Who exactly is this administration trying to protect?

Obama and his corrupt administration will go down. They take care of their own. Birds of a feather.

there own...

My guess would be their own sorry hides.

I watched a little of PMSNBC earlier this evening to see what kind of spin they would put on this Contempt of Congress on Holder and obama's Executive Privilege thingy. Granted I couldn't listen for long...I was getting nauseous.

In any case they were trying real hard to sweep it under the rug.
But you have to wonder why at just the last minute obama covers Holder's butt. Just what is in those files the American people deserve to see? You know, the files that Holder has been stalling to put out there for this so-called 'transparent' administration, the ones subpoenaed since last October? What is obama hiding for Holder?

In any case whether obama knew anything about F&F; or not, he just made himself an accessory to the crime.

My guess one of many against the country.
