[rockhound]

the most transparent administration my rear end.

BO has exercised executive privilege to hide the fast and furious documents from review, what BS

I don't care if it was George Washington himself pulling that kind of crap, it's just plain wrong and I'm seriously outraged at how border patrol agents and civilians have been killed from weapons from this flawed and failed operation and the people responsible up top are clearly covering themselves.

Congress really needs to step up their game and make it clear to our current and future presidents that shit doesn't fly especially to the voters!

Is he protecting Holder? or himself?

I'd be willing to bet that somewhere on at least 1 piece of paper is "the one" giving his approval in the process, maybe even directing the process

He's trying to protect himself, but he's doing so in a way similar to Richard Nixon ... and we all saw how that worked out.

In a letter sent to Obama late Tuesday, Holder urged Obama to exert executive privilege, because sharing internal documents with lawmakers could "have significant, damaging consequences.”

Sharing the documents “would inhibit candor of such Executive Branch deliberations in the future and significantly impair the Executive Branch’s ability to respond independently and effectively to congressional oversight,” Holder wrote to Obama.

The executive privilege won't protect Holder from the contempt of Congress vote... but hiding the documents behind Exec. Priv. will protect anyone in the WH that is named/addressed in them.

They should require him to legally change his name to "Eric Withholder"

How pathetic. So is an executive privilege the "end" of this then? Or is there a way for those in Congress concerned about bringing this to light and to justice, to still bring it out?

Nope it's done, the end, Issa and the "witch hunt crew" will never see those docs

they can hold eh to contempt but that won't mean shit until the FULL house agrees on the punishment, that will be the day eh

It worked for Nixon, Clinton, and Bush, so why not use it to cover your ass.

that is what I am thinking as well.

Does anyone know if there is a way around this to get those documents. at this point I will just assume it ties obama to the whole thing and I want to see the entire fucking ship brought down...captain and all.
