You Still Can't Hide the Scumbag(s)
I'm just sous-cheffing at the roux in this case. Bob Geiger is the head chef/cheerleader for this week's scheduled work related to government reform in DC. Doubtless there is off-schedule stuff that could be equally entertaining. But frankly, I can't imagine how I could make it better (other than constant stirring). Enjoy:
It's another huge week in the Senate Judiciary Committee, which we knew would constantly be the case as soon as Democrats took over and oversight of a crooked White House actually started happening.
On Tuesday, Judiciary will call FBI Director Robert Mueller in to testify on what kinds of Constitutional corners his crew has been cutting over the last few years in a hearing called “Oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”
Another big day in Judiciary is Thursday when a hearing is held on "Preserving Prosecutorial Independence: Is the Department of Justice Politicizing the Hiring and Firing of U.S. Attorneys?" Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) will be grilling D. Kyle Sampson, the former Chief of Staff to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
And I like the follow-up notice for the Thursday meeting that indicates time will be allocated to "discuss the possibility of the issuance of certain subpoenas in connection with investigation into replacement of United States Attorneys."
Foreign Relations Committee: You can bring up eight nominations for a vote in one day but you still can't hide the scumbag. In addition to seven other people, Sam Fox, of Missouri, comes back to the committee to get a vote on whether he should get to be the new U.S. Ambassador to Belgium.
It's been a month since Fox, who gave a whopping $50,000 to the Swift Boat Liars to help them tank John Kerry's (D-MA) 2004 presidential campaign with smears and lies, was slapped around by Kerry and Barack Obama (D-IL) in his first visit to this committee.
Let's see how many Senators agree with George W. Bush that it's a good idea to have someone who has proven himself to have no character as our chief diplomat to an important European ally.
Here's the full Senate Committee schedule for the week:
