“The executive privilege only covers communications between the president and his advisors,” Biden said in a Boston Globe interview published in Dec. 20, 2007. “Even when the privilege does apply, it is not absolute; it may be outweighed by the public’s interest in the fair administration of justice.”

And now DoJ papers that Obama said he has never seen are covered under Executive Privilege, Whyzzat?

So, do you agree with Biden in 2007 and therefore disagree with Cheney from 2000 to 2008?

No, I do believe Biden needs to eat his own dog food, what a hypocrite.

You need to watch the beam in your own eye. Or, are you saying that it was OK for Cheney because he said it was OK but it isn't OK for Biden because he said it wasn't OK? I suppose there is something to be said for that position.
