Judge Napolitano on ‘Fast and Furious’ Documents: Executive Privilege Only Applies If the President Was Personally Involved

Executive privilege, in its definition, provides protection over communications with the president himself, according to the judge. The letter sent by Eric Holder requesting executive privilege does not detail a discussion with the president, but Judge Napolitano said, “The implication is there.”

“If the attorney general sat down and discussed it with the president, he probably doesn’t want the Congress and the public to know that,” Napolitano said.


Well Obama, you just admitted to participating in the murder of 200+ people in Mexico, 2 Americans and supplying weapons to a bunch of terrorists groups.

Time to get impeached and sent to Guantanamo if not outright executed for treason.

The SCOTUS decisions on Arizona's 1070 legislation and Obamacare are imminent. 'Fast and Furious' will get brushed aside and we'll be lucky to find a 2 paragraph article on Page 12 of the local newspaper about it going forward. There will be secret negotiations between the republicans and the AG/White House and it will be deemed to sensitive to national security to divulge to the general public. Holder will step down next January to spend more time with the family.

This is election year for every single member of the House of Representatives. Boehner stuck his neck out when he allowed the committee to take up the contempt matter. One third of the senators are up for re-election. The stench from Watergate did not exactly help Gerald Ford in 1976. I doubt that contempt hearings will be quietly be yawned away, especially since Obama just sauntered onto the rodent glue board.

Gerald Ford was Nixon's VP; hardly equivalent to the H of R voting contempt.

Well, this is a nice circle jerk. EP's only apply if he was involved....and now we all have the proof he was in fact involved.

Gerald Ford was appointed Nixon's 2nd VP after Spiro Agnew was forced out for corruption just as Watergate started heating up. Jimmy Carter represented a clean break from anyone associated with Nixon.

As far as I can tell there is no such thing as executive privilege, only presidential privilege.

Correct... for the American Public which was fully informed, by the MSM, on his peanut farming activities, and slightly less-informed on his connections to Rockerfeller, and Brzezinski, who'd both been talking about Carter as a presidential candidate as early as 1970.

Oh, and let's not forget his wonderful administration:

Cyrus Vance, Secretary of State - TLC
Brzezinski, National Security Advisor - TLC
W. Michael Blumenthal, Secretary of Treasury - TLC
Harold Brown, Secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs - TLC
Warren Christopher, Deputy Secretary of State - TLC
Richard N. Cooper, Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs - TLC
Andrew Young, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations - TLC
C. Fred Bergsten, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for International Economic Affairs - TLC

Yes, Carter was a clean break from Nixon. Why do you think Nixon was sacked? Or do you really believe a story painted for you by Hoffman and Redford?

March 24th 2009 Youtube Video Pulled ( Fast and Furious )
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news....

Youtube Video of Announcement of Operation Fast and Furious program pulled down by Youtube and labeled PRIVATE.
The March 24th Video showing Robt. Gibbs , Janet Napolitano and the Deputy Attorney Gen. Describing the Operation Gun Runner program aka Fast and Furious has now been Labeled PRIVATE and can not be readily viewed by the gen. public any longer . I viewed this Vid as recently as two days ago and booked marked it for future use but can no longer pull it up.


***************************
UPDATE: reason it was pulled! The guy who posted it to YouTube realized that it was talking about Operation Gunrunner, not "gun walking". I guess there's still some honesty out there...

Proof Obama and Holder knew about gun walking in 2009? Unfortunately, NO.

My video is wrong and I apologize for that. What Ogden and Napolitano in my video were referring to was gun-running, not gun-walking. I mistakenly conflated the two of them. Gun-Walking to be clear is the weapons we allowed into Mexico that were never traced – the 2k weapons that turned up into the hands of the Cartel, one of which was used in Brian Terry’s death.

While I’m sure that the announcement in March 2009 was likely the beginning of Fast and Furious under the guise of Project GunRunner, this video below doesn’t prove that and thus I have deleted it.

I’ll try harder to not conflate these two in the future.

If it's true that "assault weapons" are "weapons of war" and don't belong on the streets of America, why do the police need them? Who are the police at war with?

Reason: UPDATE: reason it was pulled!
