The Fortune magazine article is based on Ms. Eban's opinion. Hardly anyone in the administration denies the allegations that the ATF allowed the guns to be shipped to Mexico. As a matter of fact even Obama spokespeople and democrats acknowledge that the program was a complete and abject failure and some ATF agents were fired. The question remains why the A.G. refuses to comply with the congressional subpoena as he is required to by law.
1. Because there are "other" ongoing investigations.
2. President Obama invoked Executive Privilege (as Bush did SIX times).
If Obama was not involved in any way shape or form with any part of Operation: Fast and Furious then why oh why would dear leader need to invoke EP?
Of course Obama has the right under certain circumstances to invoke Executive Privilege.
But why did he?
You see that's the question. That's the real issue. As Sen. Grassley put it, it has to be frivolous or it means Obama's involved.
Pandora's box.
