TAPPER: The documents being blocked through executive privilege, are any of them to or from individuals in the White House, or are they all internal DOJ documents?

CARNEY: I don’t have a way to characterize the documents in question here. I can tell you that long ago the administration provided documentation about specific questions regarding officials at the White House and the national security staff. That was a long time ago, again — and which speaks to — it was last fall — speaks to how prolonged this political investigation has been ongoing.

The point I made earlier is that this is an assertion based on the absolute need for this president, as the steward of the executive branch — not just for his administration but for every administration going forward — to retain the separation of powers, to protect the capacity of the executive branch, to deliberate on these matters and to work independently and appropriately in response to these kind of inquires.

The issue here has been the operation known as Fast and Furious. And that operation is being thoroughly investigated by the inspector general, who has access to all these documents, including the ones that you’re asking about. And when it comes to the operation itself, everything has been provided to congressional investigators. And that is really the issues, isn’t it? It is, how did this operation come about? It originated in a field office during the previous administration. It was ended under this administration by this attorney general.

TAPPER: It began in fall 2009. The Operation Fast and Furious began –

CARNEY: The tactic began in the previous administration.

Napolitano is on Tape on C-Span in 2009 stating how they are trying to find out who is selling guns to Mexico,well if Bush was doing it, why didnt she say it was Bush then if it was started under Bush?

Isn't it amazing that the left, while blaming Bush, is not screaming for prosecutions of Bush and members of his administration? They did for every imaginary crime they could concoct while he was in office.

Isn't it interesting that they never mention that Wide Receiver was shut down in 2007? So, how did it carry over into 0baMao's regime when it was shut down two years before Jug Ears took office?
