Let's Add Bribery And Obstruction Of Justice To Roves' Charges

When Patrick Fitzgerald finally lowers the boom on leaker supreme and traitor Karl Rove perhaps he should include bribery in the charges. According to the Washington Times magazine Insight On The News, Karl has been not only twisting the arms of Republican members on the Judiciary Committee (and members of Congress), but also threatening to block any financial support in their re-election campaigns should they happen to come to the conclusion that King George has broken the law. The White House has been twisting arms to ensure that no Republican member votes against President Bush in the Senate Judiciary Committee’s investigation of the administration's unauthorized wiretapping. Congressional sources said Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove has threatened to blacklist any Republican who votes against the president. The sources said the blacklist would mean a halt in any White House political or financial support of senators running for re-election in November If this isn't an outright bribe then I sure don't know what is. The sources said the administration has been alarmed over the damage that could result from the Senate hearings, which began on Monday, Feb. 6. They said the defection of even a handful of Republican committee members could result in a determination that the president violated the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Such a determination could lead to impeachment proceedings. Over the last few weeks, Mr. Rove has been calling in virtually every Republican on the Senate committee as well as the leadership in Congress. The sources said Mr. Rove's message has been that a vote against Mr. Bush would destroy GOP prospects in congressional elections. In case you aren't aware, the Washington Times is definitely no friend to Liberals and our progressive causes or the Democratic Party. For them to come out and print this story, I would say it has to be taken very seriously. It's quite obvious that King George and his cohorts and particularly AG Gonzalez know damn well they were breaking the law otherwise why the high pressure tactics and outright bribery. The only questions that remain now are (a) what do they have to hide with regards to who they were really spying on, and (b) will the Republican members of the Judiciary Commmittee and the entire Congress have the balls to finally stand up to this bunch of fascists who think nothing of pissing on the Constitution of the United States. If the Judiciary Committee finds that indeed King George was acting outside the law then they must by law swear out articles of impeachment. Surely this is a bit more important than the last time articles of impeachment were submitted for a vote. After all Bill Clinton's little escapade with Monica sure as hell didn't impinge on the rights or personal lives of U.S. Citzens.
