White House agrees to coordinate with the Senate Judiciary Committee on choosing an independent consultant to recover all those lost emails.

Nice. The Senate gets to help pick who will find the emails but the White House still hasn't agreed to let the Senate see the emails once they are found. Ah, compromise.

Update: Speaking of compromise, Fred Fielding has his work cut out for him:

Sources tell NPR that Fielding actually wants to negotiate with Congress about how the interviews [of White House staff] will take place. But Fielding has not been able to persuade President Bush to go along.
