Scandal: The president illegally asserts executive privilege to protect an attorney general who's either a clueless political hack, malevolent or both, withholding answers of who is responsible for a Border Patrol agent's death.

President Obama's contempt for the rule of law hit a new low when, on the eve of a vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, he granted his AG's 11th-hour request to hide sought-after documents on Operation Fast and Furious under the cover of executive privilege.

“Didn’t zero return political donations to a drug cartel recently?”

How do you return money to a drug cartel? Do you like, cut them a check? Drop off a suitcase of gold bullion?

But in all honesty, I think Obama and Holder are hiding the cover-up. They knew, denied it, and now the coverup is what they’re hiding. Remember, at the time the weapons were “walking”, there was a coordinated gun control propaganda campaign by the dems that American guns were causing all the violence in Mexico. Obama was cynically conducting a covert gun-running operation for anti-2nd Amendment political gain. They murderously spent Mexican and American lives to further a domestic political agenda. Create a crisis and never let a crisis go to waste. The problem was that an agent got killed and they had to shut things down. That’s what I think.

>The problem was that an agent got killed and they had to shut things down. That’s what I think.<

The problem was everyone FOUND OUT that an agent got killed.

This would probably still be happening no matter how many people got killed IF they could have kept it quiet.

We all know these people don’t really care who dies in the name of “progressivism”.

Oh these people are disgusting.

As for returning money to a drug cartel... I have no idea.

They probably have lawyers and accountants just like legit businesses-maybe a check?
