And Obama is trying to protect this tool, too? Both of them seem to think they're above the law. November can't come fast enough.

Yeah, I am not sure who is protecting who here. Hopefully the both go down for this.

First, this thread is about the current administration....so let's stick to that.

Second, this was supposed to be a transparent White House....why the need To lie.... Fact is the lie didn't work and now congress is being more aggressive. Even some some in the media are getting interest. Sharyl Attkisson was the only person covering this for a while. So NOW since the lie didn't work they have to go into cover up mode. It's disgusting.

Read the memo. It states no where the reason for withholding documents for Congressional review that they are requesting. Memo does not state it's a national security concern, military concern, or sensitive diplomatic concerns that the President has full knowledge of and have discussed with people internally. Issuing an Executive Privilege means the White House does not want others to divulge because of such sensitive issues. But the problem is that Obama specifically admitted to an on air interview with a Univision reporter in March 2011 said that he has no knowledge about the F&F and that he never authorized it yet the WH issued an Executive Privilege for Holder. Why is the White House involved? This is between Congress and the Dept of Justice...not with the White House since Obama specifically stated in an interview that he has no knowledge of F&F and that he never authorized F&F. Either the WH is lying or attempting a cover up on Holder's behalf.

Again, why is the White House involved when it has all along been between the DOJ and Congress? What are they trying to hide?

Yeah, but what's interesting is what Obama said in 2007 on attacking Bush's E.P. use as way to hide behind it.

The investigation has been done, the hearings have been held and the facts are out. If you choose not to accept them that is your choice,

what are the facts then?
 
One fact that has come out that no one seems to notice is that they've already been caught in lies about Fast and Furious, and even admitted it. But it's overlooked.

(See post #16.)

Maybe they're trying to cover their own asses, too, by throwing Holder under the bus. Who knows if they have connection with the Mexican govt and they knew about this. Maybe not and the WH is attempting to prevent angering or embarrassing the Mexican govt. Dunno. Need to see those papers first.

Mexico's General Attorney Morales mentioned that she learned about the operation from the news media. She also believes that Obama may be involved, but demands the answers. Last year, she asked the US government to extradite suspects of providing guns to drug cartels.

Holder said the same thing early on in the F&F investigation. On May 3, 2011 at the House Judiciary Committee:

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) used asked Holder when first knew about the controversial Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) operation known as "Fast and Furious." Though documents indicate Fast and Furious was started in 2009, Holder told Congress he only learned of it a "few weeks" ago.

But I agree that it is more likely that the Mexican govt never knew about this until the news broke out.
