First round of Kavanaugh's White House documents released

Source: The Hill

BY JORDAIN CARNEY - 08/09/18 01:47 PM EDT

The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday publicly released its first tranche of documents from Brett Kavanaugh's work in the George W. Bush White House.

The batch being released, totaling more than 5,700 pages, is part of more than 125,000 pages given to the committee last week by the George W. Bush Presidential Library. The office of Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said they expect more of the tranche to be cleared for public release over the next "several days."

William Burck, a lawyer for Bush’s legal team, noted in a letter to Grassley that due to "constraints" on National Archives staff, the legal team was in the process of determining which documents do not include privileged information and can be publicly released.

"In light of the constraints on NARA’s resources, and in the interest of expediting appropriate access to President Bush’s presidential records in furtherance of education and research about the Bush Administration, we are producing to the Committee on a rolling basis commencing today publicly releasable versions of documents that, in our view, do not contain information covered by a Presidential Records Act exemption or applicable privilege," Burck wrote in an Aug. 8 letter to Grassley.

In other words, due to the need to make sure nothing incriminating or of a patently fascist nature comes to light.

There won't be much left to release, will there!

Thank you for that link. There's obviously so much dirt in that trove of documents, they must have a team of pencil pushers redacting - and possibly shredding - around the clock.

These people are straight out of a banana republic.
