WASHINGTON - Republican
National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus released the following
statement on Attorney General Holder's refusal to comply with the House
investigation into the Fast and Furious scandal:
"Fast and Furious was a failed
operation that resulted in tragedy, and Americans are right to demand answers
from Attorney General Eric Holder and the Obama administration," said RNC
Chairman Reince Priebus.
"This administration promised to
be the most transparent in history, but they have clearly failed to live up to
that promise. President Obama criticized other presidents for invoking executive
privilege, but now that it serves his political purposes he's doing the same to
protect his Attorney General. That's certainly not transparency. It's hypocrisy,
and it rightly leaves Americans and the families affected by Fast and Furious
wondering what the administration is hiding." ###
