What's the Fuss?

Stop reading if you do not understand this:

The following information are not statements of fact, but are allegations based on the above theory. We continue with the presumption that the information is not allegations of illegal activity directed at any specific individual with Sidley Austin, nor are they conclusions of law about the conduct of Ralston.

I have to admit that I had stopped reading well before that, and just started skimming, because I stopped understanding somewhere in the first or second paragraph.

But, in case you are willing and able, Cannonfire has pulled out somebody's anonymous comments on Josh Marshall's blog about what might really be behind the administration's refusal to comply with subpoenas and claims of executive privilege. Joe's summary is that this involves data mining by the administration through the warrantless wiretaps, not for information about terrorist suspects, but about political adversaries in an election year.
