Did Harris Break Rule, Hide Subpoena from House Leaders?
By Justin Rood - August 2, 2006, 11:52 AM


It's unfortunate that after receiving a federal grand jury subpoena, Rep. Katherine Harris (R-FL) declined to mention it to her Senate campaign staff.

But it appears she also declined to share it with the Speaker of the House -- and that's a violation of House rules.

As we've seen most recently in the case of Rep. Bob Ney's (R-OH) heavily-subpoenaed office (wham, bam, thank you and ma'am), any representative or staffer receiving a subpoena concerning any work-related issue must disclose it, and an announcement is subsequently published in the Congressional Record. It's called "House Rule VIII," and it's cited in just about every disclosure.

Yet a search of the Record turns up no mention of a subpoena for Harris.

1. So will the Ethics Commitee investigate?

HAAAAHAHAHAHAHA...

...Sorry.

[bananarepublican]

27. Absolutely! "See how we even go after Republicans!!!"

If it happens Katherine has two choices, 1. Take her lumps and shut up, or, 2. Be suicided.

[Toots]

29. absolutely

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Totallybushed]

2. Seems like

some prosecutor somewhere ought to start investigatin somebody.

[Kagemusha]

4. I doubt a prosecutor has any jurisdiction dealing with House rules.

This is already about an investigation - into Duke Cunningham etc.

[Totallybushed]

8. I stand corrected.

Although Harris has probably done something sometime.

[waiting for hope]

3. Where's Ronnie Earle when you need him....

Oh yeah, he's knee deep in DeLay's shit!

[samsingh]

5. this is sooooo delectable

[seemslikeadream]

6. I think I know where she was hiding it

[grannylib]

14. ROFLMAO...that pose of hers just cracked me up...

scrubbed of makeup, she obviously had to do the 3/4, look-at-my-tits-so-you-won't-notice-I-no-longer-have-hooker-pancake-on pose...

What a joke. If she weren't a thief and a REAL whore, it'd be funny.

[The Backlash Cometh]

7. What an unscrupulous bitch.

These Repubs will do anything to win.

[zonkra]

26. Living proof

that if you can't make your mind up, you'd better mind your makeup.

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. It got lost between those phony knockers. Jebby might have hid it there.

[Ganja Ninja]

10. Is Sean Hannity still supporting her since the GOP has officially

thrown her under the bus?

[maxrandb]

11. Katherine Harris, like Herpes

is the gift that just keeps on giving.

[warrens]

12. Her political career is over anyway

Although we can HOPE she runs again in 2008. That would take Florida out of the Repuke column.

[rsdsharp]

13. Ordinarily, I'd say the Repubs would just blow this off.

In her case, however, they may go after her to try to force her out of the Senate campaign -- and to show what high minded individuals they all are, of course.

[Lupeyg2]

15. My thoughts exactly.

I'm even looking for this to have been the result of some muckraking done by the GOP.

[newyawker99]

20. Hi Lupeyg2!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Lupeyg2]

28. Thanks

Thanks...I was lurking for a few weeks unregistered.

[grannylib]

16. Yeah, and to think they wanted 'Ordinary Joe' Scarborough to run for her

seat, but he was too cowardly to face the questions about his dead intern.
If we had a REAL liberal media in this country, Lori Klausutis would have the same name recognition as Chandra Levy, and Gary Condit would have HIS own TV show.

[TechBear_Seattle]

17. I like the picture of Harris

Her face says to me, "Rules? I don't have to obey no steenkin' rules! I'm the one who put the President into office, and he says I don't have to follow your steenkin' rules!"

[TankLV]

18. I.O.K.I.Y.A.R.

Rules, schmules.

They're only for the "little people" and Democrats.

The repukes don't need to even follow THEIR OWN RULES!

They ain't professional, experienced HYPOCRITS for nothing!

[derby378]

19. She ain't worthy of being called "ma'am"

Me being Quaker, though, I don't use that term on anyone.

[redqueen]

21. Wouldn't suprise me at all. I don't call 'em the GOPranos for nothin! n/t

[Jeanette in FL]

22. Poor Katy, she thought being a part of the BFEE, exempted her from rules

Afterall, it has worked so well in the past. Unfortunately, Katy, you are done. You did the job that you had to do in 2000. But that was then and this is now. She has no idea that she has been used. The Bush Family loyalty only goes so far and then "Enough of You".

Stay out of small planes, Katy.

[Montauk6]

23. All intellectual discussion aside, there's just 3 words to sum up this ilk

SLEAZY, SLEAZY, SLEAZY!

[nealmhughes]

24. Just some shit icing for her crow cake she'll soon be served.

:evilgrin:

O Contessa, we loved you so.

[Zambero]

25. She's a walking, talking violation

who makes her own rules as she goes, including doing whatever it took to rig a Presidential election. Not too shabby for a run-of-the-mill psychopath!
