Eric Holder's Wife Is Granted Executive Privilege in Fast and Furious

Scandal: Documents obtained by a government watchdog group list emails between the attorney general and his wife regarding a White House statement on the "gun walking" scandal the White House wants kept secret.

The release of the government's Vaughn Index of documents that the administration withheld from the House Oversight Committee's investigation of Fast and Furious may not be the October surprise that the Obama administration hoped for. It raises more questions than it answers and shows the absurd extent of the administration's cover-up.

On July 18, U.S. District Court Judge John Bates ordered the Justice Department to produce, in response to a lawsuit by the government watchdog group Judicial Watch, its Vaughn Index of withheld Fast and Furious documents by Oct. 22. The DOJ had already had enough time to produce it, Bates said in denying a request to delay its release until after the Nov. 4 elections.

In a Vaughn Index, the government must list each withheld document, state the statutory exemption claimed for it and explain how the disclosure of each document would damage the governmental interests asserted by the exemption.

So essentially all the president has to do is grant executive privilege to any citizen he likes, and they don’t have to testify against him or his administration.

Gosh, come back Richard Nixon, all is forgiven!!!!

Bring in the courts to have them released - Obama has lost his mystique and they may do the right thing.

Who needs advice and consent when anyone can be a presidential adviser?
