Wingnuthead asserts Executive privelege
Which means, by definition, he is directly involved; otherwise I do not believe privelege applies, right? Any constitutional scholars in our midst?

Anything that involves the executive branch’s prerogatives can be covered, as I understand it – including (eg. as claimed under Eisenhower) between subordinates and not including the President.
Part of the problem is that it’s a common-law power following on from the Constitution, rather than a directly Constitutional power – and that it hasn’t been tested in court since US v. Nixon where Burger officially recognized that there was such a thing – and that it was limited.
So, we can’t assume the President is tacitly admitting any involvement from the claim itself.
From “Outside The Beltway” by Attorney
Doug Mataconis –
“Executive Privilege has generally only been asserted in cases where the documents involve communications with the President and his staff. Up until now, the Justice Department and the White House have both said that the White House was not involved in the Fast And Furious operation or in the internal investigation that occurred after it started to fall apart. Does the assertion of Executive Privilege now mean that is true?”

You would certainly think that by this time they’d have been able to forge some documents that made this Bush’s fault.
They tried that already. Made the claim that the whole gunrunning program was known to Bush’s AG.
Had to rescind that claim however when it was proven false.
Lol. HuffPo is still claiming it. And that all the documents were sent. And that there were no documents. And it’s all bush’s fault!!!!one!!
Give ’em this link. Just happened today.

Lol. You just made that up, that’s not true!!! besides, BUSH!!!
I don’t go to HuffPost very often. You see, it makes me throw up in my mouth a little. Or a lot.
NOW can we impeach the lying sumbitch?
Which particular lying sumbitch? There are several.
Herds.
Is “herds” the correct collective term for lying sumbitches? I’ll bet that “a flop” is the correct way to refer to a group of lying sumbitches. After all, that is what you call bullshit after it hits the ground.
davek@5:19pm. That’s better than throwing up in someone else’s mouth.
