I am watching the Meet the Press right now, and the Darrel Issa and the reporter he is talking with have said that he wants the specific emails where there was discussion and talk about him. When the people on Meet the Press asked him "if he got all the documents he wanted, everything he wanted what was it he thinks he would prove or is trying to prove'? He deflected several times when asked this and tried to skirt by the fact that what he was really trying to get was emails where Eric Holder, and some of the administration were actually "talking about him". In other words he wants to know what these guys are saying about him, and this has nothing to do with the actual program or even uncovering any perceived so called "cover up" of which he won't even say what he thinks the cover up is.

If the emails contain references to Issa, it's because Holder and his people were plotting a strategy to deal with Issa's inevitable investigation. The emails probably say: " We'll stonewall Issa till Hell freezes over. Our friends in the MSM won't even cover the story, or they'll say it's a witch hunt. Besides, Obama has assured me, that if worse comes to worse, he'll use executive privilege to protect us. We can drag this thing out for years"
Obama's executive privilege claim doesn't have a chance of withstanding a court challenge. Case law has already been established by prior presidents failing to get court approval for attempted executive privilege claims under similar circumstances. Claiming executive privilege is just a stalling tactic to delay the shit hitting the fan until after the presidential election.
