If they have nothing to hide, why on earth would they do this.

Spokesman Sean Spicer says the White House did not try to block Yates' testimony. He pointed to a March 24 letter from Yates' attorney, in which the attorney says that if the White House does not respond by a deadline, Yates will consider that to mean that the White House is not trying to invoke executive privilege, which would limit what she could disclose.
Spicer says the White House did not respond to the letter. He says the White House has "no problem with her testifying, plain and simple."

Spicer says? Are you serious?
This is the same guy who tried to fool the media with pictures that Trump got more of an audience than Obama?
