Could Tenent testify before the Plame grand jury

[Timefortruth]

while he is still in office?

This article contains more than a little tin foil but it does raise an interesting question about the reason for Tenet's resignation. I was wondering if there was anything to it.

COUP D'ETAT:
The Real Reason Tenet and Pavitt Resigned from the
CIA on June 3rd and 4th

This comment is about 3/4ths the way down:

Last and final clue: Under Executive Privilege, a principle intended to protect the constitutional separation of powers, officials in the Executive Branch cannot give testimony in a legal case against a sitting President. The Bush administration has invoked or threatened to invoke the privilege several times. Dick did it over the secret records of his energy task force and George Bush tried to use it to prevent Condoleezza Rice from testifying before the "Independent" Commission investigating September 11th.

Former officials of the Executive Branch are, however, free to testify if they are no longer holding a government office when subpoenaed or when the charges are brought.



The Bush administration has proved itself to be an insular group of inept, dishonest and dangerous CEO's of the corporation known as America. They have become very bad for business and the Board of Directors is now taking action. Make no mistake, the CIA works for "The Board" - Wall Street and big money. The long-term (very corrupt and unethical) agenda of the Board, in the face of multiple worsening global crises, was intended to proceed far beyond the initially destructive war in Iraq, toward an effective reconstruction and a strategic response to Peak Oil. But the neocons have stalled at the ugly stage: killing hundreds of thousands of people; destroying Iraq's industrial and cultural infrastructure as their own bombs and other people's RPGs blow everything up; getting caught running torture camps; and making the whole world intensely dislike America.

1. I Don't Know if They'd Even WANT Tenent To Testify

But I bet if they could get TENET, that would be a major coup.

2. Why wouldn't the grand jury want Tenent to testify?

He seems to be an important witness, what am I missing?

4. They Don't Know Anyone Named Tenant

Now, TENET, he's the recently-departed CIA director. They'll want him to testify, if they can get him.

But Tenent... not so much.
