Self Preservation: Obama Claims Executive Privilege Over Fast & Furious Documents

There is no end to the corruption displayed by the Obama administration and his cronies.

In a problematic and troubling move by the Obama administration, after a year and at the last minute, Obama has claimed executive privilege over the Fast & Furious documents that Congress had demanded from Eric Holder and the Justice Department.

Rep. Darrell Issa said Wednesday that they will press ahead with contempt of Congress vote against Attorney General Eric Holder, despite the idiotic move by Obama to make the documents off-limits.

“How can the President assert executive privilege if there was no White House involvement? How can the President exert executive privilege over documents he’s supposedly never seen? Is something very big being hidden to go to this extreme?” – Sen. Chuck Grassley

Eric Holder Belongs In Prison, not in the position of US Attorney General!

Issa Not Satisfied With Holder Fast & Furious ‘Briefing’ – Wants Documents – Contempt Vote Still On

Issa Not Satisfied With Holder Fast & Furious ‘Briefing’ – Wants Documents – Contempt Vote Still On

What is Eric Holder trying to hide? If he has nothing to hide, then why not hand over the documents that Congress requested from Holder’s Justice Department over a year ago?

Instead of handing over the documents needed by the investigation, Eric Holder said that they would ‘brief’ Congress on the contents of the documents, and not let Congress take possession of, or even look at the actual documents.

Unfortunately, Eric Holder cannot be trusted – this has been proven time and time again, so nobody in their right mind is going to accept more stalling tactics and stonewalling from the corrupt “Justice Department” and it’s ringleader Eric Holder with ‘briefings’. If that would have been enough, we would not be in this position. It’s time to put up or shut up and take the consequences. Either hand over the documents tonight, or face Contempt of Congress charges in the morning.

Everyone already knows what is in the documents, and Eric Holder has …

Republicans Agree to Negotiations With DOJ – May Prevent Eric Holder Contempt of Congress

Republicans Agree to Negotiations With DOJ - May Prevent Eric Holder Contempt of Congress

Republicans Agree to Negotiations With DOJ - May Prevent Eric Holder Contempt of Congress

Republicans have agreed, in theory, to negotiations with attorney general Eric Holder, if Eric Holder and Obama’s Justice Department hands over the 80,000 “Fast & Furious Gun Running Scandal & Coverup” documents that they are required to give to Congress and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

Until this point, Eric Holder has ignored the subpoena which demanded that the documents be produced, and has thumbed his nose at Congress, and has acted as though he is above the law and untouchable. (This is par for the course when Democrats are involved)

We assure him that this is not the case though. One way or another, Eric Holder definitely will be held accountable, as we will put pressure on all members of Congress to hold Eric Holder in contempt, should he not ‘cough up’ ALL of the requested and required documents.

The bottom line for Eric Holder: America demands that Eric Holder produce ALL required documents, or face contempt of Congress charges!

Beginning of the End for Holder: AG Eric Holder Contempt of Congress Vote Coming Next Week

It’s about time that the Republicans hold Obama’s corrupt obstructionist Attorney General Eric Holder accountable for his contempt of Congress!

We feel that the Contempt of Congress vote coming next week against Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder, will mark the beginning of the end of Holder’s time as Attorney General. The United States should celebrate when the most corrupt racist partisan obstructionist Attorney General in our nation’s history is in our rear view mirror!

CBS News has learned the House Oversight Committee will vote next week on whether to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress. It’s the fourth time in 30 years that Congress has launched a contempt action against an executive branch member.

This time, the dispute stems from Holder failing to turn over documents subpoenaed on October 12, 2011 in the Fast and Furious “gunwalking” investigation.

The Justice Department has maintained it has cooperated fully with the congressional investigation, turning over tens of thousands of documents and having Holder testify to Congress on the topic at least eight times.

However, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., says

Obama Admin’s AG Eric Holder Continues Ignoring 2011 Subpoena – Hides Details of Fast & Furious Scandal & Cover-Up

Obama Admin's AG Eric Holder Continue Ignoring 2011 Subpoena to Hide Details of Fast & Furious Scandal & Cover-Up

Obama Admin's AG Eric Holder Continue Ignoring 2011 Subpoena to Hide Details of Fast & Furious Scandal & Cover-Up

Eric Holder continues to ignore the 2011 subpoena aimed at getting to the bottom of Obama and Eric Holder’s Fast & Furious Gun-Running Scandal and subsequent cover-up. Disregarding a federal subpoena is something that you or I would have been thrown in prison for long ago, but Eric Holder feels that he is above the law, and cannot be held accountable for the crimes they have committed, or let be committed with their full knowledge and approval.

Eric Holder and the Justice Department were supposed to be handing over all documents pertaining to the Fast & Furious Gun Running Scandal & Coverup, but they have not released any documents that could help the investigation, or shed light on how Obama’s Justice Department allowed thousands of high-powered, fully automatic assault rifles to be sold to criminals, and then never tracked the illegally sold firearms. “Nothing has come from your department, not a shred of paper” Issa to Holder

Obama Admin Reclassifies Normal Jobs as “Green Jobs” To Cover-Up Failures & Wasteful Spending

Obama Admin Reclassifies Normal Jobs as "Green Jobs" To Cover-Up Failures & Wasteful Spending

The ultra-corrupt Obama administration is lying about “Green Jobs”, for political gain, straight to the face of the American People.

In order to try and cover-up the failure of their fiscal policies, and the wasteful spending of billions of taxpayer dollars, the Obama administration has started reclassifying jobs, like college professor and diesel mechanic, to make them appear in paperwork to be “Green Jobs”.

The Obama administration and the Democrat Culture of Corruption and Waste are desperate to show that their federal stimulus programs created alternative-energy jobs, when in fact Obama’s policies and stimulus programs were, and still are a complete failure that has actually destroyed many companies and took away many people’s jobs.

The Obama administration is manipulating how it reports and provides information about U.S jobs — in some cases for “clearly political reasons” — the chairman of the GOP-led House oversight committee said Wednesday.

GOP Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, made the assertion during a

AG Holder Abruptly Ends Press Conference After Dodging Fast & Furious Questions

Attorney General Eric Holder dodged questions, and then abruptly ended a news conference, after being confronted with a question regarding the Obama administration’s Fast and Furious Gun-Running Scandal, and the impending subpoenas Congressional investigators will most likely send off to Mr. Holder today.

Eric Holder claims that memos sent to him are routinely read by someone else in his staff, and not by Eric Holder.

We want to know how and why these important memos, which were addressed to Eric Holder, were not read by the Attorney General?
This was most likely done, so they can claim ignorance, which in Eric Holder’s case is a definite understatement.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) discusses Attorney General Eric Holder’s claim that he had no prior knowledge of Operation Fast and Furious, part of an anti-gun initiative known as “Project Gunrunner.” The initiative allowed thousands of weapons to be purchased by “straw buyers” in Arizona and Texas and later “walked” unchecked to drug smugglers in Mexico. At least three of those weapons, including two AK-47 assault rifles, later were found at the site of …

ATF Manager: White House Knew About ‘Fast and Furious’ Gun Trafficking Scheme

No wonder why we have started receiving and reading reports about the Obama administration intimidating witnesses into not testifying during the investigation into their ‘Fast and Furious’ gun trafficking scheme. The ultra-corrupt Obama administration probably just didn’t want it to come out that they knew about the gun trafficking scheme, and did absolutely nothing to stop criminals from using the ATF’s guns in crimes in the U.S. and Mexico.

The Obama administration should be held responsible for the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry!

At a lengthy hearing on ATF’s controversial gunwalking operation today, a key ATF manager told Congress he discussed the case with a White House National Security staffer as early as September 2010. The communications were between ATF Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix office, Bill Newell, and White House National Security Director for North America Kevin O’Reilly. Newell said the two are longtime friends. The content of what Newell shared with O’Reilly is unclear and wasn’t fully explored at the hearing.

It’s the first time anyone has publicly stated that a White House
