re: #1 ggt

I don’t want to make of it. The IG report ought to shed plenty of sunlight on the matter.

What bothers me most of all is the Executive Privilege assertion. If the AG/JD’s office did nothing wrong, why the would the WH do that? Surely they had nothing to do with the program- why would they go out on a limb, make themselves targets if the JD/AG’s office did nothing wrong, as they assert?

If the AG/JD screwed up, just say so. The cover up is always worse than the crime. It isn’t as if they were trying to do something self serving- their efforts were in service to fighting the tsunami of illegal drugs coming into the country.
