"The Reagan administration had a unique opportunity to rescue Wallenberg at that very moment. I had credible evidence that Wallenberg was alive and well at that time," said Wolff, who once served in the Kennedy Justice Department.

So this guy was a flaming conservative lawyer for the Kennedys?

Pretty transparent. He gets to bash on Reagan and help the other Dims bash Roberts at the same time. Gee, maybe he'll get a book deal or get to hit the cable news channels to boot.

Nice precedent. I look forward to Senate staffers reviewing every memo and letter and email written by Democrats being considered for Judgeships and other positions requiring confirmation.

If we get to see attorney advice to the President, we can certainly see memos written by congressional staffers for their bosses. And memos written by executive branch bureaucrats for their bosses. Imagine getting to see the amoral strategizing of a Pelosi or Kennedy minion.

Unless this is a one-time thing, or something that only applies to Republicans.
