Obama uses executive privilege to shield Holder from contempt charges. Think Holder gave Obama an ultimatum threatening to spill the beans on him, telling him in effect, "If I go down I'm taking you with me?"

I say it's a "two-for-one sale." Let's get them both.

Holder has been witness to many Obama tosses under the bus. and he doesn't want to take the bullet, (figuretive comment) for Obie.

I voted no because BHO knows he would be going down with him if he didn't. He knew all about it.

Obama and Holder said,they knew nothing about Fast and furious.I believe Obama
gave executive privilege because what their requesting may show Obama and Holder
held meetings on the subject.Which would prove they are both lying.

I hope he did, because eventually he will follow through on a threat like that.

Yes, they are both guilty as hell and the lame stream media has finally been forced to talk about it, even though they gave a warped version. They also didn't say what the real reason was for Obama and Holder smuggling guns to the Mexican drug cartels, which was to destroy the 2nd amendment. .

Actually...he's trying to run a big CYA play against Congress.... He probably doesn't give a rats patootie about holder....but he wants t be re-elected. He would have done better to hang Holder and take the hit like Kennedy did over the Bay of Pigs.....

They are both guilty as sin and EVERYONE knows it. The fact that EVERYONE knows it and is still in question is absurd. Holder didn't even need to 'axe' Obama, Obama was there all along.

So much for transparency. I hope they finally hold both their feet to the fire.

It's what politicians do because they're all liars. Remember when Bush gave his 9/11 deposition under the terms that he wasn't under oath? Remember when Clinton lied about Lewinsky? Iranian Contra scandal? Watergate? They all lie!

He might have. Or he might have said, "Please, save my ***!"

I say that Holder gave an ultimatum to Speaker John Boehner: "Stop this contempt business, or I'll give these pictures to your wife!" Pictures of all the women Boehner has known. (I am reliably informed that Boehner is a "ladies man...or maybe just a d****d fool.")

Only the whistleblowers shamed Boehner into letting Issa do something--anything.

Frankly, Boehner should get out of the way, and let someone else, someone with a little ambition, investigate whether Obama is even an NBC.

That's what it seems like. Obama isn't the first to cover up a bad mistake but if we let him get away with it they will only do it more often, put more innocent lives in danger. When will we as a country learn that politicians can not be trusted, they have to be constantly audited for lies and cover ups?

No honor among thieves. Holder told Obama, "F that, I'm not going down with it by myself. If I fall, I'm taking you with me."
