Rep. Conyers predicts Bush cooperation as impeachment support grows

Rawstory — Rep. John Conyers, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, appeared Sunday on This Week with George Stephanopoulos to discuss his promise to hold hearings next week on President Bush’s commutation of Scooter Libby’s jail sentence. He also responded to questions on his committee’s outstanding subpoenas in the matter of the US Attorney firings, offering the striking suggestion that growing public support for impeachment of the president might make the White House more inclined to cooperate.

“We’re seeking cooperation,” insisted Convers. This is not partisan in any way.” He also told Stephanopoulos, “I didn’t put impeachment on the table. I was just telling you that 46% of the American people polled want Bush impeached.”
