Reply #39: Easy to understand why

yhey might want them: to get immunity. However, the WH could have arranged to have hearings at any time over the course of this thing AND to give immunity to whoever was involved.

"Speaker Hastert, we need hearings."
"Got 'em"
"Good Doggie"
"Now, we need blanket immunity for this list of people"
"Got it .. gee that's a loooong list. Anything else"
"Catch this frisbee with your teeth ... Good Doggie.

Now that things are falling apart, it may be harder to get, though I'm sure they can still get the leadership of the House to roll over and play dead.
