[cspanlovr]

1. Thanks...watching now.

[MiniMe]

2. Leahy " What is the WH hiding?"

Love it, love Leahy

[malaise]

3. Thanks watching

Anyone have the Senate link.

[Subdivisions]

4. I hope we see some fireworks. It would be nice to

see some truth for once.

[MiniMe]

6. Yeah, but if Taylor doesn't testify, then I doubt it

[orleans]

5. i'm on it--for awhile.

what is it that the wh is so intent on hiding they cannot even identify the documents
edit: apparent this wh is contemptuous of congress

[HCE SuiGeneris]

7. thanks and

:kick:

[NewJeffCT]

8. Please summarize for us cuberats

thanks!

[Drum]

9. Good opening speech, Senator Leahy!

:thumbsup:

[G_Leo_Criley]

10. cnn has reported a few minutes ago ...

that Taylor will not testify -- That she will refuse.

glc

ps - what is the White House hiding?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

11. Leahy. the WH is contemptous of Congress. I hope Ms. Taylor will answer questions

and not be contemptuous of Congress.

[Drum]

12. And no, I presume,

Spector will start dribbling water on the campfire. Mr. Short-circuit. :( He seems pretty averse to open sessions and testimony under oath. What a chickenshit.

[sinkingfeeling]

13. We don't need an oath, we can have a closed session as long as there's a transcript, says

Specter.

[G_Leo_Criley]

14. Specter up

and doing comedy act. He would like Taylor to not have to testify under oath.
Oh, and it would be nice if this could be behind closed doors.

glc

[orleans]

15. arlen's yapping now. talked to other senators about taking up

wh offer--"we can do without the oath"

(FUCK YOU ARLEN!)

"do with a closed session, tho i would prefer to see it open" but he wants a transcript

but he would be prepared to take this without a transcript

[bdamomma]

40. oh geez, Spector is still kissing these thugs asses, and telling

the committee that she does not have to take the oath?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

16. Specter talking now. Wants them to take up WH offer to meet informally..without oath

(although Specter wants them under oath) and without a transcript, but he would like a transcript. He would be willing to not have a transcript. He is such a fucking whore.

[ThomWV]

20. I think you may have misunderstood him

I believe he said he didn't care about it being under oath because there are laws against an official lieing to Congress anyway. I can agree with that myself to be honest with you. An oath isn't necessary to lock up someone who lies to Congress. He did say that a transcript was absolutly necessary though. I agree with that too. He did say he would agree to closed door meetings - and that is unaccceptable.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

24. This is like trying to figure out Greenspan speak.

:crazy:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

26. No, I did not misunderstand. He did then bumble that he would even want a meeting without

a transcript although he preferred one. Closed doors is totally unacceptable!

[orleans]

17. arlen believes continued tenure of attorney general (gonzo) is

not in the national interest

[Dragonbreathp9d]

18. I thought she was going to testify anyway?

was her family threatened?

[G_Leo_Criley]

19. Specter....

Now talking about the many abuses by Gonzo

[orleans]

21. arlen: "if it goes to court it will take two years" n/t

[Skip Intro]

32. So are we ordering a big mac or trying to pursue justice, arlen? n/t

[bdamomma]

45. yea, so what, take it court.

they are criminals you know.

[Oilwellian]

22. Arlen Spector is an enemy of the United States (eom)

[mod mom]

23. Spector says criminial contempt is not warranted.

[ThomWV]

25. Will she talke, will she squawk, or will she just sit down and lay an egg?

What will she do?

[sinkingfeeling]

35. She'll probably do nothing more than perhaps a statement.

[Drum]

27. Spector sounds like Taylor's defense attorney...

I so do not trust this putz...he has sold out time and time again, no matter what the offense that aggrieves him during press conferences. :(

[orleans]

28. arlen counts 7 democrats, and said he could use some company! n/t

[Drum]

31. If he changed parties, he'd meet lots of nice people!

:D

[ThomWV]

29. Specter is the only Republican There?

[ThomWV]

36. If no Republicans are there and they vote today for Contempt of Congress Citation

Against her then we win for today.

[ThomWV]

I Can Not Wait To Hear Russ Fiengold

[MiniMe]

30. Typical, the repukes don't show up

[orleans]

33. leahy explains why we're not taking the wh offer

no follow up is unacceptable


schumer is talking now

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

34. Leahy, the so-called offer from the WH, every time no transcripts, closed doors, no follow-up etc,

totally unacceptable.

[mod mom]

37. Shumer up. IT IS A GAG ORDER.

[orleans]

38. "prez has issued a gag order, he can dress it up all he wants..."

but it is a gag order

[G_Leo_Criley]

39. schumer...

This is a gag order.

"at all costs to avoid telling the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth"

"I hope the president wakes up."

You go Schumer!

[orleans]

41. yeah, about bushie waking up...

HAHAHAHA! that ain't happening. unless, of course, someone gives him one of his shots.

[G_Leo_Criley]

46. LOL! n/t

[mod mom]

42. Grassley: Congress needs to be able to preform oversight.

Sara Taylor is from Iowa. Grassley met her when she was 6 years old.

[G_Leo_Criley]

43. grassley arrives and is up

Here to let you know that Sara Taylor is a wonderful person.

[bdamomma]

58. oh what BS, she committed a crime didn't she?

what is this "she's a wonderful person" shit?

[Drum]

44. Grassley on now...

providing a sweet sepia-toned flashback of Iowan Taylor. I can almost hear the background music....

[mod mom]

67. Document w series of emails (Sara + Kyle Sampson) Her RNC address she used

it a fair amount-regularly.

Why did you use it for US Attorney firings?

she didn't want to violate the Hatch Act.

[KoKo]

47. So Sen. Grassley has known Taylor since she was 6 yrs old...Mole in the WH

who could give Senate strategy to Bush...and vice versa. :wow:

[Virginia Dare]

60. One of many, no doubt...n/t

[Hubert Flottz]

48. Senator Ghastly is Bush's Boy!

:puke:

[MiniMe]

49. OMG, she doesn't sound like a mouse

However, she admires Bush.

[A wise Man]

50. OOPs another but kissing "DRONE"

[G_Leo_Criley]

51. president has directed her not to testify

about white house and dismissal of us attorneys.

[orleans]

52. i intend to follow the prez instruction -- ARGH!

[G_Leo_Criley]

57. i will answer questions if a court directs me to

[Stinky The Clown]

53. Her tone and words are essentially "Fuck You"

Cite her ass right now.

Throw her in jail.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

61. Another Shub loving enabler. This rPesident above country. Jail would be a good

place for her to rethink her priorities.

[eleny]

78. She's hardboiled for sure

And she's also up against well seasoned Dem attorneys. Leahy's lacing into her pretty well.

[shanti]

118. "thanks for understanding"....

:eyes: smarmy little *%$*

[Drum]

54. Hmmm...this is sounding like there'll be no truthful testimony after all....

x(

[ThomWV]

55. She refuses to talk and invites the Committe to take it to a judge

Said she'll talk if a judge tells her to

[PA Democrat]

66. I think she needs to spend some time in jail for contempt of Congress.

Is you or I refused to testify before a grand jury, we'd be in jail.

[bdamomma]

68. then take the case to the judge.

and did she really say the President has instructed her not to talk?

[G_Leo_Criley]

95. yes

via a letter from the president's lawyer, Fielding.

[Skip Intro]

56. Guess they'll be talking about American Idol???

[KoKo]

59. Taylor says take it to the Courts to Decide whether I can testify under subpoena...

[KoKo]

63. She's 32 years old....wielding lots of power.....lots of power.

[peace13]

71. And... she has worked for the *resident for 8 years!

Imagine. What could her resume have looked like at age 24 that made her qualified?

[librechik]

119. she'll be a grandma before it gets settled

smug little beeotch.

[jgraz]

62. Starts out with a lie -- nice move

[Viva_La_Revolution]

64. ...

:popcorn:

[A wise Man]

65. I think we should just

go to the "WH" and arrest everyone that moves inside that building. I'm so sick of these lying fucking kool-aid drinking aliens.

[GreenPartyVoter]

69. I would like to K&R your reply

[A wise Man]

85. She doesn't have executive priviledge

[bdamomma]

79. that would really shake them up wouldn't it??? they wouldn't expect it

if we paided them a visit at the WH, cause they keep on spoon feeding us FEAR everyday.

[MiniMe]

70. So she cares about the Hatch Act, but not the Presidential Records Act

Do I have that right?

[Subdivisions]

Yep, and I think Leahy may be headed somewhere with this tact...

[G_Leo_Criley]

112. I think so too Texas E. n/t

[mod mom]

72. She admits a violation of the law is a violation of the law.

[madokie]

73. Go Senator Leahy

[helderheid]

74. Someone hand her a shovel!

[madokie]

75. a bed pan may be in order

[MiniMe]

76. Leahy has her stuttering already

[Drum]

77. Go Senator!

I can almost hear Taylor sweating!

[G_Leo_Criley]

80. LEAHY!!!!

Go go go Sen. Leahy!

[madokie]

81. did she fuck up or what

coming here, bush* you guys are so busted

[Subdivisions]

86. SO BUSTED!!!

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

87. Her make-up is approaching her neck at this point.

[GreenPartyVoter]

109. What? What'd she say?!

[madokie]

115. You would just have to see it as well to get the full effect

her is out of her league

[mod mom]

82. Have you reviewed the emails? Her attorney reviewed the emails.

If she had an email the attorney determined if they would go to the WH for determination.

Her attorney went through them & sent to the WH NOT to the Senate Judiciary.

[mod mom]

83. Did you speak to the pResident about replacing US Attorneys.

Mr Fieldings says don't answer.

[jimshoes]

84. This galls me beyond anger

The white house is an ongoing criminal enterprise that needs serious jail time if not more drastic measures.

[MiniMe]

88. Leahy trying to ask her general questions, with no content to reveal

And ST refuses to answer the question.

[annabanana]

89. I have a letter. . . I have a letter. . .. . I have a letter

[annabanana]

90. My My Sara.. The air is BRACING here outside the bubble, isn't it?

[mod mom]

91. Specter up. He thinks declining to answer was correct based on WH counsel.

[MiniMe]

98. At least he said he doesn't think the WH counsel is right

and it has to be determined by the courts.

[Drum]

92. Stonewall is up, and now it's Spector's turn to admire it.

He's defending her again!!!

:mad:

[bdamomma]

93. Kyle Sampson, Sarah Taylor and who was the other girl who

testified (her name escapes me right now) they are all foot soldiers for Bush's loyalty party, and take the hits for this filthy administration.

[Stinky The Clown]

104. Monica Goodling

Goodling the Gosling

[bdamomma]

114. yea thanks her, another soldier who said nothing too.

these people are way over their heads.

[kath]

117. A "girl"? - was there a child who testified?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

94. F*ck the courts! If she was called to testify in an Impeachment proceeding she'd have to answer! nt

[jgraz]

105. That can't possibly be true

The Dems have said repeatedly that the want to get at the truth. Surely, they wouldn't avoid such a powerful tool if it could help their investigations...


Oh yeah: :sarcasm:

[mod mom]

96. Question raised about Bud Cummins then later replacedby Tim Griffin.

She knew Griffin.

[Stinky The Clown]

97. CITE HER FOR CONTEMPT ........

.... and haul her cocky ass off to the hoosegow.

Her attitude is in your face and 'Fuck you, Congress".

Sentence her to a Kool Aide Withdrawal Diet while she serves her time.

[eleny]

102. I want to watch her squirm a lot longer

I want every Dem up there to grill her and let her parrot herself over and over. I want her to break into a sweat. She's already starting to glow. it shouldn't take too long!

Watch your pressure, Stinky!

[eleny]

99. Now Specter is rehabilitating Griffin

sheesh.

[mod mom]

100. Griffin was a JAG officer & prosecutor. About Cummins, she heard he planned to leave.

[orleans]

101. IF THOSE EMAILS ON THE RNC SERVER WERE SENT DURING

OFFICE HOURS --THAT'S ILLEGAL (from what i understand) because they were being sent while we were paying these assholes!

why doesn't anyone bring that up??

[eleny]

107. She said she may have used the wrong computer at times

Covering her ass on that one. But it surely opens it to illegal use during office hours!

[orleans]

120. i don't understand why anyone doesn't bring this fact up! all these

pukes were dicking around with their personal politiking on THE GOVERNMENT'S TIME! ON MY DIME!

[buzzard]

103. What a waste of time I guess it will have to be decided in the courts if Executive Privilege

applies.

[mod mom]

106. Cummins forced out? Brings up Prez Exec Priviledge. Cummins was leaving.

He had 4 children and were heading to college. We identified an EXCEPTIONALLY qualified candidate.

[Drum]

108. but she IS talking about the US Attorneys matter...

I hope that she lets something slip that can compromise her "I've got a letter" defense and wedge into some real cross-examination....

[mod mom]

110. How do account for McNultys conclusion about removal? She doesn't know all the

conversations but she thinks poor communication.

[unhappycamper]

111. Thread #2 now up on GD

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1302325

[catmandu57]

113. She should be led out in chains

to prison until she decides to tell the truth. These sons of bitches like building prisons, let's build a special prison for all of them to make up their minds to testify or spend the rest of their unnatural lives there wishing they had.

[A wise Man]

116. She thinks she's GONZO
