Dems to file request for immediate investigation of former US Attorney General

Congressman John Conyers (D-MI) and Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) will
be issuing a formal request for an immediate investigation with the US Inspector
General's office into John Ashcroft - former US Attorney General, Raw Story has
learned.
The request - released to Raw Story - cites conflict of interest on
the part of Ashcroft in his failure to promptly recuse himself during the
initial investigation into the outing of CIA agent Valerie Wilson. Ashcroft was
US Attorney General at the time.
The CIA filed charges with the FBI and
Justice after columnist Robert Novak made Wilson's identity public in July of
2003. It has since been learned, as part of a case currently in front of a grand
jury, that Karl Rove - Senior Advisor to President Bush, was the source for
several reporters on the Wilson story...........
