me trying to track people down to talk for a story over a holiday weekend
Honestly, though, it’s seriously great to see the number of people who ARE responsive on a Sunday evening to talk about a ton of #lawdork issues. Thanks!
I know you all have been waiting to read a story tonight, so here it is!
Republicans Are Fighting To Keep Brett Kavanaugh's Documents From Holding Up His Supreme Court Nomination buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…
In 2005, it was Harriet Miers who told Sen. Leahy that executive privilege would not be used "as a general matter" to withhold documents about John Roberts' time in fed'l govt. buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg… 
In 2010, the archivist of the US told Leahy and another senator, one Jeff Sessions(!), that Obama would not be asserting executive privilege as to Elena Kagan's documents. buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…
Of course, that approach from recent presidents of both parties is not the approach Trump is taking now. A letter on Friday night from the lawyer from former Pres. GWB told us so. buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…
But all of that — and the reason why I spent today working — is just one small piece of the whole picture here of what has happened when it comes to the millions of pages of documents from Brett Kavanaugh's GWB White House time. buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…
