Pelosi Opposing Contempt for Rove
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/
By Pam Miles
I have firm confirmation that Nancy Pelosi is urging the Judiciary
committee NOT to go forward with contempt against Rove.
Congressman John Conyers and the Judiciary staff are battling FOR it
but this has become an infight among Dems.
Time to burn up the phone lines.
800-828-0498, 800-459-1887 or 800-614-2803 toll free to
congressional switchboard
PLEASE CALL. House Judiciary Committee:
Here are the direct phone #'s of the Democrats on the Judiciary
Committee.
They're all Democrats, and they're all congressmen:

Op-Ed:
Sludge and Detroit's political muck

"The whole thing is not good for Michigan."
-- Gov. Jennifer Granholm on Detroit's scandals and other woes
"Bribe probe ensnares Conyers," the Detroit News headlined Saturday
atop page one. "Feds: Surveillance evidence suggests councilwoman
took money tied to waste pact."
Steve Fishman, a prominent Detroit defense attorney representing
Conyers, told the paper: "Every time I hear the word 'allegedly,' it
reminds me of Gladys Knight and her song, 'I Heard It Through the
Grapevine': 'Believe half of what you see and none of what you
hear.' " The Capitol Hill ties add to the national focus on
Detroit's City Hall.
"I'm firmly convinced that there are elements in the U.S. Attorney's
Office who would love to make a case against anyone whose last name
is Conyers, if for no other reason than to embarrass the chairman of
the U.S. House Judiciary Committee," Riddle said.
He added: "Councilwoman Conyers can do that on her own without the
assistance of the FBI. She's demonstrated that time and time again."
Conyers is married to U.S. Rep. John Conyers, a Detroit Democrat.
She recently made national news after calling City Council President
Ken Cockrel Jr. "Shrek" during a televised council session.
CONYERS TARGETED
Ex-aide: FBI tapped phone, checked bank records
BY M.L. ELRICK AND JIM SCHAEFER • FREE PRESS STAFF WRITERS • JULY 1,
2008
An adviser to Detroit City Councilwoman Monica Conyers said FBI
agents asked him in early June to cooperate with their investigation
into possible City Hall corruption.
The Free Press first reported Friday on freep.com that the federal
probe focuses on a deal the City Council approved in November by a
5-4 margin to hire Houston-based Synagro Technologies to process
Detroit's wastewater treatment sludge.
