The Hound Dog August 1st, 2007

CNN just broke the news that former McConnell Political Director J. Scott Jennings has agreed to testify tomorrow morning before the Senate Judiciary Committee on his involvement in the US Attorney Scandal. While Jennings is expected to claim executive privilege on many questions, any questions on the involvement of Senator Mitch McConnell should not be covered under executive privilege:

Mark Paoletta, a lawyer for Jennings, told CNN his client will appear before the Judiciary Committee but would refuse to answer questions he feels are covered by executive privilege. Former White House political director Sara Taylor testified under similar circumstances in July.

Will any Senators on the Judiciary Committee question Jennings on Mitch McConnell’s involvement of the removal of his close friend and former General Counsel, David Huber, from the list of US Attorneys to be fired?
