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.
In a perfect world the Senate would say fine, we’ll use Senate privilege to reject her.
I swear — she’s really a guy named Vinnie in drag.
Sandy Berger is rifling through them as we speak.
But Jon Kyl has already said the Republicans were going to roll over and accept the sodomifacation by the Democrats.
White House: Obama may use executive privilege to withhold Kagan documents
“President Obama does not intend to assert executive privilege over any of the documents requested by the Committee,” Bauer writes.
OMG I am so confused.

If they hold back and the RINOs don’t filibuster, we might as well surrender and become Rats.
And to think that Gibbs just spewed out today that they are a transparent administration.......
Her neck should be a disqualification!!
Unfortunately our electorate failed us when they elected a socialist mulatto America-hating fraud as President.
He’s keeping his OWN past hidden from us, why not hide hers too!?
You’ll notice my whole post depends on “reasonable” people. I am convinced that our elected officials are either idiots, apathetic, corrupt or, like me, convinced it doesn’t matter what they do so they act accordingly.
I feel like I have been shoved into a time machine and dumped into Warsaw of the summer of 1939. What should matter to me?

Talk about putting lipstick on a pig! Yikes!
Well Executive Privilege wasn’t invoked after all.
All those docs from the Clinton Library were released this afternoon. TPM has all the info:

I am not quite sure but I think Obama is hiding other papers for her.
