Op-ed:

Documents...I don’t got no stinkin’ documents

By: Diane Sori

As Eric Holder slinked off to Europe yesterday, a day after the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted on the resolution to hold him in contempt of Congress, something hit me like a ton of bricks...the real reason why Holder refuses to turn over the documents requested.

The reason was really easy to figure out using just plain old common sense, something it seems Chairman Darrell Issa and his committee haven’t used or won’t use for whatever reason.  Drum roll please...and the reason is that the 80,000 documents have long been shredded with their remnants having gone up in a poof of smoke. 

Now do I mean literally shredded and gone up in smoke, maybe yes, maybe no, but this figurative use of words also applies to hard copies, hard drives, floppy discs, microfilm, and any and all other computer nuances, because with today’s computer technology they are just as easy to purge and gotten rid of as is paper copies.

When Eric Holder holds fast and furiously (just had to say it) in his refusal to turn the subpoenaed documents over it’s NOT because he believes the committee has no legal right to them, it’s because he can't turn them over as they no longer exist, and that in and of itself spells GUILTY!  

Holder knows it, Obama knows it, and they know ‘We the People’ know it, but they just don't care!

Now some will attest that any and all official documents or correspondence generated by any government employee, or by anyone under government contract, is the property of the government and not the individual.  But I say since when do these rules, or any rules for that matter, apply to Barack Hussein Obama and his minions.  They don’t, as the rule of law that we all must abide by goes right out the window for them.

Some will also say that even if these documents were indeed destroyed that somewhere someone must have made a copy or two and squirreled them away (to possibly be used against them as blackmail perhaps), and to that I say, nonsense.  Obama and Holder are both smart and clever enough to having made sure that their tracks were completely covered.

Now, why do I think it’s a very strong possibility that these documents no longer exist...it’s really quite simple.  Common sense tells me that if someone has nothing to hide and if that someone has definitive evidence that will clear them of a crime, why they wouldn’t turn the documents with that proof over.  They wouldn't.  But if someone has something to hide, NOW that is another story.  

Eric Holder is a master of deception and stonewalling, as is Obama, and it’s easy to see them in their arrogance thinking that if they got rid of the evidence, there would be nothing for Issa to use against them and so the case would fall apart.  All they would have to do is stall long enough to drag this out past the November elections, and even if Holder was found in contempt down the road it wouldn’t matter as Obama would just issue him a presidential pardon. Remember, in Obama’s narcissistic love of himself world he automatically assumes he will be re-elected and no one dare tell him otherwise, especially NOT his Attorney General who needs his protection at all costs.

As for Obama issuing that Executive Privilege to protect Holder, what better ruse to lead the committee members off tract than to issue this privilege.  If Obama and Holder can get Issa to continue to believe that subpoenaed documents are being withheld, then they can divert Issa from using common sense and deductive reasoning and having an ah-ha moment when the light bulb turns on and he says, ‘wait...there are NO documents to be had’!

Now all this is just my opinion of course and I have no concrete proof to back up my supposition, but my gut instinct is telling me that I’m on to something here.  But I leave it up to the reader to decide if I’ve hit on something or not, but remember, in Obamaland, where we all now sadly reside, any and everything is possible.
