WAXMAN Gives WH Until 9/10 To Turn Over E-Mail Info - Or Else....

Waxman requests missing e-mail information Nick Juliano
Published: Thursday August 30, 2007

The chairman of Congress's investigative committee is requesting information from the White House about up to 5 million missing e-mails after the Bush administration rebuffed an independent group's attempt to learn about the White House's record-keeping practices.

Rep. Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, wrote to White House Counsel Fred F. Fielding requesting reports produced within the White House about the missing e-mails.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a private watchdog, previously requested the reports under the Freedom of Information Act, but the White House denied it request with an unorthodox -- and precedent reversing -- claim that the Office of Administration, which maintained the records, was not subject to the public records law.

...............................

Waxman gives the White House until Sept. 10 to turn over the requested information, which he first requested three months ago, though he does not specify consequences if they refuse. If White House fails to hand over the information, Waxman could issue a formal subpoena and eventually pursue contempt of Congress charges if the administration does not cooperate.

1. Or else?

What's he going to do? Write them a very strong letter? :banghead:

[The Doctor.]

21. Oh no... he'll do more than that...

He'll write a strongly worded letter...

It just pisses me right the fuck off to think that if the shoe were on the other foot, the Republican congressional response would have been to invoke inherent contempt the day after their subpoenas were 'ignored'.

[flyarm]

27. yes and if the shoe were on the other foot, the media would be all over it!

but what does the media do when these bastards do this..crickets!

CRICKETS, CRICKETS, CRICKETS............


FLY

2. Or else we'll get mad at you!

:eyes:

Can't wait to see the repercussions of this one. Will they get a Time-Out in the corner or will they be sent to their rooms for a day?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

25. not just mad, REALLY REALLY MAD. and a really nasty letter.

with proper postage affixed, this time, you can bet. It will be a letter like no letters before. a REAL letter. A really serious letter.

[stirlingsliver]

3. "Though he does not specify consequences if they refuse."

"Or else".....

What???

Tell us what you will do, Henry.

Or will you, too, be ruled by a calculator instead of the Constitution???

4. 9/11, 2007 is sounding more and more interesting

The Iran attack threat, the General Strike and Waxman's wrath.

Sort of the unholy trifecta.

[snappyturtle]

8. Unholy trifecta.....perfect!

I truly can't figure out why Waxman is prolonging the "deadline".........three months now?

[TNOE]

11. EXACTLY!

Remember before 9/11/01 - the missing trillion dollars from the Pentagon - and Bush said he would deal with it and his "budget" after 9/11/01.

HE KNEW that wasn't going to be happening.

[DianaForRussFeingold]

28. 9/10/01 Donald Rumsfeld announced that 2.3 Trillion Missing

:blush: Rumsfeld 1 Day Before 911 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlnQTcLHaMM&mode=related&search= :hide: Next ' video is taken from a report on Fox News that was made within hours of the 9/11 attacks. The person reporting is current White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, who was Fox news personality on 9/11/01. The report states, ironically enough, that two offices that were in the Pentagon section that was hit were related to terrorism. One was the "New office of Homeland Defense" and another office that deals with fighting limited wars against terrorism. Amazing Coincidence." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIrM4ZmLdPw

[wake.up.america]

5. Good day for a deadline. 9/11 would have been better .

[GOTV]

6. Or he will invoke DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION!

"Waxman could issue a formal subpoena and eventually pursue contempt of Congress charges if the administration does not cooperate."

Why would anyone take congress's threats seriously anymore?

Turn them over or we will taunt you a second time!

[The Doctor.]

24. "Double Dog contempt of Congress!"

We just have to wheel out the Trojan Rabbit.

[Nightjock]

7. I hope this does not play out like that Monty Python sketch

Where the police officer yells at the fleeing crook, "STOP! .....Or I'll shout STOP again!"

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

10. That's Our Congress!!!

EVERYTIME I hear that Congress is objecting to something new, I Immediately think of that scene.

"STOP!!!!!!!!!! Or I'll Say Stop Again!!"

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

9. Or Else....He'll Extend Deadline To 10/10 nt

[JTFrog]

12. Turn them over, or I shall taunt you a second time! n/t

[Atman]

13. It's an old Charlie Brown cartoon

Lucy was tempting him with the football again.

Charlie Brown was thinking, "I'm not going to fall for this again...I'm going to kick that football!...If she pulls it away again I...I...I don't know what I'll do!"

Sure enough, Lucy pulls the football away and Charlie falls flat on his back again.

As he lay there, stars spinning around his head, Charlie says..."I was right...I didn't know what to do."





Go get 'em, Henry. :eyes:

14. Owwwwww! Let go of my hair man!

Now young man, I have talked to you and talked
to you and talked to you till I'm blue in the face and
I'm done talking to you!

Good, does that mean you're done spitting on me too?

Shut up, I'm not done talking to you. Now turn around
and bend over.


W-What are you going to do, you pervert?

[rateyes]

15. Or else...

I'll have to whine and complain a little bit louder, and threaten you with a "time-out."

Puhleeeeeeeeeze.....enough with the letters....let's see some ACTION.

[Jack Rabbit]

16. Or else he'll huff and he'll puff and blow the White House down?

It's time to stop issuing subpoenas and start issuing contempt citations.

[cascadiance]

29. How about "or else... HE CALLS SIBEL EDMONDS IN TO TESTIFY AGAINST ALL OF THE BUMS!"

[Jack Rabbit]

30. That would be nice

I'll believe it when it happens.

[LiberalEsto]

17. Let's ALL hold our breath

until we turn blue......

[robinlynne]

18. again?

[Disturbed]

19. Will Waxman issue an Inherent Contempt order on that General

who ignored Waxman's Subpoena?

[cali]

20. Oh, goody, let's all trash Waxman.

He's such a useless blowhard. Fuck all democrats. Yeah, that's the ticket.

[The Stranger]

22. Why in the fuck are we waiting until September 10?

DO SOMETHING AND DO IT NOW!

[Bitwit1234]

23. And December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008 and January 19, 2009

[onewholaughsatfools]

31. wax man already knows

bush has taken his ball and gone home and will not play... this is just silly bullshit.....I assumed Dem's would be getting tough in September, I guess it was only a rumor.......

[KoKo]

32. Meh..! So, WH says they need extension until Thanksgiving and another

letter goes out demanding the info by Christmas....and then there's another delay until President's Day and then WH delays until Easter then it goes on and on and on.

Time has passed ....we look like idiots who can't hold this renegade P-Resident accountable for anything. We just let him do "handshakes" as his criminal cronies exit the WH and move on to Carlyle Group or AEI or one of the other think tanks or "Privatized Govt." corps who are already working for the crime family.

UGH.

[blogslut]

33. Who will protect Little boots now?

His enforcer and his trusted adviser are gone. And will Darth Cheney really be able to bully the congress and protect his Death Star? Stay tuned...
