Into the Bunker

The White House attempts at blanket stonewalling of testimony under the claim of “executive privilege” (starting with witnesses Taylor and Miers) will fail. This failure will also undermine their unexplained attempts to withhold documents, too. In the end what Congress really wants are the e-mails anyway; they expect the witnesses to lie as a matter of course.

UPDATE: Well, that was quick, Salon just reported that Taylor will appear in person on Wednesday as scheduled. Will she plead the fifth and “not recall” everything else? Probably so, but once again this leaves egg all over Bush and Fielding’s faces.
