Darrel Issa and his House colleagues finding Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for withholding information about "Fast and Furious."
Clearly these efforts are politically motivated, tasty soundbites for election year. But - why should Holder and Obama be exerting Executive Privilege as grounds for not explaining why FnF was providing weapons to Mexican drugs dealers, with the end result they were used to murder Brian Terry as he patrolled the US-Mexico border?
FnF seems like a hair-brained scheme to me and unless there are critical security issues involved, the American people, not to mention Brian Terry's family, deserve an explanation of why our tax dollars were used in this fashion.
I am currently working in AZ where this is a high-profile issue, so maybe my view is biased, but it looks to me like Executive Privilege is being exerted in order to hide misdeeds.
Am I missing something?
