If holder shows up in a limo with whitewal tires...I'm just sayin'
It is not too cynical. We already know that the DEA was (and may still be) laundering drug money from Mexican cartels.

Because it didn't start under the Bush administration. Holder retracted that bogus claim. Read the letter from the DOJ, here (2nd letter):

And watch this:
Obama and Holder not only knew about Fast and Furious, Obama's admin budgeted $10 million for it...

He's apparently hiding something that would make it even more certain!

Just another NRA ordered phony controversy that will fade awaay to the nothing that it is. But absent a legit issue, I suppose the GOP must. After all, they have to keep the RWNJ money coming in.

Careful. This would require what we use to call journalists to do their jobs without bias. Even after what's happened today on this, I guarantee a significant portion of the population doesn't know much or anything about this. The media sets the tone and content. Which is gay this and that lately, not things like Fast/Furious.

Even now, the networks are treating this as a side story, if that. If this were the Bush admin, it would be absolutely EVERYWHERE

My husband and I were just talking about this. I agree with you. Anytime a President uses his Executive Privilege it makes me wonder what he is trying to hide/protect. Can those papers be that damning that he has to hide them? What do y'all think??

From 7 years ago. Yet in more serious things, where people were killed, liberals are now singing a different tune.

Lets not forget, most didn't think this led to Obama necessarily, but his sudden actions now lead us to question just what Obama knows

What do some of you think is in these docs that is so damaging to Obama Admin that they feel they have to stonewall and essentially cover up?

Maybe Holder isn't as dumb as we all think and has some dirt on Obama that he's using to force Obama to protect him. The Clintons hand picked Holder so it snot like he was particularly close to Obama to begin with. They both answer to the same higher ups but that might be the extent of their relationship. Or maybe the Clintons want Holder to stay where he is and ordered Obama to buy him some time.
If it were anybody else, i'd feel some pity for him. Obama's getting slapped around seven ways to Sunday right now from all sides.

Let's put aside the fact that you don't give a damn about this whole thing.

What in your opinion, do you think they are trying to keep from getting out in the open? Honestly, think for a second, and try to put your political affiliations aside. Dont tell me nothing, because if it was nothing, then they wouldve complied 18 months ago. What do those documents tell us, that they are going this far to not allow them to see the light of day, at least not in an election year?
