By asserting executive privilege, the Justice Department can withhold documents from Congress, even if Congress has issued a subpoena, as the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57456848-503544/white-house-asserts-executive-privilege-over-fast-and-furious-documents/ [/quote] Another possible explanation; The DEA and CIA, which we all know, both operate outside of any executive control attempted to frame the administration with the fast and furious scandal, and Obama used s trump card called executive privelege, to prevent fabricated evidence from being used against him. It amazes me how selective you all are about what you believe and disbelieve regarding the shit reported in the media. There's a sucker born every minute. [/quote] So, by your logic... Enabling the justice department to withhold their documents via executive privilege is protecting them from fabricating their own evidence against them? [/quote] LOL. Sweet ass sweet dissection of a ridiculous argument. Thumbs up to the OP. [/quote]

A high-ranking Mexican drug cartel operative currently in U.S. custody is making startling allegations that the failed federal gun-walking operation known as “Fast and Furious” isn’t what you think it is.
It wasn’t about tracking guns, it was about supplying them — all part of an elaborate agreement between the U.S. government and Mexico’s powerful Sinaloa Cartel to take down rival cartels.
The explosive allegations are being made by Jesus Vicente Zambada-Niebla, known as the Sinaloa Cartel’s “logistics coordinator.” He was extradited to the Chicago last year to face federal drug charges.
Zambada-Niebla claims that under a “divide and conquer” strategy, the U.S. helped finance and arm the Sinaloa Cartel through Operation Fast and Furious in exchange for information that allowed the DEA, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies to take down rival drug cartels. The Sinaloa Cartel was allegedly permitted to traffic massive amounts of drugs across the U.S. border from 2004 to 2009 as long as the intel kept coming.
This pending court case against Zambada-Niebla is being closely monitored by some members of Congress, who expect potential legal ramifications if any of his claims are substantiated. The trial was delayed but is now scheduled to begin on Oct. 9.
