Chairmen Leahy and Conyers Write to Fielding

Sounds like the Dems might actually be getting serious.

Hoorah!

The Gavel » Blog Archive » Chairmen Leahy and Conyers Write to Fielding:

Today, House and Senate Judiciary Chairmen John Conyers and Patrick Leahy sent a letter to White House Counsel Fred Fielding, responding to the President’s executive privilege assertion over documents relating to the US Attorney investigation. The two reiterated their concern that the president’s assertion was unprecedented and over-reaching. They also demanded the White House “immediately provide us with the specific bases for your claims regarding each document withheld via a privilege log…and a copy of any explicit determination by the President with respect to the assertion of privilege.”
