DEVELOPING ...
President Obama has granted an 11th-hour request by Attorney General Eric Holder to exert executive privilege over Fast and Furious documents, a last-minute maneuver that appears unlikely to head off a contempt vote against Holder by Republicans in the House.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is expected to forge ahead with its meeting on the contempt resolution anyway.

So much for the “I Knew Nothing” position. EP means the administration (Bammy and Holdit) knew all along.
Just remember, Barack Obama leaked classified national security secrets in the War on Terror while at the same time he used executive privilege to suppress damning evidence against his administration in the Fast and Furious investigation.
You think they are still only hiding documents and not shredding them?
Hillary is awaiting to be named VP and the succeed Obama after impeachment in 2013.
Liberals will no longer be able to bring up Watergate and Nixon without having to play defense on Fast and Furious and Obama. This is no small matter.
Obama will not throw Holder under the bus because he has now tacitly admitted he's in on this scandal, and not just the coverup. This will be Obama's undoing, if not that of the Democratic Party. Imagine if you're say, Tim Kaine, running for Senate in Virginia. Kaine's support for Obama was already a problem for him, now he must disavow his support, past and present, or drop out of the race. This scenario will be played out in the near future in all political arenas, including Congress.
This administration now fits the description "Dead Man Walking".
Holder lied to Congress. Give him the cell they prepared for Roger Clemens.
This is Watergate times a million and makes Watergate look like a parking ticket . It’s obvious the president is involved ,, if not directly to the Fast & Furious program but certainly to a full blown cover up of the program .
You know, if push comes to shove, Obama will throw Holder under the bus. When it comes to saving the Annointed One’s azz, anyone and everyone is expendable.
good point.
It’s not just liberal politicians on the ash heap of history. The liberal media establishment has been exposed as the partisan childish hacks they are.
Selectively editing tapes to shape public opinion. Ignoring Fast and Furious for years. They covered up for this swinehound. Rathergate was but the tip of the iceberg.
The nightly news is nothing but a collapsed tower of babel now.
Cranky Cronkite: “The election has now become unwinable...”
I'm sure they're doing some shredding, and destroying some hard drives. I'm not sure it matters.
The MSM will attempt to shill for them, but that won't matter either. The Obama administration has now become an embarrassment to their supporters, and an existential threat to all Dem Party office-holders.
This is a game changer.
What makes this a Constitutional crisis?
The Constitution provides a clear and simple mechanism for Congress, acting on its own authority (with the participation of Mr. Chief Justice Roberts) to resolve this problem.
It's not the Constitution that is in crisis.
Dick Tater....
Or the GOP might find a way to prevent him losing, and impeaching him now would make his reelection more likely, IMO.
Barack Milhous Obama.
e-mails might be on an e-mail server. Might not be able to shred their hard drives without losing stuff they want to keep.
This administration now fits the description “Dead Man Walking”.
And that my friends is an extremely dangerous situation. There is nothing more dangerous than a rabid and crazed animal that is cornered and believes he has nothing to loose. That animal will strike out from desperation and a sense of panic......against all odds.
Congress does not have the b**ls to do anything because they are all corrupt and afraid of what is in their own closets. The next few weeks to months should be very interesting indeed as we await some slight of hand or dog waging event in an attempt to distract everyone away from this and other issues attached to this administration.
God help our country.
This coming election is truly our last chance to save our nation and our way of life. I pray that we do the right thing.
The best ammunition (no pun intended) yet to support a demand for a special prosecutor.
Or go straight to perjury.
