>>Duncan, didn't the courts already rule on the "attorney-client" privilege when it was claimed for Hillary? I also thought the decision had been appealed and the Supremes declined to hear the case. If I recall correctly the court ruled that Hillary could not claim the privilege because the attorney in question was a government attorney. Further, wasn't there even some discussion of the legality of Hillary using "government lawyers" to help her with the Whitewater investigation? I thought this question had been settled. bp

Yup.

Although Judge Johnson reached the right conclusions, the Supreme
Court could usefully resolve differences between her reasoning and that
used by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals a year ago in rebuffing a
similar White House claim that Hillary Clinton's conversations with
government lawyers about personal Whitewater matters fell under the
attorney-client privilege.
