jen pesky joining us now now sacci. good morning. gregg: jen, let me start with you. is this going too far? is the letter going too far? absolutely. it s an absurd claim. apparently, congressman issa has a short memory because not only were these tactics started during the bush administration, but executive privilege has been around for three decades. it was actually started during the reagan administration. so the obama administration is absolutely consistent with current law, and they ve handed over 7600 documents over the last 14 months. so this is an unfortunate, partisan fishing expedition when congress has a lot more important things to be focused on right now. gregg: you know, kate, and, in fact, i do have a copy here of the democratic responses on the committee to this spire affair entire affair, and they say, yes, this is a partisan, political fishing expedition. do you worry this will hurt republicans?
