The Senate subpoenaed the White House and Vice President Dick Cheney's office Wednesday, demanding documents and elevating the confrontation with President Bush over the administration's warrant-free eavesdropping on Americans.
Game on.
Separately, the Senate Judiciary Committee also is summoning Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to discuss the program and an array of other matters that have cost a half-dozen top Justice Department officials their jobs, committee chairman Patrick Leahy announced.
Check.
Also named in subpoenas signed by Leahy were the Justice Department and the National Security Council. The four parties have until July 18 to comply.[...]
"If there have been lies told to us, we'll refer it to the Department of Justice and the U.S. attorney for whatever legal action they think is appropriate," Leahy told reporters.
Square one.
There for a minute, I thought we might have a game. Whatever legal action the DoJ thinks is appropriate? And, tell me again who the head of the DoJ is....some guy named Gonzales, isn't it?
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
