The Chairman of the GOP -- who also ran Bush's re-election campaign -- is in the middle of a major scandal. If we know one thing about the Bush team, we know they don't tell the truth. So make Ken testify under oath:
Ken Mehlman, former director of the White House political office and current chairman of the Republican National Committee is fighting Democratic efforts to force him to testify under oath in a civil suit about the New Hampshire scandal. Mehlman said the calls from James Tobin -- a consultant who in 2002 led the RNC's New England effort -- were for the White House to get the latest information about a close race, which would be unexceptional on election night. He said none of the calls to him or his staff involved the phone-jamming operation.So Mehlman was on the phone that day with a guy who was breaking the law. How coincidental. If Mehlman has nothing to hide, he would just testify under oath, wouldn't he?
While under no legal obligation to do so, the RNC has paid more than $2.5 million in legal fees incurred by Tobin, who in 2004 was the New England director for the Bush-Cheney campaign.
