Sauce for the Goose

During the Clinton Administration, Secret Service logs were used to track such visitors to the White House as Monica Lewinski and Clinton campaign donor Denise Rich, the wife of fugitive financier Marc Rich, who Clinton pardoned at the end of his administration. The logs were used by the Republicans and the Courts in their attempts to show wrongdoing.

Last spring, during the Abramoff scandals, Bush quietly signed a statement making such logs his property--not ours.
Now, that same agreement is being used in an attempt to keep the Washington Post from obtaining the records of visitors to the office of Vice President Dick Cheney.
A Federal judge ordered the production of the Secret Service logs and the White House is disputing the order citing the agreement Bush signed last spring.

The same documents the Repulicans asserted were public domain and used against Clinton are now deemed off limits to the American people and belonging solely to Bush.

If THIS doesn't remind those of us who were around back then of the agonies of Watergate, I don't know what will.

Great minds, TC.....

We posted the same story at about the same time.

Now why doesn't Crawford Caligula want America to know when and whom Abramoff visited?

can't imagine why that would be.

the great cover-up has begun.
Congress had better get a move on before all the documents are shredded and the email bins are cleaned out.
still, there're enough crimes on record, they should have enough evidence to be going on with.

I agree. The biggest challenge facing the Democrats is choosing which crimes to investigate.
