Mukasey on the Hill

Start your day with TPM.
Sign up for the Morning Memo newsletter

We’ll be covering the Attorney General’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee this morning over at TPMmuckraker. He is there for a general oversight hearing, so not necessarily expecting there to be fireworks on the stories near and dear to our hearts, like the politicization of his department, torture, and the like, although those are expected to come up.

Ironically, any knocking around of Mukasey by committee Democrats will be interrupted later this morning so that they can go do his bidding on the FISA bill, which faces a final vote and is expected to easily pass. We’ll be covering that, too.
