Rep. Darrell Issa on Monday accused President Barack Obama of using executive privilege to obstruct the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s investigation of the failed Fast and Furious gun-walking operation:
The executive branch has articulated a strong and highly specific reason for withholding the documents at issue: Forced disclosure to Congress of internal deliberations concerning how best to interact with Congress would undermine the executive’s capacity to function as a co-equal branch. It would undermine the prospects for future candid deliberations about interactions with the other institutions of government.
The full House of Representatives is planning to vote on whether to hold Holder in contempt this Thursday, according to Republican leadership staff.
