Judiciary releases witness list for Kucinich "impeachment" hearing
By John Bresnahan
The House Judiciary Committee has released its witness list for Friday's hearing on Rep. Dennis Kucinich's (D-Ohio) impeachment resolution. One big surprise — a House Republican will testify.
Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.), a huge critic of President Bush's policy in Iraq, is scheduled to appear before the Judiciary Committee, according to a witness list just released by the panel.
Former Rep. Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party's presidential candidate, is also scheduled to testify. Barr was a Republican from Georgia during four terms in the House.
