Bush Invokes Executive Privilege on Hill. Well, it's always nice when someone shows his true colors, isn't it? Combine this with him and our Lord High Minister of Injustice locking down presidential documents in direct defiance of an existing law mandating their release, and it's plain that he simply doesn't intend to release information about anything. He's trying to establish the pattern now, at the moment when he's riding highest, because if he tries it later, once people are back in the habit of regarding him with all the respect he has truly earned, he won't get away with it. (I mean, let's get real. What possible executive privilege can be involved in releasing the records of a 30-year-old FBI case where it's already known that there was FBI malfeasance? Unless, of course, he plans to repeat that pattern as well. Oh, wait ....)
The problem is, he's managed to cheese off his own party. AGAIN. This may be just one step too far for them to take, even right now.
