Did the Obama Administration Lie To A Federal Judge About Amnesty? RYAN LOVELACE March 5, 2015

The Texas attorney general is going to court to find out. Did the Obama administration lie to a federal judge about the President’s executive actions on immigration? The Texas attorney general’s office is filing a motion for discovery to try and find out. The motion seeks to uncover whether Justice Department lawyers explicitly deceived federal judge Andrew Hanen, who issued the injunction blocking Obama’s amnesty. “In an apparent attempt to quickly execute President Obama’s unlawful, unconstitutional amnesty plan, the Obama Administration appears to have already been issuing expanded work permits, in direct contradiction to what they told a federal judge previously in this litigation,” said Texas attorney general Ken Paxton in a statement. “The circumstances behind this must be investigated, and the motion we seek would help us determine to what extent the Administration might have misrepresented the facts in this case.”

On Tuesday, the Justice Department acknowledged that the Obama administration had begun implementing the executive amnesty in advance of the federal judge’s injunction, and had granted expanded deferred action on deportation to approximately 100,000 illegal-immigrant applicants before the March start date authorized by the president. The Justice Department had explicitly told Hanen otherwise, stating that “no applications” for programs relating to the president’s executive actions had been granted, as the Washington Examiner’s Byron York noted on Wednesday.

Quick observation: absolutely nothing of substance will come from this.

This is a lot more devious than it first appears.

First, the number put up at 100,000 is pulled out of nothingness. Obama’s people can now stretch it to 500,000 or 1,000,000 or more. How can anyone be sure what the number is? The Obama administration could report that 99,123 hologram work permits have been issued but it could be 1,000,000 + 99,123 or whatever they desire.

Now suppose that a motion was granted to retrieve the profile information for all illegals who were granted the work permits. And suppose the Obama people turn over 93. But they said 100,000! Well it’s a typo or a mispoke,

The game never ends until the Texas AG can infiltrate the racket and perform a sting.

After the last couple of weeks, any law-and-order respecting American has to feel like they are driving a car with no brakes and failed steering moving at 100 MPH. Obama is moving with impunity, and no one is even making the pretense of stopping him.

A more shocking headline would be, “the Obama administration told the truth.”

“Why wouldn’t they? No one can stop them.”

Boehner will jump to action to help DOJ.

He is the worst speaker I have ever seen
