Howdy folks!
Part II is here
Part III is here
Part IV is here
Part V is here
What fun we have in the sandbox today - one Sara Taylor, Formerly Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Political Affairs to the White House, will be grilled by appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee for a rousing bout of "I can't recall."
Her appearance is sure to be a fascinating one, given that Fielding himself requested she ignore the subpoenas.
"I respectfully request that you inform Ms. Taylor that the president has directed her not to provide this testimony," Fielding wrote in a letter Monday to Neil Eggleston, her lawyer. Eggleston did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Why would he do that? Well, Ms. Taylor is also a former deputy for Karl Rove and rumor has it she was intimately involved with the scheme to appoint US Attorneys without Senate confirmation. And look - she also used to work for good ol' Huckleberry himself!
Is she another Regent grad?
In any event, grab your popcorn and enjoy the sandbox! But what would a good Liveblog session be without the rules:
Please rec this diary, but not subsequent ones. The working theory is that this one keeps the whole liveblog experience on the rec list without inadvertently commandeering the whole thing with it. It will be updated throughout the hearing.
No pictures! Yes, this means you and no, you can't even post a teency-weency little one, no matter how pithy, apropos or cute.
Join us in the fun at C-SPAN3.
