what arrogance! Apparently he thinks his DNC payoff (promotion from intelligence committee to national security committee) makes him immune from justice.

/Sarcasm Wait a minute WHAT!!!!! you mean it doesn't /Sarcasm

Levy, 24, of Modesto, Calif., disappeared shortly after the end of an internship at the Bureau of Prisons in Washington. Condit, 53 and married, publicly
acknowledged a close relationship with her but has denied any involvement in her disappearance.

Wonder how many people read this as "disappeared shortly after the end of their relationship.Yep, twelve hours or less after the end of their relationship...

...denied any involvement...  Now there's something you don't see every day.  The person who is suspected says he's innocent.

Police have said repeatedly they do not consider Condit a suspect in the case. Police interviewed Condit four times, searched his Washington apartment, took a
DNA sample and examined phone and other records.  Rather strange actions since they don't consider Condit to be a suspect.  Imagine what they'd do if they did.

Perhaps it's just my sensitivites on this issue, but this article seems to be rather applogetic for even covering this issue at all.  Several of these statements are so lame they don't even deserve to have been placed in the article.

Posters anyone?  http://www.knfo.net/signs/pages/bank17.html

Freep on folks.  Let's help Condit make his decision.  It will be made by December 7th.  This man does not belong in a position of leadership.

To be honest, I thought he had announced he would run again.

Glad to see this hasn't gone away with the terrorist attacks. I had a feeling it might.

Interesting that Condit reported this to the House "as required" by house rules. The article is a bit misleading in that it gives the impression that representatives are required to disclose to the House all subpoenas received by a member.

House Rule VIII seems far more specific, addressing itself only to subpoenas and judicial orders served on members that relate to "the official functions of the House or for the production or disclosure of any document relating to the official functions of the House..."

The rule further provides for a review to determine whether the subpoena is "a proper exercise of jurisdiction by the court, is material and relevant, and is consistent with the privileges and rights of the House, and does not violate house privilege.

Two possibilities here:
1)The subpoena does, in fact, involve matters directly relating to official functions of the House--which raises a number of interesting questions.
Or, 2)The subject matter of the subpoena is not related to official House function and Condit was angling to hide behind Rule VII to weasel out of compliance.

Abbe Lowell's quick disavowal of Condit's haven't-decided-if-we'll-comply comment tells me that 2 is the likely situation. If the subpoena had even peripherally brushed official function, Abbe would have been all over it.

Well, looks like they're finally going to sift through some of O.J. Condidit's dirt. About time. Thanks for the ping, Dave.

Condit said he was considering whether to comply.

Okay, so we get to decide for ourselves whether or not we comply with subpeonas? Is this new, or just something for elected representatives; not for us regular folks?

Condit said he was considering whether to comply --- THIS IS NOT A QUOTE, folks. This is how the media manipulates you. He could have answered "Yes" to a reporters question and the reporter could write it up like that.

He's turning over what the grand jury asked from him. Thats all there is to it.

So what documents would they be seeking?

How about his wife's plane ticket reservation? When was it ordered/purchased? Phone records? House cleaning records? Side trips to VA countyside records? The list could be endless.

Feel free to add to the list.

...."pre recorded tapes to the Sacramento Bee, a noted liberal propaganda organ."

Not so liberal that they haven't repeatedly called for his resignation!

"We still know what you did last summer Condit!

We still know you had her killed...."

C'mon now Tshirt, you dont want someone to employ the played out tin foil hat saying. Our legislator work in the best interest of the people. The FBI and BATF do not tell lies. Our government is honest and forthcoming. Get with the Freerepublic progam pal...

From this morning's House Floor One minute speeches:

10:07 A.M. - ONE MINUTE SPEECHES - The House resumed one minute speeches.

The House received a communication from the Honorable Gary A. Condit. Pursuant to Rule VIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, Mr. Condit notified the House that his office had been served with a grand jury subpoena for documents issued by the Superior Court of the District of Columbia and that after consultation with the Office of General Counsel, he would make the determination required by the Rule.
