The Fast and Furious scandal is causing the Obama administration to try to suppress evidence from public view. Judicial Watch reports:

The Obama Administration has abruptly sealed court records containing alarming details of how Mexican drug smugglers murdered a U.S. Border patrol agent with a gun connected to a failed federal experiment that allowed firearms to be smuggled into Mexico.

Here is the bombshell:

Could this be a cover-up on the part of the "most transparent" administration in history? After all, the rifle used to kill the federal agent (Brian Terry) last December in Arizona's Peck Canyon was part of the now infamous Operation Fast and Furious. Conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the disastrous scheme allowed guns to be smuggled into Mexico so they could eventually be traced to drug cartels.

That’s one ‘s them “rhetorical questions”, right?

Of course it’s a cover-up.

The ‘most transparent government in history’ has his entire life history inaccessible, all of it, buried in a cave somewhere behind a black curtain.

The ‘most transparent government in history’ refuses to release something as simple as his transcripts.

Mr. transparency closed all meetings concerning transparency to the press.

Compared to Obama, even Nixon was an honest and open President.

Time to say it again:

The Obama administration's conception of transparency is modeled on the Romulan cloaking device on Star Trek.

Richard Nixon's ghost must be full of envy at the way the media are ignoring this scandal, which, never forget, has led to many deaths, including two federal officials.

Shame on the MSM... Shame on the New York Times. Shame on the Washington Post...

It is TIME. It is Time to Drain the Swamp, Time to DownSize DC.

Now who can we enlist to gut and field dress the critter? (DC)

The foul stench coming from Washington call for a big bottle of bleach. Impeachments? How many?

And this ‘most transparent’ meme is another point that the GOP MUST emphasize during the election? Will they? I doubt it. They’re clueless.

What more do “we the people need” ?

Are we this far gone that we can do nothing?

I did not know agent Terry but I am ashamed that we dishonor him by letting these communists off with no repercussions for their actions that contributed directly in the death of at least one( probably more) of our fellow citizens, not to even mention the killing of our neighbors to the south.

My nephew leaves for the Marines in 12 days, is this what respect he will receive as well God forbid something happens to him? We should all be ashamed we have let this bunch of ruling class elites run us over with no fight at all.
