Congressman Robert Wexler — Our campaign for accountability for the Bush administration is making legitimate progress.
\nI am pleased to announce to you that the House Judiciary Committee has met my public call for Scott McClellan’s immediate testimony with action:
\nToday, Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers officially invited Mr. McClellan to testify under oath on Friday, June 20th at 10AM.
\nAfter all of our hard work pushing for impeachment hearings for Vice President Cheney “\u201c the McClellan hearing provides our cause with a legitimate opportunity to showcase the crimes and violations of this Administration for the American people, the mainstream media, reluctant members of the Democratic party, and sensible Republicans. This hearing provides us our first genuine opportunity to enter the public consciousness and change the dynamics that have prevented true accountability for Bush and Cheney.
\nMr. McClellan was a major figure in the Valerie Plame\/CIA scandal, as well as a leading propagandist for the Bush White House’s deliberate attempts to hide the true costs of this war from the American public. As such, Mr. McClellan will testify under oath (and be subject to perjury charges should he lie) and be asked about the following matters:<\/p>\n

What role did President Bush, Vice President Cheney , and key administration officials take in the effort to reveal the identity of covert CIA agent Valeria Plame Wilson “\u201c thus destroying her network and putting lives in jeopardy?
\nWhat role did President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and key administration officials take regarding the firing of U.S. Attorneys or political reasons?
\nWhat role did President Bush, Vice President Cheney, key administration officials take in conspiring to blatantly break U.S. and International laws prohibiting the use of torture?
\nI call on Mr. McClellen to immediately accept this invitation and testify under oath as he previously agreed to while being interviewed on national television.
\nDuring the hearing I will have roughly five short minutes to question Mr. McClellan and undercover the illegalities committed by this Administration “\u201c which is why it is critically important that every representative on the Judiciary Committee hears your voice. Please let them know that you demand answers to these questions.
\nNor should it stop there: Karl Rove has thumbed his nose to the Judiciary Committee’s subpoena “\u201c joining Harriet Miers, Joshua Bolten and Vice President Cheney’s Chief of Staff David Addington as the only Administration officials in history to claim Congress has no power to even bring them before a committee to be questioned.
\nI have called for Karl Rove to be held in inherent contempt and for the other renegade officials to appear as required by their subpoenas, or be forced to do so by the House Sergeant of Arms.
\nWhat the Judiciary’s request of McClellan proves is that if we stay vigilant “\u201c if we call loudly and repeatedly for accountability – that we become very difficult to ignore.
\nPlease stay tuned. I hope for more developments soon.
\nWith great respect,
\nCongressman Robert Wexler<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
