Why doesn't Pelosi put an end to this and move to appoint a SPECIAL PROSECUTOR??

Since either the Attorney General or Congress can get this ball rolling, WHAT ARE DEMS IN CONGRESS WAITING FOR??

[LiberalFighter]

1. Does she or the House have that authority?

[polichick]

3. As I understand it, either Congress or the AG - she could at least get the ball rolling.

2. They are waiting for it

to go away.

4. It ain't going away - might as well take charge.

5. I think she's waiting for Holder.

Someone has to do something soon. This can't be helping.

What I don't get is why the majority party seem so powerless? Why isn't a Dem interviewed every 5 minutes disputing the rethug b.s. that's getting so much play?

[polichick]

6. I don't know if Republicans just beg to be interviewed more or what...

But we need to take control of this situation ~ CHENEY & CO. are the criminals, but you wouldn't know it from the way the media and Democrats behave. imo the president needs to stop that "looking forward" bullshit and give other signals.

7. Oh great - now Panetta released a statement sticking up for the CIA...
