the decision to cooperate with their
subpoena - or not - is hers.

"It is apparent that this White House is contemptuous of the
Congress and feels that it does not have to explain itself to
anybody," Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said
as he opened the hearing. "I urge Ms. Taylor not to follow that
contemptuous position and not to follow the White House down this
path."

Taylor, who met briefly with Leahy before the hearing, said she
would answer only limited questions to comply with her former boss'
orders, unless a court orders her to comply with the congressional
subpoena instead.

1. Unfortunately the WH has figured out that Sen Leahy is a windbag

who will huff and puff and turn pink and talk all sorts of shit and then do absolutely jack shit about anything.

Until these crooks get tangled up with the House judiciary committee, they have nothing to worry about.
