The stand-off will soon begin between the White House and Congress. The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Patrick Leahy said he wants answers in the political firing of US attorneys, and he does not care what the White House thinks about the soon to be issues subpoenas to haul Karl Rove, the failed Justice Harriet Miers, and the more.
Now I do not think it takes a political genius to see that the White House is going to try to tell Congress to shove it all up their asses, and use some corny “Executive Privilege” crap. The real battle is not the response from the White House, but what Congresses response is to the White House’s Screw you… Sadly, given the boneless nature of the Democrats, I bet they do nothing, If you ask me, Impeach Bush’s sorry ass.
Now ThinkProgress already has posted that the White House plans to fight. Go for it George, American needs yet another reason to kick your ass out. I bet the Republicans are kicking themselfs for all the precedence setting crap they did to Clinton.
They write…
During a press briefing yesterday, presidential counselor Dan Bartlett signaled that the White House will fight congressional efforts to have Karl Rove testify about his role in the U.S. Attorney purge.
I find it highly unlikely that a member of the White House staff would testify publicly to these matters, but that doesn’t mean we won’t find other ways to try to share that information.
Press Secretary Tony Snow was also resistant:

So I think what we have been trying to do is to work in a way to be as forthcoming with members of Congress — you saw all the emails coming out today — give them all the information so that they can make a fair judgment about it.
