Oh snap, they've
gone and subpoenaed Turd Blossom:
The Senate Judiciary Committee issued two more subpoenas as part of the U.S. attorney firings investigation today: one for Karl Rove and the other for his deputy, Scott Jennings. Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) announced the subpoenas on the Senate floor.
The question for Rove and Jennings, of course, is whether to take the same course taken by Rove's former aide, Sara Taylor, who appeared before the committee to answer questions that were not covered by executive privilege -- or to take the approach taken by Harriet Miers, who refused to show up at all.
The subpoenas call for Rove and Jennings to show up on August 2nd and also produce documents by that date.
Of course, I expect Rove to testify...uh, never. But still, the prospect of him getting cited for contempt of congress is delicious. Not to mention the joy if he does indeed testify. It'll be like Fitzmas in August.
