Plame Exclusive: Attorney General Refuses to Comply with a congressional request for information on the case.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez has sent a letter to the House Intelligence Committee denying a request by nine committee Democrats seeking information about the Valerie Plame case.

The contents of the letter were described by a congressional aide and an administration official, who have both read the letter. It is unclear as to when, or whether even at all, the text of the letter will be released to the public.

In the letter, Gonzalez asserted that the Justice Department would not provide any information to members of Congress as long as a criminal investigation of the Plame matter was still ongoing.

But committee Democrats, in their request that Gonzalez turn over the information, had cited recent news reports and court filings by special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, indicating that virtually all aspects of the criminal investigation had been completed as long as six months ago.

2. This is exactly why Gonzales is where he is.

He's there to obstruct justice for the idiot-in-chief. How can the Senate stop these people? I don't think they can and this regime knows that and intends to obstruct as often as they wish because they KNOW they can't be stopped. Their arrogance is astounding.

No one will, but it would be funny to see.
