Subpoena talk

(NYTimes) Waxman gets authorization for a subpoena for Condi Rice regarding the bogus Niger-Uranium claims. (The vote passed 21-10 along party lines. Where were the other 10 Republicans?)

(Huffpo) The Senate Judiciary Committee authorized a subpoena for Sarah Taylor, a former Rove aide who resigned when her name came up too many times in the US Attorney emails.

(TPM) But probably most interesting today is that six Republican House members voted not to grant Goodling immunity. (I'm sure it's a principled stand about law and order, not about allowing her to stonewall the investigation.)

(Huffpo) Waxman also issued subpoenas to the RNC to send personnel to explain the missing emails.

Meanwhile, the chairman and ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee asked Mr. Gonzales to provide additional information on the firings within a week. .....

“We believe the committee and our investigation would benefit from you searching and refreshing your recollection and your supplementing your testimony by next Friday to provide the answers to the questions you could not recall last Thursday,” the senators said in a letter.

In other words, they're not going to let him get away with "I don't recall."

And, Schumer wants answers on why documents weren't produced related to the Charlton US Attorney firing.

(Add in that Renzi was being wiretapped as early as October.)
