Meet the Press this morning

Sen Patrick Leahey appeared on Meet the Press this morning.
Bush says he is not involved in the US Attourney scandal. So where does Executive Privilege come in?

Will they hold the Pres, etc, in contempt of Congress? It has to be voted on by the Congress.

The most critical members of the politicization of the Justice Department are former prosecutors.

The President offered up several people for interview, but under too many conditions: they would be intervewed behind closed doors by only a select group of officials, not the whole committee'; not under oath, no transcript, and Congress would not be allowed to them again.

White House stated they lost several million emails. Leahey knows, and stated"You can't erase emails."

Now they have found them. Why haven't they turned them over yet? Well, they're looking at them.

With regard to interviewing members of the Executive branch, Leahey is even offering to give them the questions ahead of time!

Now what--now that the Executive branch has invoked Executive Privilege? The next step is to determine whether Executive privilege claim is legit. It appears it is not.

If not, Congress will vote to decide whether to hold the White House in contempt of Congress.

On Justice John Roberts: Leahey voted to confirm him. He voted to confirm Roberts because he didn't want him to be confirmed on a party line vote. Leahey is extraordinarily disappointed on how they threw out Brown v. Board of Education so cavalierly.
