"Impatient with the "lagging" pace of the investigation into the U.S. attorney firings, Specter said he asked Fielding during a phone call Wednesday night whether the president would agree to transcripts on the interviews. Fielding's answer: No."

If they've done nothing wrong, they've got nothing to be afraid of, do they?

Huh? When did a Clinton administration member refuse to comply with a Congressional subpoena? I must have missed something.

Would that be the second paragraph from the bottom that states the Bush administration refused to provide administration documents from the Clinton administration?

quote:

It was the second time in his administration that Bush has exerted executive privilege, said White House deputy press secretary Tony Fratto. The first instance was in December 2001, to rebuff Congress' demands for Clinton administration documents.

Or are you referring to some other second paragraph from the bottom?

p.s. fish, barrel, bang.

So, what happened?

Doesn't seem like the end of the story.

Did the tame republicans in Congress say, "Oh, that's going to come in useful as a strategy later on, so OK, let's let this drop."

Was "Executive Priv." actually claimed, formally to cover this?

Everyone who's been paying ANY attention knows I don't give a shit about Clinton, it's just like, where's "The Rest Of The Story"?

LOL I won't argue that But the rest of the story hasn't been written yet so I guess we will just have to wait and see. Maybe Congress will go the the Supreme Court and he'll have to turn over both sets of papers. Maybe none Only time will tell. LOL but for now who cares LOL

fargle,

He misread the paragraph. It was AnencephalyBoy who refused to provide Clinton's documents, not Clinton refusing to provide his own.

Think twice, post once.

No, I'm clear that on 9/7/2001, there's an archive report that

"The House Government Reform Committee on Thursday prepared to subpoena the Bush administration for documents relating to Justice Department investigations of the Clinton administration's fund-raising scandal."

The OBVIOUS question is "Were those subpoena's ever filed?"

I would say yes they were based upon the 12/13/2001 memo which states they were signed by Bush
