Biden: Did Bolton testify on the CIA leak to the Grand Jury?

Link
Senator Biden again shows why he is a man to reckon with. Yesterday he sent a letter to Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, requesting information as to whether Bolton has testified before a Grand Jury in the investigation of the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame. The heat gets back on the Bolton nomination again and the timing couldn't be more perfect, as the Senate is poised for their recess and the President contemplates making a recess appointment of Bolton. The escape hatch for Bolton may be that his testimony to the Grand Jury came well AFTER his testimony before the Senate. He testified before the Senate in March and the Special Prosecutor. Fitzpatrick, might not have asked for Bolton's testimony until May or June, which would imply that Bolton did nothing wrong at the time of his testimony before the Senate as he had not yet been asked to testify. The questions for Bolton may come down to the usual ones: What did he know and When did he know it?

This should be an interesting story to watch over the next few weeks.
