Nice particulars in that subpoena, and everything must be unredacted. If Holder actually complies this will likely point right to the White House. So what happens when the attorney general of the US of A fails to answer a congressional subpoena?
Holder and Barry can CLAIM “Executive Privilege” but having spent my youth living through Watergate, SCOTUS pretty much deep-sixed it with the Watergate Tapes. But there’s nothing to prevent the Anointed One from claiming it, and using it as a delaying tactic until it gets back to SCOTUS. This does buy time to fire up the Shredders and have a few “Mysterious” Accidents to Witnesses, though.
Or Barry can just throw Eric under the Bus, claiming that he was “Shocked! Shocked to hear that there was Gambling going on!”
Unless, of course, Eric pulls a J.Edgar Hoover and shows Barry a File or two about the Anointed One’s Past….
I heard this on the radio coming home from work this morning. I yelled “yeah!” and did a fist pump, and starteled the guy sitting next to me in traffic….

I guarantee he would comply if the penalty for not doing so was spending the night in prison with john holmes twin brother……

Maybe someone with a legal background can chime in.
What is to the President from making a claim of executive privilege and withholding the information?

Sorry, What is to keep* the President from making a claim of executive privilege and therefore withholding the information?

Phillip: Nothing. Which is a good reason to turn Holder. Promise him we won’t extradite him to Mexico if he sings.

Do we have an extradition treaty with Mexico?

Ian: Yes. It’s not followed very often, but it is there.
