Conyers On Rove: "We'll Hold Him In Contempt"

Just off the House floor today, the Crypt overheard House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers tell two other people: "We're closing in on Rove. Someone's got to kick his ass."

Asked a few minutes later for a more official explanation, Conyers told us that Rove has a week to appear before his committee. If he doesn't, said Conyers, "We'll do what any self-respecting committee would do. We'd hold him in contempt. Either that or go and have him arrested."

Keep reading.

No one is better at the Big Lie than Rove. When he is under oath in front of Congress, he will no doubt commit perjury. Congress must pursue this investigation wherever it may lead.

[Dayahka]

Conyers is a blowhard. If he wants to get serious, he needs to hold Bush in contempt.

[saun8934]

Wake up people! Rove is behind every decision Dubya has made. He is definitely the mastermind behind Dubya's whole pathetic 8 year term.

Dayahka,

You are a blowhard. The way you get Bush is to put Rove on the stand, under oath, and ask questions about his boss. He squeals in order to walk - Bush takes the fall.

Conyers is a hero. You are a neophyte.

[FirstShirt]

He takes the 5th and walks. Why don't you guys who are so anxious to have political trials read the constitution.

[whatnowgop]

Rove is out of office and would be easier to drag his pork butt in front of Congress. I think Ford was the only President to testify in front of Congress. Bush could do as he always does and invoke his executive powers and drag it out.

As Dayahka said, if you get to Rove you get the the whole stinking criminal organization and it could lead to revealing a lot more including massive election fraud involving the U.S. Attorney firings.

BEWARE OF FAKE COMMENTERS: Intercepted E-Mail To Create Dem Division Being Secretly Circulated by GOPers

IMPORTANT
This information is not to be posted to any of our usual forums
and should be emailed only to people you know personally and
completely trust.

Here is the updated game plan.

Step one: Register a bunch of user accounts on lefty blogs.
*Create false identities equally divided between Obama and Clinton
supporters. Initially play it cool. Don't make more than two
accounts per blog one for each candidate. Too many accounts
from the same ip and you will be outed as a sock puppet. Dont
do anything drastic that would get you banned. Lurk for a while
at first so you can learn how they talk. Liberals are like a
different species. Dont
start an all out flame war right away begin with small insults.
The idea is to poison the tone of discussion but do it so slowly
that they dont realize where its coming from. You want the
liberal sheep to get caught up in it and start doing our work for
us.
Step three: As the Democ-rat nomination narrows in on a
candidate crank up the heat. The loser
ident should start calling for a voter boycott on the winner.
You may not be able to peal off voters to our side but
demotivating them so they stay home is almost as good.

That's pretty funny. Repugs are just too easy to spot. Watch for bad grammar, poor syntax, and "creative" spelling.

I'm really worried.

[FlowerGirl]

Is Geraldine Ferraro a fake identity?

[neoconjob]

good question..­. let's pursue that line of inquiry, shall we?

[tlcutter]

Get a life!!!

[booker52]

I'll believe when I see it.

[CLEDUC]

Love to see it happen. It would be a great sidebar to the general election.

[McSameisthegame]

When I see this traitor, Rove, in jail, I will make a contribution to the DEMS! Ever since that gutless whiner,Pelosi, took impeachment "off the table" I have held my cash in escrow for them! If the Rethugs can impeach Slick willie for lying under oath about a BJ-surely the Dems can find countless reasons to nail the BUSH/CHENEY dictatorship!!!

Rep Conyers On Rove: We'll "Hold Him In Contempt. Either That Or Go And Have Him Arrested"

is there a countdown clock we can watch or are conyer's words merely ...talk

also, is there a video camera trained on rove's house so when the troopers drop in it'll all be on tape

[Doubtom43]

For a guy who already is held in contempt by a majority of the nation, of what use is it to include "contempt of Congress"? For Chrissakes arrest the SOB and have done with it!

[Larry of Corrales]

talk's cheap

[DBriz]

Blah, blah, blah. More lies coming from Conyers. Please, Mr. Conyers, we are tired of being strung along only to see you consistently wimp out. Get off the pot, buddy, and do your duty to this country and impeach already! Otherwise, you are nothing but a big bag of hot air and starting to appear just as guilty as bush/cheney by refusing to take action. I had a lot of respect for you, man. But, not anymore. You, Pelosi, and the rest are all losers and I'd like to see everyone of you voted out of office.

[disgusted48]

Rove and the rest of the criminals could possibly be pardoned if they are indicted before bush leaves office.

[Tommygun264]

As an American, I am ashamed of the criminal actions of the Bush/Cheney crime administration. I am also ashamed of the members of Congress from both parties who thus far have refused to uphold the law, especially those who run for re-election on ending the war and bringing the criminals to justice, but then once their seats are safe say, "we really want to, but we don't want to waste our time with Impeachment hearings because we don't have the votes in the Senate". I'm talking to you, Conyers. Until you actually follow through on your tough talk, you will be no better than the lazy cop who stands by and does nothing while a bank is robbed and then says "I really wanted to arrest the robbers, but the judge would have just let them off".

Prove me wrong - DO YOUR DAMNED DUTY OR RESIGN.

[4smartpeas]

Well said...I couldn't agree more.

[JackNasty]

The do-nothing Dems in Congress are still doing nothing but talking big.

It's time to take John Conyers, Steny Hoyer and Nancy Pelosi off the
proverbial compressional Democratic leadership table.

[steamboat]

Jack, there using a lot of our tax money to find out if Barry Bonds used steroids, aren't they (LOL)?

[texastornado]

Talk is cheap, Conyers. Do it or shut up.

[marc1antony]

I wish Hillary would loan these "all mouth" men her cojones - LOL! s**t or get off the pot - all threats, just like Obama said, we need to restructure ALL of Washington over - they are all too damned comfortable and do nothing - but they will go after Bonds and Clemens.

[queotic]

Exactly! I don't care whether some athlete is taking drugs or not. I want to know when my friends are coming home from Iraq and how my sister-in-law is going to pay off her adjustable-rate mortgage.

[WaspMan]

She's a Senator. What's stopping her from holding investigations? Perhaps her numerous ties to Big Pharma, Military, and Big Business?

[Blutus]

How about YOU Johnny boy!!!!!

What are you afraid of??

Go after the guy. Then ask him to step outside.

This is the lesson the Dems need to learn: don't expect someone else to do your dirty work!

You want Rove, then go get him. Subpeona power. Knee-capping. Whatever. But YOU do it!!

[TheKnownTruth]

Chairman,

We have your back. WE are tired of this administration running rough shod over us as Americans. WE are tired of being lied to and no one held accountable. In our meger world we get thrown in jail for the things this administration has gotten away with.

Do it and do it now.

PUT IN ON CSPAN !!!!

[CrazyDemocrat]

he doesn't have the power to do that

[tlcutter]

We have you back.LOL
