Leahy, Specter Push for Info about Surveillance Program

<--Another love letter to Gonzo.

From TPMmuckraker:

In a joint letter today, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Pat Leahy (D-VT) and ranking member Arlen Specter (R-PA) wrote to demand documents relevant to the administration's domestic surveillance program, specifically the the legal justifications and analysis for the program.

Noting that the committee has been seeking these documents for the last 18 months, the two wrote, "Your consistent stonewalling and misdirection have prevented this Committee from carrying out its constitutional oversight and legislative duties for far too long." James Comey's testimony last week -- that a number of senior Justice Department officials and FBI Director Robert Mueller were prepared to resign when the administration authorized a surveillance program without Justice Department's legal certification -- has added even more urgency to their request.

I wouldn't hold my breath, Senators, of getting an honest and straight answer from 'I can't recall' Gonzo!
