Schumer: Ousted Prosecutors Want to Talk
By Paul Kiel - February 28, 2007, 4:21 PM

Seconding Sen. Dianne Feinstein's (D-CA) call to subpoena the ousted U.S. attorneys, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said on the Senate floor that they would be willing to tell their side of the story to the Senate if subpoenaed.

From his remarks:

...frankly Mr. President, comes as no surprise to me. And that is because David Iglesias, the US attorney, told my staff the same thing the day before, and asked in fact, that he be brought here to Washington... and was willing, rather, to be brought here under the power fo subpoena to tell his story. We have inquired of the fired US attorneys and the overwhelming majority do want to tell more, but feel honorbound not to do it except if they were brought here under the power of subpoena to Washington.Text

Schumer added that he'd already spoken to Senate Judiciary Chairman Pat Leahy (D-VT) and that they were "examining how that can be accomplished."

2. House Committee Schedules Vote on Issuing Subpoenas to Prosecutors

Well, as the Senate Judiciary Committee moves towards issuing subpoenas for the ousted prosecutors, the House seems to be moving faster.

The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law will vote tomorrow on whether to issue subpoenas to four of the fired U.S. attorneys: California's Southern District's Carol Lam, Nevada's David Iglesias, Arkansas' Eastern District's H.E. "Bud" Cummins, and Washington's Western District's John McKay.

If the committee did issue subpoenas, the attorneys would testify next Thursday, according to the press release from Chairwoman Linda Sánchez (D-CA).
