From Letter:
In addition, even if the presidential communications privilege did
apply to some of these subpoenaed documents, Espy made clear that “the
presidential communications privilege is, at alltimes, a qualified one,”
and that a showing of need could overcome it.
Such a need — indeed a compelling one — plainly exists in this case.The
Justice Department has steadfastly maintained that the documents sought
by the Committee do not implicate the White House whatsoever. If true,
they are at best deliberative documents between and among Department
personnel who lack the requisite “operational proximity” to the
President.
Truly an interesting week for our country. Tomorrow could be the most important day for our country in a long time. Not because of a war or an election, tomorrow we will see a test of the executive branch as well as some interesting tests to the constitution.
