HRH Hussein Odingo II only sent a cover letter from the White Hut claiming EP. What a sad bunch of amateurs. If F&F wasn’t so serious it would be hilarious.

“Rumor has it he already has the documents in his possession, he just needs the confirmation.”

Your post is dead on. They’ve had these documents and confessions for awhile. The day after the 2010 elections boxes of documents suddenly appeared in Daryl Issa’s office.

I wonder what Obama is thinking right now. Is he thinking, “Oh sh!t...I am done.” or what. Must be quite a scene in the White House.

Malignant narcissists NEVER admit that they have done anything wrong and cannot see any reason for consequences to their actions. So no, Obama believes he is home free simply because he says so.

Grassley:

“How can the president exert executive privilege over documents he’s supposedly never seen?”

Bears repeating. Over and over.

I’m thinking that the SCOTUS scheduled the Thursday session as an exclamation point on more unexpected employment news.

If the news isn’t bad enough, they will drop it next Thursday.

I would hope the Supreme Court would not be so overtly political as to time the release of the ruling to cause the greatest political impact.

The letter asserting privilege wasn’t even from him.

Obozo may not realize it but the senior military leaders are just salivating at the news of this and the drool is just dripping off their fangs. They are poised to join in for the kill.

A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner said Obama’s move “implies that White House officials were either involved in the ‘Fast and Furious’ operation or the cover-up that followed.

directly from the DUmp -- even the DUmmies are putting it together, unless this is a LOUSY FREEPER TROLL:

11. Do None Of You People realize what has just happened! Holder has just linked Obama to the Fast and Furious program!

This now opens the President up to all sorts of investigations which can not be good at all in an election year! Holder is circling the drain and he is taking the President with him. Can no one here see this?

There is way too much evidence, REAL evidence against Holder. Obama should have cut him loose last year. It makes no difference if this is a continuation of a Bush project or not, it should never have gone as far as it did. To say that Holder is the guy who stopped the project is just an insult to our intelligence. He stopped after he got caught!

People died you guys! A Federal agent died! If this were Bush's AG you guys would be singing a different song. Some things are just unspinable.

The SCOTUS has already ruled that this sort of paperwork is NOT covered under EP. It would have to contain direct communications with the AG and the President concerning this program which is something all involved (including the President) have denied the whole time! This is a Watergate moment people and it is bad news right now! Get your heads out of the sand!

I wonder who typed up the letter? With an empty schedule today, I would be surprised if Obama has even risen out of bed yet.

“Yeah but Nixon was doing an outstanding job as POTUS and the country was doing fine. OFudgePackula sucks at his job and the country is not doing well.”

Which is exactly my point; Fast & Furious alone will not bring down this regime. Certainly not with the regime receiving help from their propaganda organs in the media. This certainly helps, but the average American will vote his pocketbook and we have to keep that focus.

Yep. What we are seeing is desperation amplified by amateurism. Putin is probably in a Vodka drunken stupor laughing his A$$ off at this right now.

In future dictionaries, a photo of Obama will accompany the definition of the phrase “Peter principle”.

Holder had to retract info on Gunwalker. Didn’t know that.

Hey Holder, don’t stand too close to Obama. There’s a bus
coming down the street!
