Rep. Johnson DENOUNCES ROVE "NO SHOW" AS AFFRONT TO CONGRESS
Votes To Deny Executive Privilege Claim
WASHINGTON - Rep. Hank Johnson, a member of the House Judiciary Committee,
joined Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) and Commercial and Administrative Law Subcommittee Chairwoman Linda Sanchez (D-CA) in denouncing Karl Rove's refusal to appear in violation of a congressional subpoena.
"Mr. Rove's refusal to cooperate is an affront to Congress, this nation, and the citizens he pledged to serve," said Rep. Johnson. "He is obliged to appear and testify, under Oath, just as any other citizen or public servant would be compelled to do; that is the process that he must respect as well."
Attorney Robert Luskin advised the committee by letter that his client would not appear citing Executive Privilege. Luskin did offer to make Rove available however, under specific constraints.
"I voted today to deny Mr. Rove's claim of executive privilege and his failure to appear may very well lead to contempt proceedings. He is not above the law," said Rep. Johnson.
