A federal judge has ruled on an aspect of Operation Fast and Furious, a gun running scheme that allowed and supported thousands of weapons being sent across the border into Mexico. It appears to be a program developed and administered by the Obama administration, an ironic twist given the president’s strong anti-gun posture, especially in recent weeks. The program was denounced in part because some of the weapons were used against U.S. border patrol agents in which some deaths resulted. Weapons are difficult to access in Mexico, so the program seemed especially cynical and improper.
The program was seen as so corrupt and even illegal that the House of Representatives demanded that the records be turned over detailing the program. Attorney General Eric Holder refused that request and was held in contempt by Congress for that failure. As with so many aspects of wrongdoing in the Obama administration, no penalty was enacted for that demonstration of obstruction of justice. Now a new aspect of the case is being played out, this time by President Obama, and it is truly mind boggling.
Court rejects Obama executive privilege assertion, page 2:
selling guns to drug cartels, and easing gun purchase restrictions for illegal aliens….while at the same time, trying to undermine the 2nd amendment for law abiding Americans…..that idiot needs to be held fully accountable…….and when the dust clears, I hope it finds his sorry$#%&!@*behind bars, or worse!
Did anyone read the decision “U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee, rejected the administrations request for executive privilege in the Fast and Furious case, but for a very odd reason.
“There is no need to balance the need against the impact that the revelation of any record could have on candor in future executive decision making, since any harm that might flow from the public revelation of the deliberations at issue here has already been self-inflicted,” Jackson wrote. “The Department itself has already publicly revealed the sum and substance of the very material it is now seeking to withhold. Since any harm that would flow from the disclosures sought here would be merely incremental, the records must be produced.”
Jackson said she wasn’t questioning the propriety of Obama’s claim of privilege, but ruling that the claim could not be sustained in view of other information the Justice Department had released on the topic, chiefly an Office of Inspector General report released in September 2012.
“This ruling is not predicated on a finding that the withholding was intended to cloak wrongdoing on the part of government officials or that the withholding itself was improper,” the judge wrote.’
He should be arrested, along with his corrupt Administration.
both broke the law- both need to serve a little jail time
Eric Holder was El Chapo’s gun dealer.
Maybe someday ,God willing,these two will wind up in jail!
whatcha trying to hide there boys???????
OBAMA AND HIS FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL ARE PRO ENEMIES AND IRANIAN .. IN MY OPINION …
It’s amazing that they could not seem to see that such a plan would blow up in their faces.
Naturally he will appeal this decision. What a mess this administration has been, is, and will continue to be.
