Purgegate is still ongoing, just at a glacial pace. One reason it's held up is that Josh bolten and Harriet Miers refuse to testify. The House could issue contempt of Congress charges but Top Dems stall Miers, Bolten contempt vote.
"Senior Democrats have decided that holding a controversial vote on the contempt citations, which have already been approved by the House Judiciary Committee as part of its investigation into the firing of nine U.S. attorneys, would “step on their message” of bipartisan unity in the midst of the stimulus package talks."
"The Judiciary Committee approved contempt citations against Bolten and Miers on July 25, but Pelosi has yet to bring the measures to the floor." Maybe if they dealt with this at the time they wouldn't have had to look embarrassed now.
