AP: Senate Judiciary committee votes to subpoena five DOJ officials, if Gonzales does not make them available. Holds off on WH subpoenas. Paul Kiel: "Why did the committee hold off on subpoenas to the White House? Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) says 'It is regrettable that members of the minority blocked subpoenas for some of the White House players. They should be joining in our efforts to get to the bottom of this.'”

Also, a colleague notes, that deputy attorney general Paul McNulty used to be a staffer on the House Judiciary committee, and at least until recently, had a lot of bipartisan good will expressed towards him from the Hill, notably by Schumer. (Corrected).
