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.
She has very liberal leanings.
Does anyone know if those papers are available online?
Better yet I have a simple question.
Why is the Clinton’LIEbrary filled with Kagan man woman papers?
We’ll let you hide hers if we can see yours, Barry.
Not so very mysterious. Kagan was deputy director of Clinton’s Domestic Policy Council; she served from 1997-99.
Damn, I’d forgotten about her-the sacred scrolls spoke of a trio so evil, so vile, they can turn a man to stone just by looking at him!
Read my profile page to see how Joe Biden smeared Clarence Thomas unjustly on the VERY FIRST DAY of his hearings.
OMG!
Each picture gets worse and worse!
Kathy Bates is a beauty queen compared to Butch Kagan.
Republicans shouldn’t just fight. They should confront Obama directly, raise hell.
BULL!!
If anyone can find papers that originated with her please tell us what box it was found in.
Open and transparent administration, huh?
Das wut I’m talkin’ ‘bout!
LLS
Then again, is there Congressional power to demand Executive memos?
UPDATE June 4, 2010 (1:22:29 PM ET): Clinton Library releases many, but not all Kagan Documents
Barack Obama pays his Sestak debt to Bill Clinton.
She and Don Vito would make a great couple.
Forget that...Linseed Grahamnesty loves him some Kagan.
Anyone remember the latest instance when a nominee had hiiden records? Obama nominated a Taiwanese-American named Liu for the Ninth Circus. The guy “accidentally” forgot over 100 important docs. http://michellemalkin.com/2010/04/16/goodwin-liu-faulty-memory-expedient-metamorphosis/ http://michellemalkin.com/2010/04/06/goodwin-lius-sins-of-omissions/ There is precedent in the Obama WH for hiding, lying and forgetting important facts and documents.
