25 Aug 2008 // On August 25, 2008, CREW sued the Department of Justice for failing to provide records of Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's interview with Vice President Richard Cheney stemming from the investigation into the leak of Valerie Plame Wilson's covert identity as a CIA officer.
For over a year the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has been seeking documents from DOJ related to the leak of Ms. Wilson's covert identity. While some records have been provided, DOJ has refused to provide the committee with access to records related to the vice president's interviews, despite the fact that the interviews were not grand jury material and the Office of Special Counsel had made no promises to the vice president regarding their use.
When the committee subpoenaed the records, Attorney General Michael Mukasey asked President Bush to assert executive privilege over the records and on July 17, 2008, the committee announced that the president had done so, blocking DOJ from providing them. CREW then sent a Freedom of Information Act request to DOJ for the interview records, requesting that they be processed on an expedited basis due to public interest in the matter.
Though it agreed to expedition, the Department has failed to provide CREW with any records or identify a date by which processing would be complete. As a result, CREW filed suit in federal court alleging violations of the Freedom of Information Act. The matter has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Emmett Sullivan.

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.
