The Obama administration is asserting executive privilege in refusing to turn over documents to Congress related to the Fast and Furious scandal, a major escalation in a clash between the White House and Hill Republicans just hours before a House committee votes to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress. (Snip) GOP leadership began portraying the executive privilege claim as a potential cover-up by Obama’s White House — a weighty charge in an election year.

??? GOP did not have to suggest WH cover up. Holder and Obama actions speak for themselves.

WHO are these two crack team reporters? Woodward and Bernstein, they are definitely NOT.

“Some House Republicans also tried to invoke the famous Watergate-era mantra, “Who knew what and when did they know it?” “

That’s not what was said. It was “What did the President know, and when did he know it?”. Attributed to Howard Baker.

Or, in the National Lampoon version, “What did the President know, and when did he stop knowing it?”

Politico, please explain how this is NOT a cover-up with endless delays and then suppression of evidence?

Obama lied, people died.

So much for TRANSPARENCY.

Impeachment procedings should begin and Holder should be up on charges of an accessory to murder.

No, ****ing **** GOP, now what do you intend to do about it, and don’t even bother telling me you’re pretty unhappy, because I really don’t care what your emotional state is.
