House Committee Votes to Subpoena Couple Who Crashed State Dinner.  So where is Desiree Roger’s subpoena?

But the committee rejected an effort by its top Republican, Rep. Peter King of New York, to subpoena White House social secretary Desiree Rogers.

Why?

King pressed for Rogers to testify before the committee, but the White House has said it does not make aides to the president available to testify — raising concerns that the Obama administration’s professed commitment to transparency may soon devolve into a battle over executive privilege.

LOL

“We ought to get the full picture,” King told the committee on Wednesday. “This is not about her (Rogers) as an individual,” he said, adding that her testimony is critical in probing how the Salahis made their way into the dinner and met President Obama on the receiving line.

And then there is Val’s investigation.

Senior Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett said the White House is conducting its own internal investigation — and that protocol for handling social events will change as a result, including requiring a White House staff member at the gates when invitees arrive.

Jarrett defended the decision not to make Rogers go to Capitol Hill by saying in an interview with ABC last week that “it is important to have a balance and have the White House staff able to have confidential conversations with the president and his team without appearing before Congress.”

“There have been rare instances in the past for very, very important issues where that practice has deviated, but in this case we think we have had full and open disclosure,” she said.
