The Trump administration is withholding more than 100,000 pages of Brett Kavanaugh’s records from the Bush White House on the basis of presidential privilege ahead of the Supreme Court nominee’s confirmation hearing.

The Senate Judiciary Committee was notified of the action Friday. George W. Bush’s attorney Bill Burck told the panel it had essentially completed its work compiling documents, according to a letter obtained by The Associated Press. Bush directed them to err “on the side of transparency and disclosure, and we believe we have done so.”

But the current administration is also able to review the records, and the Trump White House “has directed that we not provide these documents,” the letter says.

The Trump admin will be releasing 267,000 pages of the records from the Bush White House, the article explains.

But it's outrageous that they're withholding more than 100,000 pages.

1. As you can see, the media is not reporting this.

It's the right wing. They truly believe that stacking the United States Supreme Court will give them decades of their laws.

It won't work that way. Even t-rump's 124 judges appointments, it ain't gonna work. RWers are un-American.

2. Is there standing or grounds for some entity to sue? nt

Grand larceny

6. dRump loves the privilege and secrecy parts of being President.

We already know Kavanaugh's just a bit less ethical than Roy Cohn. The only thing that can be in the 100k pages is transcripts of him eating babies.

7. Dems need to play hardball and refuse to attend a vote until they get the docs.

Especially they should do this if the docs showing his involvement in the torture memos is excluded, as I'd bet it is. This docs would prove or disprove the possible perjury claims made about him. If they are withholding it, you can bet your bottom dollar that is the reason. Of course msm isn't covering this, they are big business and that's what Kavanaugh represents, so they go along with turning our country into a fascist state.

8. It wouldn't matter if they refused to attend a vote,

all it takes is a simple majority to confirm a SC nominee, which the pubs already have.

9. Disgraceful coverup. This is not an open society when things like this happen.

IMPEACH!
