“The Senate and House Intelligence Committees are asking former attorney general John Ashcroft to testify about a March 2004 hospital-room confrontation during which he refused to sign off on a continuation of President Bush’s warrantless eavesdropping program.”

The sources, who asked not to identified talking about sensitive matters, said the Senate Intelligence Committee has tentatively scheduled a closed-door hearing for later this month. The panel plans to question Ashcroft, his former chief of staff David Ayres and former deputy attorney general James Comey about a heated dispute with the White House that roiled the Justice Department three years ago. The House committee is also planning a separate closed-door hearing with Ashcroft, according to a spokeswoman for Ashcroft.

Too bad it's a closed hearng.

with crimes? Did Busholini personaly call Mrs. Asscroft to demand that Gonzo and Card be allowed the visit? She should be called to testify, as well.

ONE thing done eventually. With all the crime committed, they have made zero progress.

Sing, Ashkkkroft, sing.

We will hold a hearing. You are not invited. By the way, you will never know the results..."It's a secret". What bullshit! But, hey, keep voting for us Dems cause you just never know...We may suprise you and actually vote in the interest of the people. Yeah, that will happen!...maybe...someday...

useless.

Must be stressful for the guilty to not know who is saying what!!

And what was said before the public testimony.

Today, the Committee welcomes former Deputy Attorney General James Comey to testify as part of its investigation into the mass firings and replacements of U.S. Attorneys. Mr. Comey comes to us at a time when the Department of Justice -- a Department where he served as the second, highest-ranking official-- is experiencing a crisis of leadership. ......

I thank Mr. Comey for appearing before the Committee today. His appearance on the heels of his successor’s resignation is a reminder that we need to restore the Department of Justice to a place deserving of its name. The way we do that is get to the truth.

The Committee has requested cooperation from the Administration and I hope the information and cooperation requested will finally be forthcoming. If the White House has done nothing improper, then they have nothing to hide. .............
