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.
From National Review, McClellan’s book on page 36:
“One of my favorite classes at UT was a leadership course taught by Sara Weddington, a longtime friend of Ann Richards who was known for her involvement representing the anonymous “Jane Roe” in Roe v. Wade, the case that made abortion legal across the United States.”
Good grief! A liberal mole!
That maybe true but he will be under oath and they will push him to the “max” to take down Rove, Chenney, Bush etc. Either he has the goods or he will look like a total ass.
I am betting he will stay true to form and look like a total ass. This will be great and hopefully very expensive for Scott. Like I said. It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Great.
Exactly.
It would be funny as all get out if McClellan testified that his book is nothing but fiction and innuendo, and he wrote all the garbage into it because his publisher told him that was the best way to get big sales.
“You have missed the issue in the exercise ... he will be a darling for the Waxmanesque ‘great witch hunters’.”
You are right here. They will drag this on for months, and use it to go after Cheney. Lots of future headlines to come. Lots of diversions from their incompetent Presidential nominee.
Is there a betting pool on when he’ll be offered an immunity deal in exchange for testifying against Rove?
If I were in the GOP I would support their effort, just to show the Dems for the jackasses they are.
Now please STFU.
Whenever I simply can’t make anything, a brooch, hat, pterodayctyl out of something I always look for your assessment.
What on earth are the Rats trying to do, here?
Create a dust cover for something about to break on Barack Obama?
Wow They do tend to build dynasties in Texas tho. Does she brag about Scott or does she not mention it?

One dysfunctional family!
The President should sit right next to him during the circus.
yea impeachment sure caused Bubba lots of problems. It was so bad for him that he may end up right back in the WH.
I am curious on what might be in Scott McClennan's medical records in connection to what drugs he may have been taking. His behavior is out of the ordinary, IMO. More likely than not this book will backfire on him!
The Circus is coming to town!
First witness for the Defense would be Patrick Fitzgerald. Wexler, Marxist Doofus from Boca Raton, is a grandstanding nitwit.
McClellan ought to toss and turn for many a sleepless night.
Destatable.
Luckily for FDR, Wexler can't disinter the former President and rake him over the coals for orchestrating his massive propaganda campaign to sell WWII to the American people...
Larry, Curly and Moe would have to take a backseat!
“He promised when he first started writing this book that he’d engage in some truth-telling,” said Wolffe, who had spoken to McClellan in recent months. “And that’s what he’s done.”
From the Politico.
Sounds like Wolffe, Olbermanns and Newsweek’s butt-boy, has been talking with Scott.
Ummmmmmmmmmmmm.
