Ashcroft Is Given Ultimatum on Documents nytimes.com

In an odd semi-related sideline to that story, look who's going after the anointed one's anointed one on a similar stonewalling front.

The Republican chairman of a House panel threatened today to call Attorney General John Ashcroft to testify next week to explain why the Justice Department had failed to respond to several subpoenas for internal documents.

In a letter sent to Mr. Ashcroft, the chairman, Representative Dan Burton of Indiana, complained that the department had refused to turn over several important internal memorandums on a variety of matters related to the department's campaign finance inquiry.


Congressional Democrats are in general pretty wimpy these days.
