 Porter Lacks Courage to Make Tough Decision
Republican Congressman Jon Porter refused to take a stand and compel
George Bush’s Chief of Staff, Joshua Bolten, and former White House
counsel, Harriet Miers, to comply with subpoenas issued by Congress
regarding the firing of seven U.S. Attorneys, including Nevada’s former
U.S. attorney Daniel Bogden. Bogden was doing his job and fighting
corruption, and then was fired without cause by the Department of
Justice (DOJ). When given the opportunity to help determine why the DOJ
was used for political purposes, Jon Porter voted “present” on the
House floor.
“The Bush Administration has consistently blocked Congress’ attempts to
get answers about the firing of seven prosecutors, including Nevada’s
former U.S. Attorney Daniel Bogden. When Jon Porter had the chance to
get to the bottom of the issue, he took a pass. Time and time again,
he fails to stand up against George Bush. Nevadans deserve a
Congressman who has the courage to make tough decisions, not the
cowardice demonstrated by Jon Porter” said Travis Brock, executive
director of the Nevada State Democratic Party.
