The congressmen on the oversight committee know what is in the emails. Boehner also knows. These are, I think, UNCLASSIFIED, but not released. The administration can’t hide behind the classified notion. If Obama does not want to release the emails he would then have to go the executive privilege route. That would work for him, but only so far. Why keep an unclas message back? Sounds very suspicious and is usually interpreted that way even by the LIV’s.
If an executive privilege move is of the strong type, then that would mean that Obama was directly in the loop of the emails. If it is of the lesser type, between his underlings, then he treads on thin ice. The executive privilege thing worked so far in fast and furious, but even that one is still working its way through the court system. I read the other day that the judge who is deciding the case was not impressed by Holder’s arguments.
Something is going on here just beneath the surface and I’m eager to see what it is.
