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.

Pay back is a bitch Scotty. Live long and lonely. No one will stand with you now.

Oh, I don't know - I hear Jim Jeffords needs a lunch buddy.

This is hilarious, and let’s not forget that it was Bob ‘Crying In The Parking Lot’ Wexler who was wailing and carrying on in front of the cameras on election night 2000, with his absurd claim that senior citizens were coming up to him in the parking lot of one polling place or another “literally crying” about the possibility that they might have cast their vote for the “wrong candidate”, due to that doggone infamous ‘butterfly ballot’.

Wexler has all the credibility of Joe “The Liar” Isuzu.

Actually, Joe has more.

May Scott McClellan be as effective as an opponent as he was as a spokesman.

Someone said that Bill O’Reilly mentioned something about George Soro’s ties on his show tonight. That’s a start.

My guess is that the internet will be a buzz with it the rest of the night and tomorrow. Lot’s of folks watch Freeper threads when this stuff happens because often Freeper’s do the best research and make the connections....LOL

We’ll see. It probably won’t make one whitt of difference in the MSM though. Our country is in serious trouble. I just hope the country wakes up before it is too late.

“Then the public will see that his book is solely based on innuendo, hearsay, and inference, with no factual basis.”

But remember what Rush always says.... ‘It doesn’t matter if it is true or not...THE seriousness of the charge is all that matters to the dems.

Seems Soro’s is trying to take over the world....LOL

Soros is trying to take over the world, he's a little Napoleon! He wants to take this country down the long hard bumpy road to communism. Obama is his sock puppet, while he has his hand up Obama's butt. Trouble is, is that Soros has many sock puppets. Soros is trying to take this country without firing a shot!

I guess money can't buy everything but it can and does rent the hell out of it!

SHAME ON YOU SCOTT de SNOT!

Scott McClellan has no knowledge of either the pre-war Whitehouse or the Valerie Plame affair. He came to the Whitehouse after the first war offensive was over and even after Joe Wilson had published his article in the NYT.

Is it not a matter of record that Richard Armitage told old Fitz that HE leaked the info about Plame? Further more did Armitage not disclose this to Fitz BEFORE Fitz questioned Libby?

Which is why his book has nothing substantial, only more leftwing talking points for the MSM to repeat AGAIN as if its all new.

You realize that Witchinder General just wants to have some witches to PUT up on trial. The actual trial won’t win them an election.

Tom DeLay’s harassing lawsuit still has not gone to trial but I think his prosecutor Ronnie Earle (D-Texas) has stepped down. Tom DeLay was run out of office by a lame duck Democrat (Chris Bell - D) who failed in his later bid for the governor’s office in Texas.
