Subpoenas force talks for testimony deal
By LAURIE KELLMAN, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON -
A Senate Republican offered President Bush a compromise Thursday in
the standoff over the dismissals of federal prosecutors, suggesting
that select lawmakers question Karl Rove and other administration
officials in public, but not under oath.
White House counsel Fred Fielding promised to convey the offer to
Bush, said Sen. Arlen Specter, who took the first step toward
brokering a deal a few hours after the Senate Judiciary Committee
approved but did not issue subpoenas for Rove and others.
Specter's plan would grant one of Bush's key demands — that the
officials named in the subpoena authorization testify without being
sworn. But the proposal dismisses other White House conditions by
suggesting that Rove and the others testify in public.
"Mr. Fielding did not accept or reject it," White House spokeswoman
Dana Perino said.
Presidential press secretary Tony Snow again cast the administration's
offer to allow Rove and the others to talk to lawmakers in private as
the best deal Democrats are going to get.
"We opened with a compromise," he told reporters.
Democrats also did not budge from their insistence that Rove be
questioned publicly and under oath.
"I've had a lot of those unstructured briefings and found that I was
given, in many instances, not the whole truth, nothing near the whole
truth," said the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, Sen. Patrick
Leahy, D-Vt.
His committee, by voice vote Thursday, gave Leahy authority to issue
subpoenas for Rove, former White House Counsel Harriet Miers and her
deputy, William Kelley.
The House Judiciary Committee chairman, Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich.,
was given that same authority a day earlier.
But neither chairman appeared in a rush to issue the subpoenas to
White House officials and provoke a showdown.
In letters Thursday, Senate and House Democrats rejected Fielding's
offer to let Rove and other officials talk about their roles in the
firings, but only on Bush's terms: in private, off the record and not
under oath.
"I have never heard the Senate take an ultimatum like that," Leahy
said.
"I know he's the decider for the White House," Leahy added, referring
to Bush.
"But he's not the decider for the United States Senate."

Specter is so used to rolling over for Bush, that he thinks he's in a
position to "negotiate." He's not. He's just another Republic pol who
can't seem to understand he's not making the rules any more.
Put these people under oath, in public, on the record. Period.

No, he's not the decider for the senate, but he thinks he's
the decider for everything. If the media treated him and his admin
like as much of a joke as it is, he wouldn't have stayed in office one
year. The congress would have easily had the spine to throw him out.
