Justice Department lawyers told the judge that future presidents and vice presidents may not cooperate with criminal investigations if they know what they say could become available to their political opponents and late-night comics who would ridicule them.
"If we become a fact-finder for political enemies, they aren't going to cooperate," Justice Department attorney Jeffrey Smith said during a 90-minute hearing. "I don't want a future vice president to say, `I'm not going to cooperate with you because I don't want to be fodder for 'The Daily Show.'"
Comics have been lambasting politicians since comics and politicians first existed!
I am afraid we have actually elected another asshole for president. We need to get out our Xanax and Valium and numb ourselves while America as we know it drives itself off the cliff and into extinction.
