Okay, now I believe they are hiding something substantive. Previously, I thought they were stonewalling for the sake of stonewalling but now it looks very much like they are hiding stuff.

Judiciary chairmen blast White House claim of executive privilege

Thursday , June 28, 2007 Posted: 11:46 AM
WHITE HOUSE (AP) - The chairmen of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees are blasting the White House over its latest move in the fired prosecutors controversy.

The White House Thursday asserted executive privilege in rejecting a congressional subpoena for documents related to the firing of federal prosecutors.

In a letter to the panels, White House counsel Fred Fielding also made clear that former presidential counsel Harriet Miers and former political director Sara Taylor would not testify next month.

Fielding said the White House would not reveal internal communications, calling it "a bedrock presidential prerogative."

Senator Patrick Leahy calls the move "Nixonian stonewalling." The Senate Judiciary Committee chairman also accuses President Bush of acting as if he's "above the law."

House Judiciary chairman John Conyers says the assertion of executive privilege was "unprecedented in its breadth and scope" and shows "an appalling disregard" for the people's right to know.
