Clearinghouse for Kavanaugh documents is a Bush White House lawyer, angering Senate Democrats

[shanti]

This is beyond ridiculous! At the rate they are being reviewed, they will not all be released.

Call your Senators now and demand that Republicans release Kavanaugh's Records.

1. There isn't much choice

President Obama, by executive order (that I think previous Presidents had also done), said that former Presidents have to sign off on the release of documents from their administrations (in practice, this means his library). Of course the attorneys for Bush's library are going to be Republicans.

At the rate they are being reviewed, they will not all be released.

Yep. And we pretty much knew that going in. We're just using it as a possible lever to give Senators an excuse to vote against him without appearing to oppose him directly. The "angering" is all for show.
