"You are a bad witness": Why Darrell (The Criminal) Issa helps the Obama's reelection

[bigrebnc1775]

For Obama, the political costs of the executive privilege showdown are obvious: In an election year, there’s little upside to him being tied more closely to a failed gun-smuggling investigation that may have led to the death of at least one U.S. law enforcement agent and hundreds of killings in Mexico. The executive privilege claim also undercuts his promises to run the most transparent administration in history and could open him to claims of hypocrisy and coverup.

F&F is one more effort by the right to find an issue to gain traction and influence the Novemeber election. It is pitiful that the Republican Party continues to legitimize elected officials and others on the fringe of the once and no longer Grand Olde Party.

Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Darrall Issa, Glen Beck, Dick & Daughter Cheney, Dick Armey, the Kock Brothers, et al are the greater threat to our democratic principles as they provide aid and comfort to our major competitors - Russia and China - by their continuing efforts to pit Americans v. Americans and remake our nation into a Plutocracy.

Would you like to explain in detail how you know F&F is a cover up? Do you have personal knowledge, facts, times, dates, example, names? Or are you a parrot, simply repeating a story told by those seeking an issue for political advantage?

the fact that we don't have all of the above and that the ag refuses to release the information proves it's a cover up not to mention the emergency "executive privilege"

Well there is this Cspan tape from March of 2009 that bigreb posted yesterday!!

Pay particular attention to what he says at 16:57 and forward. BTW, Robert Gibbs is front and center in all of this.

You beat me to it.
Once obama invoked executive privilege when it was first said he did not have any knowledge about fast and the furious now becomes a cover up.

Two interesting points; this is the first time Obama has used executive privilege compared to Bush, Clinton, and Reagan who used it many more times. What I find the most humorous about this whole thing though, is that we are seeing a case in which conservatives and Republicans are trying to convince us that gun control would have prevented someone's death. Imagine that? If controlling the access of guns would have saved Brian Terry's life, imagine how we could save between 5000 to 10,000 lives per year if we had real gun control in place.

Bottom line on this is that it is a BS from our politicians. If McCain had won, F&F would almost certainly have gone forward and then the Dems would be screaming about how the McCain administration was hiding something. And don't tell me McCain would never have allowed such a program; these programs are run without any regard to political affiliation.

 

[Dick Tuck]

Issa has not a shred of evidence that Holder committed any wrongdoing. Issa is trying to get rid of Holder, because Holder is upholding the voting rights laws, and not allowing right wing voter suppression of minorities, which is criminal, to go unchecked.

Issa is a pig and a hack.

The point is moot on who used executive privilege and how many times it was used. The point is obama used it for something he was not supposed to have any knowledge of. The executive privilege is used to protect any information that the president has that would harm national security. It can't be used for the government.

OMG a Pelosi nut case!! Whoa what a hysterical piece of crap this is. hahahahahahaha, please make it stop!!

Issa is Holder's worst nightmare, he's holding him to the fire for not telling the truth. Guess what, no one is above the law, not even Holder or Obama. Fer real.

So says Nancy Pelosi.

Even the democrats are running from that one. Although, democrats are generally running from obama anyway.

This exchange is great..

Issa]Issa to AG Holder: Who Is Responsible for Operation Fast & Furious? - YouTube to AG Holder: Who Is Responsible for Operation Fast & Furious? - YouTube

Issa comes off as ignorant to the law, procedure, and precedent.

He also comes off as a petulant "Grand Inquistor". He might as well as held a whip in his hand and kept asking Holder, "What is your name?"
