After weeks of threats, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) on Wednesday subpoenaed the Justice Department, demanding any e-mails to or from White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove involving the firings of eight U.S. attorneys.
Leahy also wants the Justice Department to turn over all Rove e-mails it has related to the outing of former CIA operative Valerie Plame. Rove was not charged in that case. But Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, was convicted of obstruction of justice and perjury.
