Obama asserts executive priviledge over fast and furious documents

[oreo]

He just stepped into a big pile of poop!

This has hit the media like a nuclear bomb went off at the White House--and it's certainly not going to go away anytime soon.

Here we have a President who's administration LEAKS National Security information to the media in an effort to prop him up as a "tough guy".

Then--after an 18 month investigation into Fast n Furious--the very DAY that Eric Holder was going to be held in contempt of congress for not releasing specific documents to congress--Obama covers his & Holders ass with executive privilege.

This isn't going to go well for Obama.

Holly cow. 44 pages in a few hours. Was he held in contempt today?

Apparently...YES.

Yeah--they held Holder in contempt anyway---

A Republican-run House committee voted today to cite Attorney General Eric Holder for contempt after President Obama asserted executive privilege over documents in the "Fast and Furious" operation.

Holder's Justice Department requested that Obama claim the privilege and withhold documents concerning the botched gun-smuggling operation and the death of a U.S. border agent.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted along party lines to recommend that the full House cite Holder for contempt, after a full day of sniping between folks on Capitol Hill and in the White House.

The "decision to invoke executive privilege implies that White House officials were either involved in the Fast and Furious operation or the cover-up that followed," said Michael Steel, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. "The administration has always insisted that wasn't the case. Were they lying, or are they now bending the law to hide the truth?"

Obama claims executive privilege; Holder held in contempt

Probably still just running cover for Bush. He's been doing that since day one.

Point of order for the idiots who are claiming he's been held in contempt. The panel voted to put him up for a vote in the House. The house still has to vote on it. Which will be a party-line vote and this will all be a giant waste of taxpayer money that no one on the Right will care about because taxes are only to be considered sacred if they're paying for things like wars and witch hunts. Medicine and food for the poor can fuck themselves.

BUSH is out of the picture. Pay attention.

Holder said Bush had NOTHING to do with this.

Go back to molesting collies or whatever it is that you do, DERP.

What cover? Operation "Wide Receiver" was shut down in '07 when they determined it wasn't working. "Fast and Furious" started in '09.

This one is all Obama's...

don't you love how when the democratic committees pull this its classified as a 'search for the truth', but when a gop committee does its a witch hunt or over reach?

Yikes.

Another political calculation here, no doubt. He's betting the <a class="inlineAdmedialink" href="#">general</a> public won't pay attention.

Jobs are more important

Jobs didn't seem to be a problem in 2009

No, I really don't.

And I don't like it when Republicans do it.

It's not about jobs, its about changing the subject.

Fast and Furious? Where have I heard that name before? I seem to remember a Bush Operation started in 2006 named Fast and Furious. Coincidence?
