Michael Mukasey Tells Nancy Pelosi To Shove It!

This new attorney general knows just what to do when liberals try to bully his office into pushing their anti-Bush zealotry. He tells them to shove it:

WASHINGTON - Attorney General Michael Mukasey refused Friday to refer the House's contempt citations against two of President Bush's top aides to a federal grand jury. Mukasey said White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and former presidential counsel Harriet Miers committed no crime.

As promised, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that she has given the Judiciary Committee authority to file a lawsuit against Bolten and Miers in federal court.

"The House shall do so promptly," she said in a statement.

Mukasey said Bolten and Miers were right in ignoring subpoenas to provide Congress with White House documents or testify about the firings of federal prosecutors.

"The department will not bring the congressional contempt citations before a grand jury or take any other action to prosecute Mr. Bolten or Ms. Miers," Mukasey wrote Pelosi.

Mind you, Pelosi isn't the main lib trying to force Mukasey into doing their bidding here, John Conyers is making himself heard on this crap too--the same John Conyers who still works hand-in-hand with the vapid "Impeach Bush" loons on the Left. But unlike his predecessor who ran the other way when confronted by liberal terrorism. it's good to have an AG who not only knows bullshit when he sees it, but is willing to call it to the carpet too.
