It is getting ugly for this administration.The Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy of Vermont issued subpoenas today for the White House and the V.P.'s Office for documents related to the warrantless eavesdropping program. Also named in the subpoenas were the Justice Department and the National Security Council.
"Our attempts to obtain information through testimony of administration witnesses have been met with a consistent pattern of evasion and misdirection," Leahy said in his cover letters for the subpoenas. "There is no legitimate argument for withholding the requested materials from this committee."
The subpoenas come in light of James Comey's testimony reported all over the blogosphere and much stalling by the White House on providing the Judiciary committee with information. Today Patrick Leahy is my hero.
