I can hear the laughter from Chappaquidoc all the way out here.

[Fred Mertz]

In testimony before the committee, Michael Horowitz, chief of staff at the Justice Department's criminal division, defended the refusal as necessary to protect decision-making within the department.

Now I've heard it all! However, I'm sure that many good freepers will defend Bush to the bone.

Well now, I wonder what's in GW's FBI file.

[The Mayor]

This is one thing that no one can defend, what a bunch of crap!

And your point in posting a year old article is...????? Maybe you have not seen this...

FBI Raids Hillary's Warehouse in Whitewater Deja Vu - June 2002

An excerpt:

Judicial Watch Chairman Larry Klayman suggested the raid may represent something of a turnabout in thinking among Attorney General John Ashcroft and his colleagues.

"Mr. Paul could have turned the documents about the Clintons over to the FBI months ago under a cooperation agreement," Klayman noted. "Instead, he waits in a Brazilian dungeon for the Ashcroft Justice Department to get serious about this corruption case. So it is a welcome sign that the Justice Department is turning up the heat on this new crime scandal concerning the Clintons."

The FBI raid may also be a sign that the reported no prosecution deal for the Clintons, demanded by Democrat leaders as the price for President Bush getting some of his legislative agenda implemented, is beginning to unravel - since Democrats seem to have kept little if any of their part of the bargain.

You need more information here, Fred, to weigh what is going on. There is always an ongoing battle between the Legislative and Executive branches, and this could be a pi**ing contest that cares little about the subject and more about the process. So if anyone has more information about this matter, I'd appreciate their input, because I really don't trust NewsMax to tell the entire story here.

This battle will eventually end up in the United States Supreme Court ..... My prediction: The Supremes will order the President to disclose everything about William Jefferson Blowjob! .... Then GWB can go on national television and wash his hands of the Sinkmaster and the sleazy 'wifey' forever.

I missed the date of the article. My comments still stand.

WHY?

[Digger]

SO waht's new in this "Two-Party Cartel". Some day even you FReepers will get it. GW stated all during his election bid that ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. What we didn't know is that it applied only to the little people. He & Ashcroft had the chance to reign in John Wang immediately after being in office. They passed on it & the American people who want JUSTICE. GW also took an oath the defend us. He did NOT close the borders. Thst's enough for me to cancel him out as my leader & protector. Is there any better with the Dems? Heck NO. But that's the archaic, corruptness of this "bought & paid for" by the elites Congress with no real choices.

"I also understand that you believe it would be inconsistent with the constitutional doctrine of separation of powers and the department's law enforcement responsibilities to release these documents to the committee or make them available for review by committee representatives," Bush wrote. "It is my decision that you should not release these documents or otherwise make them available to the committee."
I would like to see another source for this quote.
As for the WH trying to defend this practice by saying it will limit law enforcement, that's just plain laughable especially since this case is 30 years old. Its almost out of the old Soviet Union.

[The Mayor]

Thanks
