On the one hand, I can see the argument: if the AG has to worry who will see his private notes and thoughts on who should and shouldn’t be appointed to an investigation and his reasons why, even if it’s decades later, that’s going to color his decisions, or at least change what he writes down. If he’s censoring himself because of this possible exposure later, then it weakens the usefulness of the documentation.
That said, Bush is really getting his two cents out of the current approval ratings, init he?
