Probe Of Federal Prosecutors Intensify
By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - The White House is being pulled further into the intensifying probe over federal prosecutor firings amid new questions about top political adviser Karl Rove's role and as GOP support for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales erodes.



President Bush's top legal aides were to tell congressional Democrats on Friday whether and under what conditions they would allow high-level White House officials, including Rove, to testify under oath in the inquiry.

Subpoenas could come as early as next week.

E-mails released this week, including a set issued Thursday night by the Justice Department, appear to contradict the administration's assertion that Bush's staff had only limited involvement in the firings of eight U.S. attorneys, which Democrats have suggested were a politically motivated purge.

Each new piece in the rapidly unfolding saga of how the prosecutors came to be dismissed has made it more difficult for the White House to insulate itself from the controversy.

The latest e-mails between White House and Justice Department officials show that Rove inquired in early January 2005 about firing U.S. attorneys.

The only way to get the Bush gang is to get the underlings, to spill the beans. Works with the mob and is the only way here.....

Gonzales has to be confronted with serious time. Same with Libby. Bush can't pardon everyone.

Bush should also be hung up to dry for such sorrid examples such as the Officier on 60 min. tonight describing how he had to kill so many women and children in Haditha. God awful and time has come when the men with the golden spoons up the asses have to sit in the swill they've spawned.

Anybody old enough to remember Nixon and the 70's? I get the feeling Bush is Tricky D ick and Gonzales is John Mitchell. I'm hoping Scooter Libby will be John Dean...

...and that SOME democrat will have the guts to be Sam Ervin to put an end to our long national nightmare

Right down to the "missing 18 minutes." There is a gap in the record from mid-November to early December. Gee, what a surprise.

Silly Canadians, he will resign some time in January 2009, I predict on the 19th, and no sooner. He serves at the President's pleasure- not the press's pleasure, not the congress's pleasure and not some bone headed Canadian's pleasure.
