Nope..that just wont fly in light of the facts....Congress has acted in the manner in which it nearly always has acted in the performance of its oversight function.

But hey, you have your opinion.
How do you explain the fact that they did not take the WH's offer? They had nothing to loose.

I think the WH's position has been to protect executive privilege. As they protect executive privilege, they offered a compromise. So I see the WH as being more cooperative than Congress at this point.
