Seems like the problem is Obama testified that he didn't know anything about the operation and then used executive privilege to cover it up. How could he know that it needs to be covered up if he didn't know anything about it in the first place? It doesn't seem to be important whether the operation it's self was legal or not. Only that he must have been lying about it one way or the other. Was he lying when he testified he didn't know anything? Or was he lying later on when he claimed the authority to use executive privilege? He can't have it both ways.
No, this sounds less and less like Watergate, and more and more like the GOP trying to create a scandal out of a possibly botched law enforcement operation that had little or nothing to do with the Obama administration. Kind of like beating a dead horse: Not sure why the do it, but they apparently derive some form of gratification from the activity!
