I think Conyers is jerking us around, again....
I just called the Judiciary Committee office and asked when Karl Rove and Harriet Miers are scheduled to be deposed. The answer, "they haven't been scheduled yet. We're trying to find a time that works for both Rove and our staffs."

The Judiciary Committee, with the subpoenas called him to testify 2 months ago. It's been 6 weeks since the agreement was reached...yet, the depositions HAVE YET TO BE SCHEDULED.

Maybe I'm paranoid. Maybe someone is out to get us. Something doesn't smell right to me.

5. The last news articles on this said that the depositions would be in
late April. Well, it's mid-April, and they aren't scheduled. Wonder how many times they'll put it off for another month, then another, then another, then after the July 4th recess, then after the Labor Day recess, etc. etc. etc.

18. He's a joke
Unfortunately, he keeps pulling this kinda shit. This is why I stopped believing anything that came out of his lying mouth a long, long time ago, unfortuantely.

4. Rove has a very busy speaking tour schedule
but he'll get to his subpoenaed testimony as soon as he's available.

8. Perhaps Conyers should call into Fox News while Rove is on the air.

6. I`m not surprised by this stalling.
That`s exactly what I`m going to do next time one of them asks for a contribution...or two hours of envelope stuffing.

7. Old windbag
Conyers has proven to be a craven old windbag. Blovate, bluster, blather, blah, blah, blah. Ineffectual posturing.

10. Come On Now - You Gotta Give Rove A Break - He's A Very Busy Man.....
he has to have time to attack the Obama administration and get his digs in on Biden. (sarcasm)

15. Conyers at this point is in league with the NWO
i see not a two party system I see a one party system

Conyers Rove and Bush are on the same team

pretty obvious by now

16. the situation is, i fear to say, truly indicative of the game they
play against us and we are forever hopeful and can't believe that they would do such things. We are naive and continually hoaxed by politicians because we refuse to accept that anyone would be so dishonorable. May the meek inherit the earth--some day soon.
