House Panel: Karl Rove Is In Contempt Of Congress Ignores House Judiciary Committee Subpoena
WASHINGTON (AP) ― A House panel Wednesday voted to cite former top White House aide Karl Rove for contempt of Congress as its Senate counterpart publicly pursued possible punishments for an array of alleged past and present Bush administration misdeeds.
Voting along party lines, the House Judiciary Committee said that Rove had broke the law by failing to appear at a July 10 hearing on allegations of White House influence over the Justice Department, including whether Rove encouraged prosecutions against Democrats.
The committee decision is only a recommendation, and it was unclear whether Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., would allow a final vote. Rove has denied any involvement with Justice decisions, and the White House has said Congress has no authority to compel testimony from current and former advisers.

Karl Rove is one of the most innocuous people you could ever see. Why he is portrayed as a villain by the nest of vipers on the Hill is beyond me.

Oh, my goodness, the White House might "influence" the DOJ.
Since when did DOJ become an independent Executive establishment?
No wonder Congress is at 9% popularity ~ they are headed toward 0%!!!!

The Dem Congress is contemptable for criminalizing political decisions.
They are so busy taking down their opponent, they cannot see what’s waiting for them.
Two legs bad, four legs good....
