Don't understand why Obama used his executive privelege on this. It's toxic ffs.

Probably because it was the continuation and enormous expansion of a program that was a proven failure in the Bush administration, which they knew going in, but politics prevailed over policy so they are going to look terrible when the information gets out. They are going to spin it as a W idea that they simply continued but that won't look reasonable with full disclosure.

I've also heard that they thought they were smarter than those looking into it and thought they would give them 6000 pages of mostly useless documents and that would be the end of it. Unfortunately they dicked around for about 18 months and now its in the heat of the election year.
Obama has been far to loyal to Holder and this will certainly have some serious repercussions if it gets any "real" play in the press.
