Waste more time and Money Dems...that must be why the approval rating is in the teens, LOWEST IN HISTORY!! U Go Pelosi.......... House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Calls for Contempt Case to Move Forward Against White House Aides Thursday, February 28, 2008 WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called on the Justice Department to get a move on over the question of whether White House chief of staff Josh Bolten and former counsel Harriet Miers should be prosecuted for contempt of Congress, FOX News has learned. Pelosi on Thursday demanded that prosecutors "act promptly" and put the case before a grand jury. She wants to the misdemeanor contempt charges to be pursued against Miers for refusing to testify to Congress about the 2006 firings of federal prosecutors, and against Bolten for failing to turn over White House documents related to the purge. Her demands were spelled out in letters sent Thursday to Attorney General Michael Mukasey and U.S. Attorney Jeff Taylor, in the District of Columbia, whose office would oversee the grand jury. The House voted two weeks ago 223-32 to hold Bolten and Miers in contempt for not cooperating with committee investigations. Most Republicans refused to vote on the issue and staged a walkout of the House chamber. The House Judiciary Committee has tried repeatedly to summon Miers and Bolten to testify about the firings of U.S. attorneys. Miers and Bolten eventually ignored the committee's subpoeanas. FOX News' Chad Pergram contributed to this report.
