Yah... cuz that isn't enough to make you go 'hhhmmmmm'. I don't think that you should be able to hide anything with going into a postition like this... same with the President. We should be able to know anything that we want if it isn't sensitive info.

It is just some of the memos... but memos could be telling.



In a letter to Sen. Jeff Sessions, the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee Republican, Robert Bauer, counsel to Obama, implied the president may use executive privilege to hide some memos Elena Kagan wrote when she served in the Clinton White House.

“President Obama does not intend to assert executive privilege over any of the documents requested by the Committee,” Bauer writes.
