TPM Muckraker has the story:

Committee chairman John Conyers (D-MI) has been requesting a range of documents from DOJ for a long time. Some of the issues date back as far as Election Day 2002, when Republicans in New Hampshire jammed the phone lines for a Democratic get-out-the-vote call bank, an effort one GOP operative said was modeled on the U.S. Marines tactic of jamming the enemies communications.
Now Conyers has the authority to subpoena that stack of records after the subcommittee on commercial and administrative law took a vote today and gave him the formal go-ahead.

They're looking for records of interviews from the DOJ investigation into who leaked the identify of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson, documents that may shed light on allegations of selective prosecution, and the details behind the replacement of Minnesota's U.S. Attorney Rachel Paulose.

How many of these records have been destroyed? Will we ever be able to find out the complete truth? These criminals spend a good deal of their time covering up their tracks...losing e-mails, re-writing memos, etc.

If the White House political branch had not controlled every move made by this president, perhaps the country would be in better shape?

But let's be honest here. If the White House had spent half the time trying to solve problems instead of trying to re-shape the world according to their own reality/ambitions, they probably still would have failed.

They're just a bunch of incompetent, corrupt, and greedy fools who cannot be trusted to serve this country any longer.

The ones in Congress are almost worse than the White House operatives because they enthusiastically implemented each of the dishonest, flakey moves made by this Bush administration. Where was their good judgment?

The Republican incumbents were co-conspirators and should be judged by voters as such in November. Time will tell just how angry the voters are with the GOP.
