(114 posts)If there wasn't anything in there that would make he or Obama look bad, I can't imagine he'd have a problem sharing it. The fact that he was ready to the other day, but then claimed privilege, is fishy. Scream conspiracy all you want, but Fast and Furious was a disaster, and this administration has to own up to it. And if they do, and don't try and sweep it away during an election year, I think it'll work out in their favor; unless there's a major screw up on their part.
It may not have been their initial idea, but they were in charge during most of it (Wide Reciever vs Fast and Furious) and you can't just blame it all on Bush. Holder is the top man, he gets to take the heat for things that happen under his watch, like it or not.
I don't buy that this is about voter intimidation either because whoever Obama replaced Holder with would follow the same track. I'm getting a little tired of all this voter intimidation paranoia as well, it's like buidling the case to explain the upcoming loss in November.
