Her call for the tapes is a flat-out bluff, the same as Cheney's call for CIA reports showing torture "worked". They're gambling the evidence can't or won't be released for legal or security reasons. That gives them the talking point that the evidence exoneratiing them exists, but is suppressed.

If you think the MSNBC interview is funny, you'll die in paroxysms if you listen to her self-contradicting interview on Monday's "All Things Considered" (NPR).

putting aside the irony of the wiretapping support angle, shouldnt the AG release the tapes as she requested? id normally say it sounds odd that she would sound so confident of her innocence, but i've seen delusional politicians so many times nothing would surprise me.
