Conyers Subpoenas Mukasey for Documents

For Immediate Release June 27, 2008

(Washington, DC)- House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) today issued a subpoena to the Department of Justice (DOJ) to provide to the committee a number of previously requested documents by July 9. The Subcommittee on Commercial and Adminstrative Law voted this week to authorize committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. to issue the subpoena at his discretion. The documents the committee is seeking cover a broad range of issues including the Valerie Plame leak, allegations of selective prosecution, and other matters.

WOW! Conyers subpoenaed Mukaskey to deliver by July 9, at 2pm complete and unredacted documents on:
The Valerie Plame outing - He's going after Bush, Cheney, Rove, Barlett and Card
The lead up to the war - Opinions issued by the Office of Legal Counsel, since 1.20.01 on everything relating to national security, war, terrorism, interrogations, civil or constitutional rights of U.S. citizens, or presidential, congressional, or judicial power
The New Hampshire Phone Jamming
The replacement of Minnesota U.S. Attorney Tom Heffelfinger with Paulose
A whole bunch of voting violations - 2001-2002 Mississippi redistricting, 2003 Texas redistricting, 2005 Georgia photo identification submission and either for comparison or for further violations he's looking at 1981 Georgia identification requirement for voter registration, 1994 Louisiana photo id requirement for voting, 1997 Georgia identification, 1997 Texas voter registration cards and 2005 Georgia photo identification.
The criminal charges brought against Governor Don Siegelman and Dr. Cyril Wecht

The Subpoena

The really sad part is, nothing will come of any of this!
