House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) issued a subpoena today for a host of Justice Department documents related to the U.S. attorneys firings.

From the AP:

“We have been patient in allowing the department to work through its concerns regarding the sensitive nature of some of these materials,” Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., wrote Gonzales in a letter accompanying the subpoena. “Unfortunately, the department has not indicated any meaningful willingness to find a way to meet our legitimate needs.,”

“At this point further delay in receiving these materials will not serve any constructive purpose,” Conyers said.

We’ll have a copy of Conyers’ letter and the subpoena up soon.

Update: Here they are.
