NATIONAL JOURNAL: Administration Withheld E-Mails About Rove (05/10/07):

"The Bush administration has withheld a series of e-mails from Congress showing that senior White House and Justice Department officials worked together to conceal the role of Karl Rove in installing Timothy Griffin, a prot�g�of Rove's, as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas.

"The withheld records show that D. Kyle Sampson, who was then-chief of staff to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, consulted with White House officials in drafting two letters to Congress that appear to have misrepresented the circumstances of Griffin's appointment as U.S. attorney and of Rove's role in supporting Griffin."

Comment: Another example of the Bush administration attitude towards its responsibility to provide information to the Congress and the public. JAD
