Not a word about Executive Privilege for more than a year; all of a sudden, it appears. My understanding is that Issa has all the goods already, just wanted to give Holder a chance to hang himself.

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.

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.

Judge Napolitano says that this is not an appropriate venue for "Executive Privilege" as it is intended solely to cover communications directly to and from the President and only on subjects of national security and defense.

Republicans are proceeding with Contempt of Congress charges.

No it sounds Nixonian and this was the watermark which was the beginning of the end of Nixon. I say the House has a contempt vote and put Obuggery on it as well.

Yep. He's just admitted that Obama knew about this all along. And they'll lose on the Privilege claim. It can NOT be used to cover up criminal activity.

Romney needs to run,not walk, to pound Bozo over this move! And, needs to keep pounding him with this, along with everything else, until November.

“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.
