I am always amazed at the stupefying majesty of Republican Congressional hypocrisy. The President reluctantly envokes Executive Privilage over the release of candid discussions between the White House and Justice Department officials briefings of the ATF’s ” Fast and Furious ” operation.
Even after White House officials reluctantly agree to turn over most of the relevant documents the House Oversight Committee requested, Chairman Darrell Issa - Rep. California decided to move ahead with a Contempt of Congress vote. This is an outrageous abuse of congressional authority under it’s current leadership.
The documents that the committee says are needed are not from the ATF’s unchecked ” Fast and Furious ” program. This program which started under George Bush was ordered stopped under the current administration.
The Justice Department has reviewed 140,000 documents and turned over 7,600 documents to the Congressional Oversight Committee. The Attorney General himself has testified before the committee several times.
Instead of hauling the ATF director who developed and ran the program with out informing the US Attorney Generals Office before the COC and vote to hold him in contempt of congress, the committee has decided to start a witch hunt and malign the Attorney Generals reputation. The Chairman and the Republican members have a transparent goal and that is to score political points and damage the Presidency.
This Dog won’t hunt Y’all!!
