Committee members have said that if they can't pursue the criminal charges, then their fact-gathering work is largely done. The panel will meet again next week so that Blagojevich's lawyer can respond to earlier witnesses. "I don't think the evidence in this case should call for impeachment," attorney Ed Genson said after Monday's hearing. "There are no facts here. All we have are inferences." After his response, the committee will turn to considering whether there's enough evidence of misconduct to justify an impeachment vote by the full House. If the House approved impeachment, the Senate would then conduct a trial to decide whether Blagojevich should be removed from office. ___ On the Net: U.S. attorney's letter: http://tiny.cc/y4PR0
