PAUL MIRENGOFF: Those Fast and Furious documents must be dynamite. “Some have speculated that Obama’s intervention means that the president himself has something to hide.”

UPDATE: More: “Let me begin by saying that if a Republican president had bypassed Congress to redraft a statute (on immigration in this administration) and cooked up fake privileges repeatedly — the Obama team did this in the Black Panther investigation and even to halt its former social secretary from testifying — there would be howls from the media and talk of impeachment. . . . Principled Democrats who may soon face a Romney administration had better pipe up. Otherwise the precedent will be there for vast expansion of executive power and squashing of Congress’s proper role in our system of government.”
