National Review ^ | 11-4-2014 | Joel Gehrke

Justice Department officials provided House investigators with thousands of documents related to Operation Fast and Furious that President Obama had previously claimed were exempt from congressional review.

In an “election eve dump,” as House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Darrell Issa (R., Calif.) put it, DOJ handed over 64,280 pages of documents, a release that is still only a partial fulfillment of the committee’s request.

“This production is nonetheless a victory for the legislative branch, a victory for transparency, and a victory for efforts to check Executive Branch power,” Issa said of the release.

That was the whole point. Dump the documents election eve so the MSM would be distracted by other events. Not that the MSM is capable of investigative reporting anyway; esp. when it comes to the Regime.

Let me guess; approx. 91% of all the pages are Blackened Out with India Ink. and of the remaining 9% of visible page space, the surface looks to have been scrubbed with a new Brillo Pad. This leaves 1% of all pages dumped as fully readable. Oh, but then this is the Cantonese Copy. No English copy (which was NOT directly requested) has yet been made available to the Courts.

The fact that one Federal agency can produce 64,000 documents IS the problem.

Shite! I bet a bunch on the ‘under’ side of 60,000 documents.

No more Heinekens for a day or two, I guess.

Just kidding!
