Snow offers no response on McKinney, Kennedy

Presidential press secretary Tony Snow today refused to comment on two issues that have received national attention – the investigation into Rep. Cynthia McKinney's altercation with a Capitol policeman and Robert F. Kennedy's recent claim that President Bush fraudulently won the 2004 election.

Asked WND at today's White House press briefing: "The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that the grand jury investigation of Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney for her striking of a U.S. Capitol police officer went into its third month, "with experts saying it should have been wrapped up in a matter of days." My question, as this nation's chief law enforcer, does the president disagree with the national president of the Fraternal Order of Police, Chuck Canterbury, who said, right from the start, this U.S. attorney handled this case differently because McKinney is a sitting congresswoman?"

TRENDING: Is this what you voted for, America?

Responded Snow: "As I described to you, Lester, the president is not going to assert command influence over ongoing investigations in Iraq. He certainly is not going to sit around and second-guess a grand jury in Georgia."

WND next asked about Kennedy's assertion:

"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has written an article in Rolling Stone which revisits the Ohio vote in 2004. Does the president believe Kennedy has raised any new evidence of voter fraud?"

"No, what I think he will do is let you, Lester, be his emissary from Rolling Stone," quipped Snow before moving to another reporter.
