“.......may finally get the attention it deserves.........”

There have been so many “scandals” connected with odumbo and his ilk, none of us will live long enough to see them all investigated and/or prosecuted. The best way to resolve all this is to put the asses in jail while the investigations proceed.

How these things always under a democratic leader seem to drag out until they are out of office always amazes me.

“President Obama stonewalled and then dismissed as “phony” years ago”

This from the most phony pResident in US history.

But it will be part of his true legacy.

First, there was the raid on drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's hideout, which turned up a .50 caliber rifle sold through Fast and Furious. This is not some sporting rifle that the administration sold. This one measures more than 4 feet long and can bring down a helicopter.

Next, Obama-appointed District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson tossed out Obama's executive privilege claim.

Federal Judge Obama Appointed Strikes Down His Fast and Furious Executive Privilege Claim

This truly is an amazing turn of events. If Obama were a Republican, conservative or not, this would be in the news 24/7. Will the MSM even mention it? I have my doubts.

Hundreds of Mexicans have died from Obama's Fast and Furious gun trafficking.

Operation Fast & Furious had as its central purpose the subversion of the US Constitution. The program's stategy was to gin up a furor over guns sourced in the US being used in Mexican crime so that the US public could be stampeded into restricting the 2nd Amendment. Since few such guns were being used in Mexico more had to be supplied. They also had to show up at crime scenes so that they could be traced back to the US to 'prove' the Obama administration's assertions.

The GOP should be harping on one message every time F&F is mentioned. F&F was a program designed to result in Mexican deaths - so that 'evil' US-sourced guns could be found at the crime scenes and US gun laws could be blamed for the carnage. Holder, Napolitano, Hillary and Obama and a host of their minions cooked this program up knowing that Mexicans would die - in fact, needing Mexicans to die for this scheme to work. The Obama administration was cynically willing to slaughter Hispanics to accomplish their political purposes. The only "botch" in the scheme was F&F guns turning up to get Americans killed too.

I can see a blanket pardon coming in January, 2017. Every single person who ever worked in the Obama will be pardoned in a sweeping abuse of Presidential overreach. Not naming names, just a vague ‘everyone in my Admin is pardoned for any wrongdoing they may have done during their ‘service to America’. Period. How could he name them all? Their name is Legion. If Loretta Lynch couldn’t be bothered to indict Lois Lerner, who will ever be held accountable for ANYTHING?

A federal judge has rejected President Barack Obama’s assertion of executive privilege to deny Congress access to records pertaining to Operation Fast and Furious, a gunrunning probe that allegedly allowed thousands of weapons to flow across the border into Mexico.

U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled Tuesday that the Justice Department’s public disclosures about its response to the so-called “gun walking” controversy undercut Obama’s executive privilege claim.

“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.

The standoff over the records led to a House vote in June 2012 holding then-Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for failing to turn over the records. The House later initiated a lawsuit to try to force disclosure of the files. The case was repeatedly delayed in an unsuccessful effort to broker a settlement.

The administration initially asked Jackson to throw out the suit altogether, arguing that the legislative and executive branches should use their own methods to sort out the dispute. However, the judge ruled in 2013 that the fight was an appropriate one for the courts to resolve. She also rejected the administration’s efforts to appeal the case at that time, before she issued a definitive ruling.

Jackson, an Obama appointee, left open the possibility in her ruling Tuesday that some of the disputed records could still be held back from Congress because they contain sensitive information on law enforcement techniques, implicate foreign policy concerns or discuss matters covered by attorney-client privilege.

The administration could appeal the ruling. Spokespeople at the Justice Department and the White House didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
