RUSH: Jay Carney, the spokeskid for President Obama at the White House, just got some questions on the executive privilege and Fast and Furious, and who do you think he blamed for Fast and Furious? You think Bush? You don\u2019t have to stop and think about that for very long, Snerdley. Well, you\u2019re right. Here\u2019s Jay Carney blaming all of this on George W. Bush.<\/p>\n
RUSH: They\u2019re falling apart up there. Every line of that is bogus. Not every line, but elements of every line are bogus. But, Mr. Carney, I would simply say that if you want to stand by what you said, why is there executive privilege? Why not just release these documents that show it\u2019s Bush\u2019s fault? If your guy stopped it, if you stopped Fast and Furious, you might want to call Brian Terry\u2019s family and tell \u2019em that you stopped it, the dead border patroller. Call \u2019em up. Holder called \u2019em after he\u2019d been shamed into doing it. But you call \u2019em, Jay, you call \u2019em and you tell \u2019em that Fast and Furious was brought to a screeching halt by this administration. <\/p>\n

You tell \u2019em that Bush did it, and then release the document. It sounds like you\u2019ve got a win-win here, Jay. You release the documents, we see that Bush did it all, and everybody on your team is off the hook. So why is there executive privilege, Jay? What are you hiding? Why is it necessary to hide the president\u2019s involvement in this if there isn\u2019t any? The only question here is, what is Obama hiding? It\u2019s the question that needs to be asked again and then. What\u2019s Obama hiding, and there is something. This is pathetic. “The problem of gun walking was a field-driven –” your own attorney general walked that back. He recanted that claim this week, Jay. They don\u2019t care. They literally don\u2019t care. <\/p>\n
They\u2019re just gonna go out there and say it, and they know the media\u2019s gonna circle the wagons. This business about “Republicans insist on moving forward with an effort that Republicans and objective legal experts have noted is purely political. Given the economic challenges facing the country, we believe House Republicans instead should be engaged in effort to create jobs.” That\u2019s Mitt Romney\u2019s job, and he\u2019s doing it. And he\u2019s talking about it. And they don\u2019t want that talked about. One of the reasons for this executive privilege, I am convinced, is to distract everybody\u2019s attention from the economy. <\/p>\n
This notion about 7,600 pages of documents, I wish I could remember where I read this yesterday. Some former Justice Department member was talking about this. That\u2019s peanuts, 7,600 pages of documents compared to the number of documents that there are on this whole program is peanuts. And the administration is throwing that number around like Carney just did because it sounds big. That\u2019s not pages, that\u2019s documents. How many pages in a document? It changes document to document. But I\u2019m telling you, I read yesterday from some noted expert here that this is peanuts. Testifying at 11 congressional — how many did they lie at, Jay? How many congressional hearings did your attorney general tell a lie? He could testify every day as far as we\u2019re concerned, but if he lies, what\u2019s it worth? <\/p>\n
So you\u2019ve got Holder recanting his testimony that Mukasey, the AG during Bush\u2019s second term, was in charge of this. And Carney goes out the next day and contradicts what Holder said. It really is breathtaking. How do you assert executive privilege for a field-driven operation? Everything Jay Carney said, everything he said here was all over MSNBC yesterday. This is just talking points that somebody\u2019s put together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
