The attorney scandal runs deep!

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) has raised concerns over the resignation of Los Angeles' US Attorney Debra Yang. Yang resigned one month or so before the eight firings in question (which places her resignation right in time with the questionable phone calls that David Iglesias received). Interestingly, her resignation occurred five months after she opened an investigation into Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA), who allegedly has ties to the "Duke" Cunningham corruption case.

Coincidence? Hmm...

The House Judiciary Committee is ready to go to war with the Bushies, issuing subpoenas for Karl Rove, Harriet Miers, and William Kelley. This could present a Constitutional crisis.

Tony Snow claims that the White House's denial of sworn testimony by their aides is "executive privilege." Ironic, isn't it, that he argued that White House aides should certainly be forced to testify - in 1998, when it was President Clinton's aides facing a potential subpoena!

Another Republican spoke his mind about this situation. Former Rep. Bob Barr (R-GA), a former US Attorney (under Reagan) himself, said, on CNN, "[T]he Judiciary Committees in both the House and the Senate have a pretty clear right to demand information that relates to the propriety of the running of the Department of Justice."

A New York Times editorial excoriating Bush for his threats to Congress regarding subpoenas.
