28 Aug 2008 // Today CREW filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in CREW v. Dep't of Justice, a FOIA lawsuit seeking copies of the FBI's interview of Vice President Cheney in connection with Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation of the leak of Valerie Plame Wilson's covert identity. Attorney General Michael Mukasey refused to turn the interview and related notes over to the House Oversight Committee in response to a Committee subpoena, claiming that the documents were subject to executive privilege in their entirety. The vice-president had no promise of confidentiality when he spoke to the FBI. Although the Department of Justice ("DOJ") granted CREW's request to expedite the agency's processing of the FOIA request weeks ago, it has yet to produce a single document to CREW or otherwise claim an exemption for any of the requested documents. CREW's emergency motion seeks to compel DOJ to process the request within 10 days.

Please help expose these crooks since the Democratic Congress seems not to have the time or inclination to pursue many of these issues with hearings and subpoenas.
