In a letter to Sen. Jeff Sessions, the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee Republican, Robert Bauer, counsel to Obama, implied the president may use executive privilege to hide some memos Elena Kagan wrote when she served in the Clinton White House.
President Obama does not intend to assert executive privilege over any of the documents requested by the Committee, Bauer writes.
Of course, President Clinton also has an interest in these records, and his representative is reviewing them now, he adds.
The Clinton library has more than 150,000 documents related to Elena Kagan. This is one of the few sources we have to know what Kagan thinks on many issues.
You apparently have little experience in coming to the truth after hearing such White Hut-speak.
In the very next sentence, Bauer flippantly starts out, "Of course..." This is an unusual writing manner, but very significant, nonetheless, as he juxtaposes former President Clinton's interests, implying Executive Privilege could well be claimed if Clinton's counsel were to prefer it that way. Bauer also implies it would only take such a "drop of a hat" for Barry to help out BJ.

Is that a smirk..or what!!!
” [ Clinton may have some interest, ]
Which trumps the interest of 300 million citizens in the lifetime appointment of a Supreme Court justice? “
It’s always about them, not us....
The US and United States have become irrelevant to them when they think about America
It could be “or what” and I don’t want to go there.
These 10,000 documents are a smokescreen with very little beef to be found. The Kurintong LIEbrary is laughing heartily at how much Republican time they can waste with this garbage dump. I wouldn't doubt that all significant documents have been withheld by them thus far.
A sentatorial privilege hold or getting the senatorial Maine-twins and Grahamnesty back on board are more likely to yield the required result.

That fat face, double chin & dyke haircut just kills me! Grotesque! Typical liberal socialist demoRAT woman! Fat, ugly & mean as hell! Guilty & ugly as sin! God, please remove all demoRATs from our planet!!!
...and well said ;-)
Open and transparent! The truth, the whole truth, and nothin’ but the truth. Just lettin’ the sunshine in! Scramble, hide, duck, cover, whitewash, sweep.........
hey Elana Kagan does United Nations international Human Rights Laws (Supercedes America constitution laws) ?
Think Hillary.
Bingo. As I keep saying here on FR, let’s apply Occam’s Razor.
Someone hiding their past has....something to hide. Just that simple.
and then he keeps her past a secret from the country that she is supposed to serve?”
He did a good job of keeping his OWN past a secret from the voters...Where is the surprise??
She is also young enough to be on that court for a great number of years!
