The current Attorney General is running into some of the same problems the former Attorney General had.  And, those problems persist throughout the Bush administration.  Congress wants information. Nothing happens.  Rep. Waxman is raising the specter of contempt against Mukasey: [1]

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) on Tuesday threatened Attorney General Michael Mukasey with a contempt citation unless he provides the panel with documents related to the leak of the name of a CIA operative.

Waxman’s committee issued a subpoena last month requesting the reports of FBI interviews with President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

“You have neither complied with this subpoena by its returnable date nor asserted any privilege to justify withholding documents from the committee,” Waxman wrote in a letter to Mukasey. “In light of your actions, I am writing to inform you that the committee will meet on July 16, 2008, to consider a resolution citing you for contempt of Congress. I strongly urge you to comply with the duly issued subpoena before then.”
