he has claimed to have not had any involvement with?
Example: not allowing former White House Political Director Sara Taylor and former White House Council Harriet Meyers to testify on matters that Bush has claimed to not be involved with.
It comes off as he is either lying about his involvement or he is obstructing justice or both.

He can gag anyone until he gets out of office. It the questions continue after he is out of office, they can be called to testify and his goose could be cooked.

This whole investigation is nothing but Political Grand Standing. Federal Prosecutors are part of the Executive Branch and can be fired for any reason that any President see's fit

The separation of powers is very clear and Congress even thought eh Democrats think they can have all power they can not and all of you libs keep something in mind if you get it it will come back to get you the same way you hope to get Bush." What comes around goes around"

You do not understand the scope of the privlege. It covers them and he is required to assert the privlege or he will waive it. He is doing the only right thing and should not be criticized for it.
