Fred Fielding just kicked Asscroft in the balls

[Bushknew]

Asscroft canÕt recall and explain what he knew and when he knew it.

1. maybe he's channeling Reagan

[sjgman9]

4. Heh. Reagan

Didnt he come up with the classic CYA quote

"I felt and believed one thing, but the facts were completely the opposite" ?


Its his response to the Iran-Contra scandal

[pinto]

2. good questioning job. Went back to the original question,

which the man would not or could not answer.

[Dookus]

3. Well..

Fielding is the odds-on favorite to have been "Deep Throat" during Watergate. If so, he's an honorable man.

5. Oh, you mean verbally

I was hoping you meant that in the literal sense. Verbally is good, too.

[Bushknew]

7. He literally couldnÕt answer his question, replied with I donÕt know.

I donÕt recall.

Fielding asked him to provide the answers and the paper trail of his briefings during that time.

IÕve got to read that transcript.

[Carni]

6. That was pretty damning

He was going along on the "offensive" in his normal cocky sanctimonious manner initially and then he had to pull the alzheimers number-this really looked bad IMO

I also think they trapped him with some of his comments about how Clinton admin was at fault--I think overnight some document will be unearthed that will make ASSCrack look like an even bigger liar than he does all ready!
