WASHINGTON (AP) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has asked for a grand jury investigation into whether White House chief of staff Josh Bolten and former counsel Harriet Miers should be prosecuted for contempt of Congress.
Pelosi is demanding that misdemeanor charges be pursued against Miers for refusing to testify to Congress about the 2006 firings of federal prosecutors, and against Bolten for failing to turn over White House documents related to the purge.

Go piss up a rope, lady!
Nancy should be checked for aids.
AMEN!
The only point of these investigations is political theater.
The only way the issue of if the administration is required to turn over the documents or to testify is for congress to sue the administration and have the courts decide.
Even if her politically motivated investigation comes to the predetermined answer that they could be charged, it is the justice department that would file charges if they choose to do so, not congress.
So this would be a huge waste of time and money just to determine if the committee feels that members of the administration could be charged with misdemeanors if the administration chose to charge them. If the administration wants to charge them, it could do so without the investigation, and the investigation has no authority to force the administration to do so on its own. The investigation is completely pointless except for whatever political sound bytes it might produce.
Either sue the administration in court, or move on to other business.
good time to start reading the history of the soviet union.
I want Pelosi investigated for deliberate anti-American actions. I want her to answer questions about her her trips abroad, about her deliberate and vocal opposition to any measure to insure American security, about any self interest she or her husband might have in the votes she has cast, and about the sad, sick, sorry botox she seems to be using! Seriously, folks, does this woman have any clue at all????
How about it if instead the US Attorney General investigates the illegal employment of foreign nationals at the vineyard controlled by Nancy Stretchface and her family?
She had to dig the dead horse up in order to beat it!
“Nancy Stretchface”
A great nickname for nancy would be Stretch! Right up there with The Swimmer!
Rot Ro Relroy, if you can be investigated for "that" I am in deep doo doo!
11% approval rating. Is that even possible?
perhaps she could convince Congress to pass a bill of attainder.
When will these idiots realize we elected them to legislate, not investigate!
Wait, we don’t want the DemonRATS to legislate.....
Investigate away, then!
It’s better here when she is in Syria.
translation:
you vill investigate zees peeple because vee hov zee powuh!
(macaroon democrats; not to mention republicrats who kiss their a**es.)
Grandstanding at its finest.
Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said "this sort of pandering to the left-wing fever swamps of loony liberal activists does nothing to make America safer."
