Former Bush advisers Karl Rove and Harriet Miers have agreed, in a deal with a House panel, to testify on the firings of nine U.S. attorneys that led to accusations that the Bush Justice Department was politicized.
Rove, who served as a political adviser to former president Bush, and Miers, former White House Counsel, will testify in transcribed depositions under the penalty of perjury before the House Judiciary Committee.

Guess they don't know our country is in the dumper and have nothin' better to do!
how many US Attorneys did Clinton fire again?
This will be interesting because if the Dems make a large issue of this Odumbo won’t be able to fire all the US attorneys as he would likely do under normal circumstances...like Clinton.
If Clinton fired 50 to 80 something attorneys than what is the big deal if Bush fired nine of them. New administrations do this all the time, right? The Obama fire anybody yet?
Exactly. There our Congress critters are spending our tax dollars on this POS.
With Clinton, when he needed a distraction he'd bomb an aspirin factory. With Obama, he will release "shocking" CIA documents (that story faded once people got beyond the headlines) and announce investigations into Bush era policies.
We will be reading about this kind of thing for at least the next four years--including during the next election.
Bottom line is what goes around comes around and if we can find enough Conservatives with balls they can hand it back to the foreign Commander in Chief. And congress for the illegal things they have done. Now that would be cool.
Use the Nominations Search Tool at the US Library of Congress to get an approximate answer (it doesn't distinguish volutary from involuntary separation) ...
He must not have a sense of right and wrong or he'd realized that getting stuck with a bunch of Republican US attornies may spell out his personal doom.
too bad the Senators and Congressmen are not under the penaalty of perjury when they speak, they will all be in jail. Rove is dumb to testify. The whole idea is to catch Rove in some contradiction or misstatement and put him in jail for perjury. They don’t care about the truth, they just want Rove’s butt in jail. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Never testify under oath to those lying weasels. Rove thinks he is too smart, but it is easy to say something in error.
i don't remember, i don't recall, not to my knowledge, was not my understanding and it depends on that the meaning of the word IS...IS!!! the RATS can GoFThemselves...
Perjury trap, just like how they got Libby.
charges against Clinton need to be filed immediately
I guess Libby never heard of the 5th Amendment.
Democrats are totally unprincipled and totally hypocritical.
I predict just the opposite - they will continue to trash Bush admin for a few firings and then fire a whole slew of them and no one will even report it except a few fringe sites
Clinton fired them all at once in the beginningof his term I believe. Thats supposed to be ok. But if you fire later its considered for political reasons. Dems love to pick Knat chit out of the pepper.
I recall about 73 DA’s fired by Clinton.
Sitting right next to them, of course, will be the former governor of Arkansas (the sexual predator), to testify as to why he fired 99 attorneys when he took office.
Clinton = 99
Bush = 9
What am I missing?
