What's this, another instance of Bush doing exactly what Gore would have? Hmmm, weren't there some people around last year saying Bush would never do things the same as Gore?

[Republican Wildcat]

what is this, the first or second time out of a hundred? I can see your point. They are obviously identical.

Waxman and Burton leaked every document turned over by the Clinton administration. I've got no love for the Clinton administration, but, depending on whose purposes were served, nothing given to Congress wasn't blared to the press within five minutes.

If these two bozos would treat private, confidential deliberations by prosecutors as they should be treated, there'd be no issue.

Bush would never do things the same as Gore?

I seem to remember that too.

[yawn] Let the court figure it out.

Hmmm, weren't there some people around last year saying Bush would never do things the same as Gore?

Well, they both breathe.

"[A]nother instance of Bush doing exactly what Gore would have [done]?" I'm not sure. Maybe on this one issue Bush is doing something worse. I thought Reno routinely handed over the very sorts of documents that Burton is now requesting from Ashcroft, even when they were a political liability for the administration. That's why you hear Burton angrily refer to this as a shift in administrative policy.

Heck I would not be surprise if Bush even has the paper shredders going to clean up any incriminating evidence that Clinton may have left behind. It is just pathetic.

You, more than most here.. KNOW how strongly I support Bush... and THIS my friend, troubles even me.

If bush were covering for clintong (which I doubt sincerely) it would be bad enough.

If bush is concerned about how this would impact national security, the China connection or other yet unrevealed, and extremely unsettling truths regarding the "state of the union" I am even more concerned.

There are things MORE insidious than the Mena debacle with W's dad at stake here... I am afraid to ask just what. I am afraid that if he is NOT covering for Clinton, that whatever the reason is, will be more shocking than the "X-Files" and so serious that no thickness of "tin foil" can shield us from the fallout.

Why would they claim executive privilege if there was nothing to hide about the fbi, clinton and the national state of security... answer.. we are in a more serious position, than anyone is going to admit publicly.

[ladyinred]

Certainly Bush would not be doing all the same things Gore would be doing if he were elected. I know you know that too.

Saw this yesterday, but still do not understand the reason he would do this.
