Obama Asserts Executive Privilege Over Fast And Furious Fiasco
And those nasty Republicans just won't give up -
Rep. Darrell Issa said Wednesday that he is pressing ahead with a committee vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, despite an 11th-hour move by President Obama to exert executive privilege over the Fast and Furious documents at the heart of the dispute.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee was first informed of the president's decision to exert executive privilege in a letter Wednesday morning, shortly before the contempt vote was scheduled.
I'm sure any criticism of Obama pulling a Bush or a Nixon shall be deemed raciss.
Issa accused the Justice Department of trying to compel the committee to close its investigation in exchange for documents it hasn't yet seen. "I can't accept that deal. No other committee chairman would," he said.
Buy does that remind me of something. Like voting for something in order to know what is in it.
