More Stonewalling on US Attorney documents
Justice Department In New Fight Over Papers on Firings
The Justice Department is refusing to release hundreds of pages of additional documents related to the firings of eight U.S. attorneys, setting up a fresh clash with Capitol Hill in a controversy that continues to threaten Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales’s hold on his position.
The Senate Judiciary Committee, whose investigators have been allowed to view, but not obtain copies of, the records in question, is preparing subpoenas for those papers as well as for all e-mails or documents from the Justice Department and the White House connected to the dismissals of the prosecutors.
There’s a point that I will not grow tired of making on such developments, thus:
The administration would rather pay the political price of stonewalling on evidence like this, rather than let it out. The inescapable conclusion is that they are hiding something.
