“Sounds like a dictator in the WH” I don’t know about the “tater” part, but there damn sure is a “dick” in the WH; and an ugly wookie too!

But if nothing else, this move shows that Obama is involved in this up to his squinty little eyeballs.

Yep. That was my reaction. It means the program actually went to the highest levels of the administration; not just within the DOJ.

The Mittster can turn this into a game winner if he plays his cards right.

The Zero has just set himself up for a takedown.

This is not the proper use of EP. I know Obama and Holder don’t care.

Napalitano is correct. This is used under the understanding for national security matters. Mind you this is the same administration that openly leaks classified information to the press to make themselves look tough for election season.

“White House Has Asserted Executive Privilege”

“...just wanted to give Holder a chance to hang himself.”

More than just Holder have painted themselves in a corner.

Methinks MSM journalists will smell blood in the water. They may be dyed in the wool leftists, but their self interest will trump ideology because Honor, Virtue and Loyalty are not on the top of their list.

One or more out there are are thinking Pulitzer. “Woodward & Bernstein made a 40 year industry from Watergate. Why can’t I cash in on this?”

Big big mistake. For one thing, this isn’t an issue for executive privilege and next thing is that Obama has played right into the issue of his much vaunted “transparency.”

This was truly a stupid move on his part.

Smells like an Impeachable offense.

Not that I think the House GOP "leadership" has the stones for that fight this close to an election cycle.

Effing cowards.

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.

But this is no ordinary executive privelge claim. This is a "Black Executive Pivelege" claim, which means something entirely different..............

It IS appropriate (for Obama that is).

Because the communication(s) directly linked to the top executive.
