Thanks for all the hard work, esp on a holiday weekend. Question: does Bush have to go along with Trump executive privilege claim?
As to whether NARA is proceeding, I believe it is — as of now. There have been some follow ups, but they relate to Grassley requests for specific things in advance of the hearing. See here:https://www.archives.gov/foia/congressional-correspondence-related-to-the-nomination-of-brett-kavanaugh …

And, yes, I agree there are unanswered questions still. I have some pending with multiple people.

Thanks. Looking at NARA’s letter of August 29, it appears it is withholding information from the committee without any formal invocation of executive privilege. Not sure how that squares with the act or EO, but will take a closer look tomorrow.

I think it has to do with the wording of the request itself, which could obviate the need for a formal assertion of privilege — but I am still not sure (a) how that works or (b) if the letter does that. (But note the part in the most recent letter about staff discussions.)
