sorry if dupe

A resolution put forth by House Democrats to force a vote on whether Congress will demand information relating to the credentialing of discredited White House correspondent Jeff Gannon will come to a vote Wednesday, RAW STORY has learned.

The resolution, which will put both Republicans and Democrats on the record whether to force agencies to turn over information relating to Gannon’s credentialing, is to be considered at 10 a.m. Wednesday.

The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, F. James Sensebrenner (R-WI) gave notice at 10 a.m. Tuesday, a House aide close to the matter said.

The aide, who asked not to be identified by name, said the vote was intended to put members on the record as to whether they supported an investigation into Gannon, a conservative ‘reporter’ and male escort who had access to President Bush.

It’s intended “to force a vote, and a discussion on whether we’re going to let the White House continue to use shills to press their propaganda and allow them to use the Secret Service and the Department of Justice to do that,” the aide said.

8. Yes, let's investigate...

We need to know who gave Gannon credentials. This administration would then be forced to actually play by the rules for once.
