Flashback: Lott Said Claiming Executive Privilege Makes WH ‘Look Like They Are Hiding Something’
Yesterday on Fox News Sunday, Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott (R-MS) defended the Bush administration’s refusal to allow Karl Rove and other top White House aides to testify before Congress under oath, in public, and with a recorded transcript, claiming Bush had a “right to executive privilege.”
LOTT: The question is are the Democrats in the Senate interested in information or confrontation. In my mind, I think if the president would agree for his close advisers in the White House to testify before Congress under oath, he’d be making a huge mistake. There is a thing called executive privilege.
Watch it:
A vigorous defender of executive privilege today, Lott — like Tony Snow — has flip-flopped on executive privilege. Lott led the charge against President Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky saga, seeking out everything from tapes to sworn testimony from the White House. In March 1998, Lott appeared on NBC’s Meet the Press and lambasted the Clinton White House for invoking executive privilege:
LOTT: I think they’ve made a mistake by [invoking executive privilege]. I think it will damage the credibility. It looks like they are hiding something, so I think they shouldn’t have done it. I think it’s an improper use, and the courts will have to decide whether or not that’s a proper use. And it may wind up in the Supreme Court, like it did in the Watergate matter.
As Think Progress has noted, Clinton was far more transparent than Bush when Congress requested that his aides testify, allowing 31 of his top aides to appear in sworn testimony in front of Congress compared to Bush’s one.
Lott was exactly right — invoking executive privilege makes the Bush White House “look like they are hiding something.”

No wonder the Repugs hate Clinton so much! He was diabolical! Who else would have ever thought to use disclosure as a “stall tactic”???
Too bad Chimpy can’t say “Clinton, you magnificent bastard — I read your book!” The best he could say would be “Someone read your book to me — the juicy parts, anyway.”
March 26th, 2007 at 8:13 pmI remember when the Clinton thing was going on and I had to agree with Mr. Lott’s assessment then in that it did give the appearance that there was something to hide. As it turns out, Clinton did have something to hide and that was that he was engaging in an adulterous affair.
So, here we are again with an administration giving the appearance that they have something to hide. I’m sure that they do, in fact, have MUCH to hide and I am equally certain that it is going to be exponentially worse than getting a blowjob from an intern or sticking a cigar up her hoo-hoo.
March 26th, 2007 at 8:15 pmhoo-hoo?
There are damn few “reporters” for any major media outlet that would call Trent on this appalling piece of hypocrisy. He’s completely safe on FauxNews, but he could go on any of the Sunday morning shows hawking the same tired pile of crap and no one would call him on it. And that’s why jerks like this can keep pulling the same stunt over and over again — no one busts them in the national media.

They are definitely at the bottom of their barrel. Lott has sold his soul to regain a position of power. Nothing he says or does has any credibility.

March 26th, 2007 at 10:11 pmGlad that our esteemed Senator has such a rich knowledge of American history. When he lists the original Presidents that have exercised executive privilege, he lists Alexander Hamilton, a founding father yes, a president never.
March 26th, 2007 at 10:34 pmI guess I shouldn’t get my hopes up that at least the republican leadership would be intelligent…
Lott must be deeply involved in the muck, feets a stickin’
March 26th, 2007 at 10:36 pmwhy else would he go on record as defending something unless it protects him, and exposing him will make things apparent that he wants to hide?
Nice try, TP….But your dishonest attempt to equate a congressional hearing with a grand jury investigation is as ignorant as it is embarassing. Re-read U.S. v. Nixon, kiddies. Seriously, I realize TP is a partisan site. However, when it attempts to deceive readers regarding two entirely different set of events without explanation, it goes beyond partisanship and into dishonesty.
March 26th, 2007 at 10:57 pmExley,
TP is comparing Lott’s WORDS then and now.
You’re welcome.
March 26th, 2007 at 11:07 pmFlashback: Lott Said Claiming Executive Privilege Makes WH ‘Look Like They Are Hiding Something’
Exley– Nice try, TP….But your dishonest attempt to equate a congressional hearing with a grand jury investigation is as ignorant as it is embarassing. Re-read U.S. v. Nixon, kiddies.
So-when is claiming executive privilege o.k and not make the WH look guilty??
March 26th, 2007 at 11:12 pmZooey,
“Executive privilege” is a legal and constitutional doctrine. It’s invocation is fact-specific. Therefore, it is not at all inconsistent to say one invocation of executive privilege is questionable, while saying another such invocation is constitutionally unassailable.
TP is disingenuously attempting to equate legally two situations that are factually distinguishable.
March 26th, 2007 at 11:16 pm#43
UHHHHH, Exley, then why are some of Gonzo’s yes folks taking the Fifth in a Senate Hearing? So this bunch of Repug Nazis can try to slither away into the night, like the Vampires they are, maybe?
Must be SOOOO hard to still be one of the 29%ers!
March 26th, 2007 at 11:17 pm#45 Joefriday,
U.S. v Nixon addressed executive privilege vis a vis a grand jury subpoena in an investigation re: a criminal trial.
U.S. v Nixon did not address the issue of congressional access to executive materials.
When TP attempts to blur the line between two separate types of investigations, it acts either dishonestly or ignorantly.
March 26th, 2007 at 11:22 pmIt ain’t gonna fly, Ex.
March 26th, 2007 at 11:27 pmZoo, me thinks Ex is kinda rearranging the deck chairs on the SS Minnow while Cap’n Dubya is playing with the wheel as it sinks into the slimy depths of Lake NeoCon.
Getting to the truth has never been a Repug Family Value!
March 26th, 2007 at 11:32 pmZooey,
I “speak” (write) as someone who believes WH officials should testify in public and under oath in this matter. I just don’t like when TP disingenuously attempts to obfuscate between two utterly distinguishable situations.
March 26th, 2007 at 11:33 pmHey, upside00. Long time, no see.
We should know by now that the truth is subjective in Wingnuttia. :)
March 26th, 2007 at 11:34 pmExley,
It’s not the situations, it’s the words coming out of Lott’s mouth about investigations involving the White House.
Got it, little buddie?
March 26th, 2007 at 11:36 pmZoo, Nice to see U 2! Seems like we are having so many of the Wingnuts unscrewing, it is hard to keep up!
Shall we just give the Worst President Ever Award now and save us all the time when he either Lame Duck-walks to Paraguay in 09 or is brought up on War Crimes and other minor infractions of the law he has tried to rewrite to his own benefit? Maybe Gonzo and Harriett can be his mouthpieces, Hee Hee!
March 26th, 2007 at 11:41 pmZooey,
*sigh*
I realize politically, it seems hypocritical (And perhaps it is)….But legally and constitutionally, the situations are different.
Again, however, I think this idea that WH officials should be “interviewed” behind closed doors, without being under oath, and w/o a transcript is absurd. I said this from Day One.
March 26th, 2007 at 11:47 pmBy the way….

March 27th, 2007 at 12:03 am“Executive privilege†is a legal and constitutional doctrine.
Really? I thought the constitution was pretty damned clear that there was a seperation of power.

Why, Exley? Why not under oath? The only reason is that you expect them to lie and get away with it. To quote oh so many right wingers…”if you have nothing to hide”

There is indeed “a seperation of power.”
That is from where executive privilege stems. See U.S. v. Nixon.
March 27th, 2007 at 12:13 am#64 So, where does that “executive privilege” end? Do you think the executive branch has a right to alter bills (with signing statements)?

March 27th, 2007 at 12:23 amI see your point, Exley, but it’s kind of irrelevant for one very big reason: Trent Lott never mentioned the difference between the two cases when he defended Executive Priviledge in this clip. He simply said, “there is such a thing as Executive Priviledge.” When confronted with the numbers of Clinton aides who testified before Congress, he didn’t say anything about the specifics of those situations, which you suggest is the key to understanding why Lott is not hypocritical and why TP is. All he said was “That may have not been the smartest thing to do.”
Plus he never actually said WHY he would defend the decision to allow testimony as long as it wasn’t public and under oath. He danced around that one like he was chopreographed by Paula Abdul.
March 27th, 2007 at 12:23 amAlso, as someone mentioned above: Alexander Hamilton? And Executive Priviledge???
What IS that boy smoking???

March 27th, 2007 at 8:30 amThe problem with wingnuttery (now with more nuts) is that they look for every ding dang crack, crevice and chiasm in the Constitution and pound away at these fissures, like water through a gorge, until the surrounding walls weaken and crumble, making larger openings from which more unadulterated power flows.
It truly is subversive, treasonous and destructive of the actual embodiment of the construct of our system of governance. The whole notion of an insulation of the

Actually minnie,
Look at the intent inherent in that phraseology. What “alternatives” can the Preznit possibly look at that would possibly be a problem for anyone giving that advice….(Jeopardy theme playing) I’ll wait….
It is called UNLAWFUL alternatives. Therefore, this BS of this privledge is actually counter to the very notion of a lawful government. Similar to signing statements. Once only considered as a way for the prez to instruct the office under his branch how to understnad the law that is being enacted, now used as contrivances to say whether he will obey the friggin law at all.
How ridiculous a notion at all. Again UNLAWFUL. Try reading the other passges in the books you are reading, they are all supposed to go together, and flow from one another, not have sections or passages pulled out for convenience’s sake. ANd definately NOT becasue it happens to fit Karl Rove’s Leo Straussian world view.
How digusting these America haters.

time for you to realize, like the rest of us did long ago – Clinton doesn’t matter any more, and never did very much in the first place. You can’t excuse the manson family based on what some other hippies did or didn’t do, and you can’t defend bush with clinton, either.

March 28th, 2007 at 2:02 am(I know it’s a stupid comment, but I think it everytime
I see him.)
All I wanna know is whether Trent Lott’s porch was effectively reattached to his vacation home post-Katrina. Having just gotten back form the gulf-coast I have to say that this dude is more than a little out of touch with his own Mississippi constituents. That said, I can’t imagine why he would care about them. They are poor and black and he’s a Republican after all.
As for this particular quote, it really is an absurd flip-flop and would’ve made me think less of him, provided he hadn’t already sunk to the lowest possible depths by being a virulently racist bastard from day one.
March 28th, 2007 at 9:45 amHey, tom baker (aka Dr Who). The Clintons do matter since another of the corrupt America hating family is attempting to take over the country and run it into the ground.
What also matters is the hypocrisy of this site and the ignorance of the people who run it. They ignore when DemocRATS do anything and nit pick the Republicans. They ignore the fact that Clinton claimed executive privilege to cover his crimes more times than any other presidency. If you allowed him to do it then you have now set a precedent. Now Bush can do it whenever he wants and if you open your ignorance biased mouths your hypocrites.
So, you spoke up, you lose – ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL
You can’t win even on your own playground.
ROTFL
March 28th, 2007 at 12:36 pmhappy – you sound like you’re not very happy at all- what i hear is the laughter of a clown who’s “crying on the inside” – you lost , last November, and you’re going to again (even bigger) in ‘08, because you and your ilk are paranoid, reactionary radicals, incompetent to govern. In another couple years, it will be just you and your am radio, ranting to yourselves, trying hard to laugh at the people who are laughing at you – like we here at TP do, every single time you bother to post something.
hey, i’ve got an idea that’ll make you feel better. call the 800# for the radio show of that drug addict cult leader of yours, and spend a couple hours on hold, thinking about what you’re going to say, and how impressed he’ll be, then get on the air, trip over your own tongue for a couple minutes – then kick back and pretend that he cared what you had to say, or that anyone was really listening to you at all.
have a super-happy, Democratic Day!!!!!
