Obama asserts executive privilege in Holder case 20 Jun 2012 President Barack Obama asserted executive privilege Wednesday to withhold documents on a ‘gun-smuggling’ probe, sharpening a battle between the White House and Congress over efforts to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt. The claim of executive privilege, announced in a letter from Holder’s deputy to Representative [hypocrite] Darrell Issa, came on the day Issa chaired a House deliberation on whether to hold Holder in contempt over failure to hand over sufficient documents related to a flawed program that saw guns knowingly smuggled across the border to Mexico. The program [which began under the Bush regime and was stopped by Eric Holder] called “Fast and Furious” was a botched government effort to track arms flows into Mexico, and Republicans have seized on trying to determine exactly when Holder knew of the program destroy an African American Attorney General.
