Sounds like a dictator in the WH
This has left the Republicans running in circles, wringing their hands, screaming ‘what now?’ ‘What now’?
I hope so. But if nothing else, this move shows that Obama is involved in this up to his squinty little eyeballs.
Now it’s really starting to sound like Watergate. It definitely looks like a coverup and it is.
That was their plan from day one...string it out as long as possible then go for executive privilege. Wonder how many top stories this will generate in the MSL......crickets.
Desperation move after Issa shut down Holder yesterday.
IMPEACH THEM BOTH!!!!!!!
Modify that contempt order, make it an impeachment filing instead.
3.5 years. And look where we are.
No one died during Watergate.
Cannot write anymore, not fit to print.
Ah the most transparent regime strikes again! ......They will give up docs over their dead bodies and the Republicans are too spineless to do anything about it
“The White House has asserted executive privilege over documents related to the ‘Fast and Furious’ scandal. Stay tuned to Fox News Channel for developments on this breaking story.”
The criminal cabal composed of Obama, Jarrett, Napolitano, and Holder are all involved in a conspiracy which illegally trafficked assault weapons to international terrorist organizations (drug gangs). With the issuing of executive priveledge it is now clear Obama’s fingerprints are all over this. And Holder cannot claim to have been just following orders (didn’t work in the Nuremberg trials).
Hillary should immediately separate herself from these criminals, otherwise she may be implicated as well and thus forfeit any future political aspirations on the national level.
If the Republicans don’t announce today that they are drawing up Articles of Impeachment, they are the useless bunch of sh*ts that I believe them to be.
“United States v. Nixon” makes it pretty clear that “executive privilege” does not apply to information sought in criminal investigations of the executive branch.
That they waited so long to claim the privilege undermines it’s validity.
This is not the proper use of EP. I know Obama and Holder don’t care.
“White House Has Asserted Executive Privilege”
“...just wanted to give Holder a chance to hang himself.”
More than just Holder have painted themselves in a corner.
Methinks MSM journalists will smell blood in the water. They may be dyed in the wool leftists, but their self interest will trump ideology because Honor, Virtue and Loyalty are not on the top of their list.
One or more out there are are thinking Pulitzer. “Woodward & Bernstein made a 40 year industry from Watergate. Why can’t I cash in on this?”
Big big mistake. For one thing, this isn’t an issue for executive privilege and next thing is that Obama has played right into the issue of his much vaunted “transparency.”
This was truly a stupid move on his part.
This F&F is big, Issa, never give up.
Not that I think the House GOP "leadership" has the stones for that fight this close to an election cycle.
Effing cowards.
