2008-02-07 Talking Points Memo Paul Kiel \US/Continuity of Government\Michael Mukasey\stonewalling http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/02/mukasey_no_i_will_not_enforce.php Mukasey: No, I Will Not Enforce Citations for Contempt of Congress &ldquo;Michael Mukasey said today that if Congress passed contempt citations against current and former White House officials based on their refusal to respond to subpoenas, the Justice Department would not enforce them, as federal law instructs.&rdquo;  Just to complete the theme of the day, Michael Mukasey said today that if Congress passed contempt citations against current and former White House officials based on their refusal to respond to subpoenas, the Justice Department would not enforce them, as federal law instructs. Not only does he refuse to investigate, but he also won't say whether he has "been instructed to enforce or not enforce congressional citations". Is this a sign that CoG plans are in effect? Regardless, impeachment would seem to be an appropriate response to this and his other refusals that same day (to investigate waterboarding and warrantless wiretapping).
