our work is not complete, and we need the DoJ to cooperate

we are now on the 2nd IG, there has been no interim report...we and the American people need answers sooner not later

contempt today is not about whether we end the investigation or not

Wishful thinking. The Kenyan will slide right through this and the contempt charges against Holder will be a slap on the wrist.
The MSM is not going after Obama as they did Nixon and btw..I would rather have Nixon in the WH over Obommie the Commie.
Arrogant SOB’s!

Sounds like Obama is implicating himself in F&F to me.

That is correct! Now The White House is directly involved and cannot separate itself from the justice Department.

“”Executive Privilege” as it is intended solely to cover communications directly to and from the President”

This is an admission that the President knew and approved and that the proof is in the documents. Impeach them both.

This has left the Republicans running in circles, wringing their hands, screaming ‘what now?’ ‘What now’?

Not really. This is not a surprise. Issa has a game plan. It is rumored he already has the docs from a whistleblower.

Along with other restrictions, if the documents do not include Obama then there can be no executive privelege. By exerting executive privelege, Obama has now incriminated himself by saying he was directly involved in these communications.

As we all know, exec. privelege cannot be used to hid criminal activity. We know F&F is a criminal enterprise (murder of Brian Terry, specifically).

By my understanding, the President is now on the hook for authorizing / being more directly involved in Terry’s murder.

“This is a “Black Executive Pivelege” claim, which means something entirely different..............”

It applies only if you’re Holder or one of his “people”

So you are saying that Obama is admitting he personally knew?

Proof Obama is the one behind the illegal arming of criminal drug gangs.

The Obama Administration and the MSN are so corrupt, they make Putin’s Govt look honest.

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.

My only concern is that there isn't enough time to complete impeachment proceedings before November, so they will let him skate until he's out in January. Good riddance.

Now it’s really starting to sound like Watergate

I was thinking something similar. We now have the worst of all worlds in this administration: a combination of Carter and (now) Nixon.

Here's a different look at this.

Oblunder has now played into the realm of the consummate politician: Bill Clinton.

He knows Hillary should have won, he also knows where all the info is to sink any re-election chance for Oblunder. Expect more 'Deep Throat" type info to come out from that camp.

By citing EP, Oblunder has put himself ABOVE the law in a Congressional criminal investigation.

Nixon was forced to resign because he tried to do EXACTLY the same thing.

Oblunder was/is complicit in entire F&F affair, and Holder has been stonewalling to hide it.

If even a hint of Oblunder guilt comes to the surface, either he will get dumped for Hillary(possibly) or lose in the biggest landslide since Reagan/Mondale.

Mitt needs to keep his mouth shut about it, saying "Let the wheels of Justice have their day." It's not a political hammer until there is something to hammer on.
