Representative John Conyers of Michigan has subpoenaed Karl Rove to testify before the House Judiciary Committee about the Bush administration’s firing of U.S. attorneys and prosecution of a former Democratic governor.  According to the Washington Times:

“The subpoena commanded Rove to appear for a deposition on Feb. 2 on the firings of U.S. attorneys for political reasons. Conyers also demanded testimony on whether politics played a role in the prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, a Democrat.”

With all the current financial issues the country is facing, I believe that this is a total waste of time and money.  The U. S. Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President.  There is nothing wrong with firing them.  This is not only a waste of time, it is a witch hunt designed to take attention away from a very unsuccessful Congress.
