Issa subpoenas WH.... shows signs of a BACKBONE?

The WH will likely want to claim executive privilege here, but I think that could backfire on them.

Issa, Gowdy, and others have been alleging for a long time that this came from the highgest levels of the government and the WH claiming EP on this could certainly give the general public the impression that the White House was in on it if spun by the right people.

Odds she pleads the 5th and refuses to answer questions or gets executive privilege ??


75%???

I don't get this. That's bullshite that they can ignore a subpoena in the name of executive privilege.

Claiming EP pretty much sends the whole thing to the Supreme Court to determine the merits of the claim.


Nixon claimed that the recordings from his office were covered by EP and was able to hold them back until the court ruled against him. Once that happened, the house of cards collapsed.

Somehow, I doubt we'll get that kind of result from the John "It's a tax!" Roberts court.

They can't claim executive privilege on someone who didn't work at the W.H.at the time of the investigations inquiry.

They may try some tortured logic to do so, as the IRS is part of the executive branch of government.


That's a stretch under normal circumstance, but look at the kinds of crap they have pulled in the past few years.

Obama is to big to fail.

He is defended by his media and his minions with total dis regard for the country.

The crazy thing is, I wouldn't even want Obama to be impeached now. The msm and Hollywood would just turn him into a martyr.

What I do want is the TRUTH to come out about what lying phonies he and his minions are. I saw a poll the other day that had Obama's AR at 36%. That's the lowest I've ever seen it. If Obama, Holder, etc can be unequivocally tied to this scandal, that would hopefully damage him to the extent that he will be rendered virtually powerless the last 2.5 years.

That's what I want. I want these lying douchebags to be exposed for who and what they really are, and I want Obama to be damaged to the extent that the damage he can perpetrate the next 31 months will be minimized.

But, you guys are right. The media and Hollywood will never turn on him. Just wait. Spielberg or somebody will make a "documentary" portraying Obama's presidency as having been sabotaged by racist white America. They will start by playing Rush Limbaugh's "I hope he fails" comment, and then portray the Tea Party folks as a thinly veiled version of the KKK.

Anybody who doesn't think that will happen is truly naive. Hell, I could put together that "documentary" myself.

Probably true, but not a fair conclusion on its principle.

I agree, RCDfan1950. I hope the next President, at the very least, wants to do the right things for America. In my honest opinion, Obama, Holder, Jarrett, etc seem to have a palpable resentment towards a certain segment of the American people. Imo, Obama and Holder have been the most racially divisive President/AG duo of my lifetime, and that's just one aspect of how divisive this administration has been.

it's one thing to have a President in office with whom you basically disagree. That happens to approximately 50% of the American people every time we have an election. But, Obama goes way beyond that construct. He's the biggest phony to ever hold the office, and he never should've been the American President.
