Dems accuse Bush of jury tampering
More fun 'n' frolic on the Hill...
Democratic leaders strongly criticized Preznit CharacterCounts yesterday for saying corrupt scumbag and former House majority leader Tom DeLay is innocent of the felony charges, suggesting his comments "virtually amounted to jury tampering before DeLay stands trial."
"The president of the United States said a jury does not need to assemble, that Tom DeLay is innocent," said Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid. "To have someone of his stature, the president of the United States, prejudge a case is something I've never seen before."
That response pushed the White House on the defensive yesterday. Misadministration officials have repeatedly deflected questions about other legal probes -- especially Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's inquiry into the leaking of CIA operative Valerie Plame's name -- by saying they could not comment on ongoing investigations. White House spokesman Scott McClellan called the apparent inconsistency a "presidential prerogative."
Sen. Chuck Schumer fired back that Bush's comments on the DeLay investigation should free him to reveal who leaked Plame's name.
