Conyers Responds to Continuing W.H. Obstruction if Justice


John, you are going to have to call Bush a criminal before anything good is gonna happen.

I know how hard that is and how every Congress is loathe to do such a thing, but it must be done.

Chairman Conyers Responds to White House Refusal to Justify Blanket Privilege Claims

July 9th, 2007 by Jesse Lee

Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers released the following statement in response to a letter from the White House in which the White House reiterates its intentions to assert executive privilege, without providing justification for the privilege claim as requested by the Committee:

“We are extremely disappointed with the White House letter. While we remain willing to negotiate with the White House, they adhere to their unacceptable all-or-nothing position, and now will not even seek to properly justify their privilege claims. Contrary to what the White House may believe, it is the Congress and the Courts that will decide whether an invocation of Executive Privilege is valid, not the White House unilaterally.”
