McClellan Must Testify Under Oath Before House Judiciary

Former White House Aide's Revelations Make Out Case for Obstruction of Justice by Rove and Libby in Valerie Plame Case

(Washington, DC) Today Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL) called for former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan to appear before the House Judiciary Committee to testify under oath regarding the devastating revelations made in his new book on the Bush Administration’s deliberate efforts to mislead the American people into the Iraq War.

“The admissions made by Scott McClellan in his new book are earth-shattering and allege facts to establish that Karl Rove and Scooter Libby – and possibly Vice President Cheney - conspired to obstruct justice by lying about their role in the Plame Wilson matter and that the Bush Administration deliberately lied to the American people in order to take us to war in Iraq. Scott McClellan must now appear before the House Judiciary Committee under oath to tell Congress and the American people how President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Scooter Libby, and White House officials deliberately orchestrated a massive propaganda campaign to sell the war in Iraq to the American people.”

“The allegations by this former top White House aide – that Rove and Libby deliberately coordinated their stories in order to obstruct justice in the Plame case, that the President deliberately disregarded contradictory evidence related to Iraq, should outrage every American and Congress must respond by initiating immediate aggressive oversight starting with an appearance by McClellan before the House Judiciary Committee. Any continued obstruction by this Administration to prevent White House officials from appearing before Congress cannot be tolerated by this Congress in the face of these shocking revelations.”

Congressman Wexler has led a nationwide campaign in favor of holding impeachment hearings for Vice-President Dick Cheney. Congressman Wexler is Chairman of the Europe Subcommittee and a senior member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the House Judiciary Committee.

McClellan and Olberdork deserve each other — but our country does not deserve the likes of them!

This made me LOL!

For icing on the cake, maybe he'll start blubbering and bawling out loud while he's telling them that.

Joe and Valerie will be greeters at Wal-Mart when this is all over. If they’re lucky, and lie on their applications.

This is going to be fun because it's hysterical in ALL senses of the word.

I hope you're right that Joe and Val end up in prison and all the rest of the anti-American extremist hard-left cabal in our "intelligence" agencies right along with them.

Poor McClellan was forced to lie for the Bush war machine. The Democrats need to start impeachment hearings right away and blast it out on every media outlet available so they can get a taste of a biggest lopsided lost since McGovern in 1972.

At first I thought he was angling to be the next Dick Morris. But now he looks like another pea in the Wilson/Plame Bloated-Sense-of-Self-to-Get-Points-On-The-Gross-at-Warner-Brothers pod.

Typical Democrat strategy. Make up a problem that doesn’t even exist. Sell it to the American people via the Media they have bought and paid for. End result is major scandal or major catastrophe.

It’s all they can do.

I just read that Scotty’s Dad, Barr McClellan, wrote a tell-all book of his own, using information that he gleaned from his position at a law firm. Daddy’s book was about how LBJ killed JFK.

Like father, like son.

Thanks for the info. It is all becoming crystal clear now! I honestly think McClellan was turned a long time ago. That is why he was so lousey at his job as WH press secretary!!

He was a paid mole!! Now he will make millions writing a pack of lies that will help the democrats!

What a scumbag!!

Verry interesting! You have great sources and links.

I am watching the beginning of H&C now with Newt Gingrich as guest, no mention of the publisher’s connections.

I also watched the panel on Brit’s show tonight - no mention of the publisher.

Also zippo on Hugh Hewitt’s show.

I wonder how many days it will take for them to learn what you have alread shared on FR?

I actually think these guys would be much better in Congress than what we have now.

I hope McClellan DOES testify. Then the public will see that his book is solely based on innuendo, hearsay, and inference, with no factual basis. On Hannity today, Rove said that he and Libby met all the time regarding various issues, and that McClellan was not present and therefore unable to know what was said. McClellan’s claim that it was highly unusual for them to meet was totally false. He also said that he and Libby obeyed a court order not to discuss the Plame incident.
