David Brooks: Obama’s use of executive privilege politically ‘stupid,’ ‘a winner’ for the GOP
" “I think politically it’s stupid, because it is one thing if you’re invoking executive privilege over some national security issue. This is a policy everybody admits was profoundly stupid. Why are you not saying, ‘OK, this was a stupid policy, let’s get it out there and let’s figure out how it came about.’”
"Later in the segment, Brooks said the GOP was wise to use this against the administration to score political points.
" “I think it is a winner for the Republicans,” "
Why not just leak the Fast and Furious documents? "If Justice Department documents that Issa’s committee seeks from Attorney General Eric Holder had been the subject of a top-secret meeting in the White House Situation Room, their contents already would have been splashed across the media. Issa could read the A1 New York Times story and be done with it."
