Republicans on the committee believe Holder prepared a document for Obama describing all about F£F and that is why they are withholding the documents. Whether Obama actually saw the document is the question.
My guess is, YES, he knew all about it!
Remember, the committee already has some of the withheld documents given to them by whistleblowers. Holder and Obama don’t know what documents the committee possess.

A key point for sure. Issa more than likely has a good paper trail, and confirmation by multiple sources, of key events along with the associated communications that reveals who was in the decision loop.
I believe such a document would be entitled to executive privilege in this case.
Only an impeachment trial could demand it perhaps.
The odd thing about this is that the DOJ refused to even respond with a “privilege log’ stating what documents they believed privileged. That shows hardcore coverup- a ‘privilege log’ is SOP in these disputes.
