WASHINGTON – A federal judge has ordered the Justice Department to provide Congress with a list of documents that are at the center of a long-running battle over a failed law enforcement program called Operation Fast and Furious.
In a court proceeding Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson set an Oct. 1 deadline for producing the list to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
The Justice Department says the documents should remain confidential and President Barack Obama has invoked executive privilege in an effort to protect them from public disclosure.
The House panel says the Justice Department documents might explain why the department took nearly a year to admit that federal agents had engaged in a controversial law enforcement tactic known as gun-walking.
The Justice Department has long prohibited the risky practice. But the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives used it with disastrous results in a federal law enforcement probe in Arizona, Operation Fast and Furious.

I don't see how a judge can claim impartiality regarding the one to whom he owes his position.
Hardrive crash is coming. This is just a list of the documents. What’s being done to preserve them?
Yeah!
Only in the Federal government does a hardrive crash result in a loss of documents.
Everyone in the civilized world stores documents on a server with backups and redundancy.
Watch out ... time for another hard drive crash.
There will be one page entitled “Document List.”
It will be blank!
It’s a balancing act, but this is good progress. Eventually, the truth will out.
sorry ,but Eric is busy starting Race Riots to worry about that right now
It's my firm belief that Fast & Furious has been the easiest to prove Treason case in the last eighty years.
Hahahahahah—and WHO is going to make them do it? The Constitution was written fore somewhat honorable men. There are few in this administration who can lay claim to that .
