President Bush is bracing for what could be an onslaught of investigations by the new Democratic-led Congress by hiring lawyers to fill key White House posts and preparing to play defense on countless document requests and possible subpoenas.
Bush is moving quickly to fill vacancies within his stable of lawyers, though White House officials say there are no plans to drastically expand the legal staff to deal with a flood of oversight.
“No, at this point, no,” Tony Snow, the White House spokesman, said recently. “We’ll have to see what happens.”
Sure Bush didn’t spend anytime planning for how to deal with a post-Saddam Iraq, instead he chose to ignore the actual plans and send almost 3,000 of our soldiers to die. Now when his ass is on the line, he is getting ready to cover every angle. Enjoy Mr. President – I hope the Democrats rake you over the coals time and time again.
