Sharyl Attkisson touted 'Fast and Furious' whistleblower John Dodson as "a rare example, especially amid the Obama administration's war on leaks" during a segment on Monday's CBS This Morning. Attkisson, whose reporting on the arms trafficking scandal won CBS a Edward R. Murrow Award, spotlighted the ATF senior agent's new book on "the inside story of why he went public to expose the government's false denials about its gunwalking secrets."

The correspondent also pointed out how "there's still a court battle over the 'Fast and Furious' documents that President Obama is withholding from Congress under executive privilege". She also featured a clip from Dodson where he emphasized that this is an ongoing controversy that deserves more media attention:

The other Fast & Furious the media is ignoring...

I didn’t think Obummer played any (official, known) role in Fast & Furious.

So how does he justify using “executive privilege” to protect communications that he never had?

Impeach Now.

Thanks Hotlanta Mike.

An independent press would have been pushing for that answer all this time. And the lawsuit against Obama to show just cause why executive privilege is warranted is continuing.
