There is a working fire under all of that smoke billowing through the stonewall. This isn't about fighting for the principle of executive privilege. It's about covering up a career ending mistake and failure.
And you can take that to the bank.
It may well be about covering up a career ending mistake, but the Republican risk of pushing and failing only 5 months from election and the nature of deliberative executive privilege will result in Issa and team failing to get a resignation or impeachment, imo. But, I won't say you can take my opinion on that to the bank because I think there is enough valid cause for a hearing.
I am definitely interested in watching how this all plays out.
