The video is long, but worthwhile. Listen for cute “Schurmerism” trying to say “Arkansas.” The issue seems esoteric but it’s important for people to understand. This goes to the heart of the administration’s abuses of power and shows how this particular power grab was orchestrated by the president’s closest advisors. It’s hard to imagine how all of Bush’s closest political allies and functionaries engaged in this effort without the president also being involved.
If you’re still fuzzy after the video, the Daily Background restates the events clearly.

Yeah, Schumer has been very good on this issue… he’s almost been the attack dog of the Judiciary Committee (and I mean this in a positive sense), with Leahy as Chairman backing him up and acting a bit more restrained but still supportive of him. One thing that’s been encouraging is that Leahy is extremely focused on getting testimony under oath from the people from both the DoJ and the White House. If you look at his recent language, he’s very very intent on sworn testimony on this.
