Comey goes before the committee day after tomorrow

heh... it's a good move scheduling this before gonzo goes before the committee next week...

Earlier today, a House Judiciary subcommittee approved a subpoena for former Deputy Attorney General James Comey to testify on the firings of U.S. Attorneys.”Comey has agreed to comply with the subpoena and will appear before the committee on May 3, 2007.”

cool… potentially more grounds for inherent contempt if he refuses (altho’ i don’t think that would be applicable in the case of FORMER doj employees)… as a civilian, i think he's pretty much compelled to appear...
