Mukasey: I think there are avenues for conducting examinations other than OPR investigation. [my emphasis]

snark—— Sounds to me like he’s giving them a hint that impeachment trumps executive privilege and they should move to start hearings right away!

In this case, does it?

What other avenues for investigation are there–that promise a public accounting of Rove’s role in Siegelman’s prosecution?

I can think of one: Congress.

I can think of another one, without first reading all the comments: Special Counsel? One with Congressional insistence on independence?

We could sprinkle them with holy water and fragments of copies of the Constitution. He might then have to return to the oil-soaked lands of Wyoming for a fresh supply. My only concern is the rumor that he’s learned to walk about in daytime, though he’s never seen through the tinted armor of his motorcade windows. My guess is that they’re for show, that he hovers alongside them, masquerading as the smoke from their tailpipes.</p> If we could only find the boxes of earth the Barnacle has hidden for his daytime rest.

I don’t think either one of them is to be forgiven or indulged. They have Mukasey because they wanted him.
