Obama Exerts “Executive Privilege” For F&F Docs
So, to do this doesn’t that mean that he did in fact know about this earlier than he has indicated?
Otherwise how does a DOJ operation fall under this?
Oh, and the House should immediately vote to de-fund the DOJ’s budget.
UPDATE: God bless Drudge
The Way Back Machine is a bitch, ain’t it?
UPDATE: Great minds think alike
““The assertion of executive privilege raises monumental questions,” Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley said in a statement released Wednesday shortly after the president’s move. “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? The contempt citation is an important procedural mechanism in our system of checks and balances. The questions from Congress go to determining what happened in a disastrous government program for accountability and so that it’s never repeated again.”
What did the president know and when did he know it.

I’ma steal my own Twitter joke:
Actual national defense and state secrets (like cyber warfare) = “Blab to NYT.” Lying or bypassing Congress/Constitution = “Executive Privilege.”
Ghetto trash president covers for mass murder. Al Capone would be proud.
And my leftarded friends on Facebook still defend Ozero’s administration by blurting the “Bush did it too!” defense. It is amusing (and frightening) that liberals have no sense of shame and are incapable of using logic.
