Rove: Pelosi 'sounds like Mad Red Queen' with arrest threat
By Justin Sink - 06/21/12 07:29 AM ET
Karl Rove said Rep. Nancy Pelosi was "dead wrong" when she suggested Wednesday that she could have had him arrested.
"The only way I could have been arrested is if the House adopted the resolution, which it did not," the Republican operative and former adviser to President George W. Bush told Fox News on Wednesday night.
"So, it's nice to know that Speaker Pelosi wanted to have me arrested. It's nice to know that she thinks she had the power to but we're still a nation of laws and she has no authority to do so and had she attempted to arrest on any of the number times that I was in and out of the Capitol, without a resolution passed by the entire House of Representatives she would have been up the proverbial creek without the proverbial paddle."

(4,788 posts)confusing a comment with a threat. A comment, like Ms. Pelosi's was, says 'we could have, but we didn't'. A threat is "we are going to". Ah, English can be so confusing at times.

(21,475 posts)sent the Sargeant of Arms to get Rove and yes that would have been a legal arrest.. she did not and because of that they got the idea they could ignore every subpoena and in fact they did.. Subpoenas become worthless during the Bush* Administration....
