Fired US Attorneies to testify March 6th. Subpoenas issued today.
Washington - House Judiciary Committee John Conyers today issued subpoenas against certain former U.S. Attorneys who were recently fired by the Bush Administration. The subpoenas were authorized by the Judiciary Subcommittee on Administrative Law (CAL), chaired by Congresswoman Linda Sánchez.

The subpoenas require former U.S. Attorneys David C. Iglesias, Carol Lam, H.E. Cummins, III, and John McKay to appear before a CAL Subcommittee hearing next week.

snip

Subcommittee members voted this afternoon in a public meeting. The subpoenas will be issued this evening for the U.S. Attorneys to appear before the subcommittee on Tuesday, March 6, at 2:00 pm in Room 2141 of the Rayburn House Office Building. The hearing will consider a bill by Congressman Howard Berman that would reverse a new provision in the USA PATRIOT Act allowing the Attorney General to indefinitely appoint federal prosecutors through the end of the Bush Administration without Senate confirmation.

2. Good candidate for the front page.
This is going to blow up in BushCo's face.

Subpoenas, hearings, etc.

Now if Anna Nicole can only stay dead and Britney can only stay in rehab maybe the public might even hear about this.

3. I actually think a Libby verdict will kick Anna off the headline!
The MSM hasn't reported much in the last few days because there hasn't been anything newsworthy to report!
