Patrick Leahy as Lieutenant Columbo



from TPMmuckraker...
Tired of waiting for a response, Senate Judiciary Chairman Pat Leahy (D-VT) issued a subpoena for any of Karl Rove's emails in the Justice Department's possession that might be relevant to the U.S. attorney firings. That includes emails sent from Rove's White House account (which apparently doesn't get much use) and emails from his account issued by the Republican National Committee.

now that we know that gonzo delegated away his hiring and firing authority, i'm sure leahy knows who exercised it, and it certainly wasn't sampson and goodling... when one ostensibly gives away one's power to relatively inexperienced staff political operatives to select highly experienced professionals, serious questions naturally arise... there seems no doubt that the REAL deciders were in the white house... this whole thing has smelled of karl rove from the get-go and, unless and until karl gets waterboarded into divulging what he knows, leahy's just going to have to continue with his peter falk, columbo routine...
