Henry Writes a Dear Susan Letter (11:56 am)

Paul Kiel at TPM Muckraker reports:

Much to the chagrin of the White House, House Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) wants to hear from Susan Ralston.
Waxman has invited Ralston - Jack Abramoff’s former personal assistant, who became Karl Rove’s assistant in 2001 - to appear before the committee on Thursday, April 5, to answer questions about Abramoff’s access to the White House.
The hearing will also be a good opportunity for Waxman to press for more details about White House employees’ use of outside email accounts provided by the Republican National Committee. Ralston used such outside accounts when corresponding with Abramoff, even writing to him once, “I now have an RNC blackberry which you can use to e-mail me at any time. No security issues like my WH email.”

I don’t think she’s going to have a whole lot of protection against testimony. I’ll be very interested to see what she has to say about those off site emails and sex DVDs. I think the relations of the Abramhoff matter to those emails makes a clear case to subpoena that information. Wow, but it will be a busy weekend for Republicans in DC. Get time to get a table at that expensive restaurant. They’ll be home polishing that 5th amendment.
