The self-righteous bloviators on @CNN like @chriscuomo and @donlemon and @MSNBC like @maddow forget @EricHolder was held in criminal & civil contempt for refusing to turn over #FastandFurious docs. The Democrats cheered Holder’s defiance and his refusal to comply with subpoenas.
Still, these sanctimonious dolts bellow and whine about Trump’s “disrespect for the rule of law and our democratic institutions,” his defiance of the “norms” that *every* previous administration has respected. And how DARE he claim executive privilege! Only Obama could do that!
“Democrats, 100 of whom walked out before the votes in protest, called the charges an effort to embarrass the Obama administration in an election year. Some accused Republicans of racism for challenging the African-American attorney general.” google.com/amp/s/www.denv… 
“Republicans said they needed to take the extreme step because Holder is refusing to turn over internal e-mails containing the Justice Department’s discussions of the operation.”
”They say they need the documents since Holder first denied any personal knowledge of the operation and then acknowledged he was aware of it.”
“Obama last week asserted executive privilege, blocking release of the additional materials.”
