So are you saying that somewhere in there is evidence that Obama had some involvement, and that whatever it was is impeachable? HOGWASH. Holder would have asserted executive privilege himself, except for the fact that Ronald Reagan said that any claim of executive privilege had to be authorized by the White House. That's the only reason Obama has to be involved. Issa's claim that the fact that Obama has asserted executive privilege shows he's involved is crazy, and ignores the legal precedents set ever since Reagan was in office.
Hate Obama for ObamaCare; I won't (can't) defend him there. I agree with the Supreme Court's decision that it's Constitutional, but I also agree that, as Roberts all but came out and said when rendering the decision, it's BAD POLICY. But what's going on now over Fast & Furious is nothing but Republicans pandering to their base, and it's disgusting. It proves that they're more interested in slinging mud than in doing the work of the people.
