Surely that would please all sides, right?
Is this a matter of national security ?

That's classified. It might be, but I can't tell you, because you don't have the necessary clearance.
Or should I say it's "crassified", so everyone knows I'm being humorous?

And on what possible grounds could they refuse?
I think they will cooperate in the end, after they have had sufficient time to sift through the docs to hide anything embarrassing.
Cause that is what "transparent" means. As transparent as a private corporation, they mean.

I hope they cooperate sufficiently for there to be a reasonable investigation. They've already turned over lots just by request, before any subpoena was issues, now the request is for lots more material, some of which doesn't pertain to the issue, no doubt so they can go on a fishing expedition. Quote:
White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler, in her letter, scolded GOP lawmakers for demanding more documents, noting the Obama administration has already turned over 85,000 pages of documents in the course of their investigation.
"The Committee's extremely broad request for documents -- now a subpoena -- is a significant intrusion on Executive Branch interests," she wrote, saying she can only conclude the subpoena was "driven more by partisan politics than a legitimate effort to conduct a responsible investigation."
Though the White House has turned over thousands of documents, Republicans say the administration has not provided everything they've requested. The House Energy and Commerce Committee voted Thursday to subpoena, and the subpoenas went out late Thursday to the White House and office of the vice president. http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2802658/posts assume it's the usual political game, is all. I believe both sides play this game from time to time, when they sniff something they might use to go fishing.

Hello,
So 'Crassic' is meant to be humorous because it purports to be an Asian-accented Classic?
I see.
Perhaps I do have brain damage that prevents me from seeing the humor in mocking an ethnic group's pronunciation of a word. Regularly. In any context.

Maybe they could release tapes with an 18 1/2 minute gap caused by a dumb secretary.

Humor is subjective. But as for the brain damage... it would explain much.

Obviously Rappy here has no such brain damage, because he'll freely make fun of any and every ethnic group, minority group, disabled people, the sick, the poor, the dead...
He really is an equal-opportunity sociopath. Which easily explains why he's a right-winger, of course.
