Confront and Conceal.”
“Mr. Donilon, in effect, is the hero of the book, as well as the commenter of record on events,” wrote reviewer Tom Ricks.
The administration has strongly denied the leaks have come from the executive office.
“The notion that my White House would purposely release classified national security information is offensive. It’s wrong,” President Obama said earlier this month.
The letter to Holder comes the same week the GOP-led House is expected to vote on whether to hold him in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with subpoena requests to provide more documents regarding the Justice Department’s failed Fast and Furious gun-tracking operation.
The letter also states Holder’s decision to appoint two U.S. attorneys to investigate the apparent national security leaks doesn’t go far enough.
“You have an important role as a member of the president’s national security team, and no administration should be expected to investigate itself impartially on such a grave and sensitive matter in the midst of an election,” states the letter signed by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
“This administration cannot be trusted to investigate itself,” Sen John Cornyn, R-Texas, said during a Capitol Hill press conference Tuesday. “You cannot investigate yourself and not have a conflict of interest.”
signed by more than 30 Gop Senators? oh wow. me surrender..

Show some GUTS, Repubs! ENOUGH OF THIS ‘AFRAID TO BE CALLED ‘RACIST’ CRAP! YOUR FEAR OF NOT GETTING ELECTED IS KILLING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED HOW DESPERATE AMERICA IS FOR COURAGEOUS POLITICIANS!!! REMEMBER NOVEMBER 2010 !!!!!!
Not just the “Fast and Furious” cover-up, but now what is a very serious breach of national security coming from the inner circle of the White Hut.
And with a forthcoming rendition of the constitutionality of Obamacare, plus the stated objective to enforce laws on a selective basis as related to illegal aliens, it is hard to believe they can keep so many balls in the air at a time.
The month of June has been so very good for the now failing obama regime.
Don’t they wish they had a nice easy war to go off and fight? Oh, right. That’s another thing....
Yeah this important all right. But I am more interested in proescuting those responsible for F and F and seeing people go to jail.
Holder is going to be cited for contempt of Congress, and Obama has no interest in exposing the leakers.
This must be investigated and prosecuted. My outrage has NOTHING to do with politics and I would feel the same way if this had happened even once under Bush. The damage these continuous leaks have done go far beyond any other scandal in this administration.
These leaks have damaged our national security and eroded relationships with our allies. These leaks betray those who help us at great risks and those who fight the covert war on our behalf. These leaks demonstrate to our allies and best friends that we are not to be trusted. These leaks aid the efforts of our enemies to hurt us.
It takes many years, much blood, and many dedicated people to build the relationships that keep our nation safe. It takes billions of dollars too. These operations were among the most secret operations we have and somebody passed it to the NY Slimes.
Seriously? He’ll appoint some Communist stooge to string them along.
