WASHINGTON - Late Friday, the White House turned over new documents in the Congressional investigation into the ATF "Fast and Furious" gunwalking scandal.
The documents show extensive communications between then-ATF Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix office Bill Newell - who led Fast and Furious - and then-White House National Security Staffer Kevin O'Reilly. Emails indicate the two also spoke on the phone. Such detailed, direct communications between a local ATF manager in Phoenix and a White House national security staffer has raised interest among Congressional investigators looking into Fast and Furious. Newell has said he and O'Reilly are long time friends.
ATF agents say that in Fast and Furious, their agency allowed thousands of assault rifles and other weapons to be sold to suspected traffickers for Mexican drug cartels. At least two of the guns turned up at the murder scene of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry last December.

Translation: Were not included because of "significant smoking gun revelations."
Congressional investigators for Republicans Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) have asked to interview O'Reilly by September 30. But the Administration informed them that O'Reilly is on assignment for the State Department in Iraq and unavailable.
How convenient.
One administration source says White House national security staffers were "briefed on the toplines of ongoing federal efforts, but nobody in White House knew about the investigative tactics being used in the operation, let alone any decision to let guns walk."
YOU LIE!!!
FYI
Maybe it’s time for Obama to start destroying the 18 minutes of tape.
Ping.
This regime is so corrupt. I don’t expect many documents about the Solyndra fiasco to be released either. Transparency my @$$. Elections do have consequences, but of course, this time they are “historical” consequences.
“investigative tactics”??
Let me remind you that Honduras President Lobo is to meet with Obozo at the White Hut on October 5th. To discuss among other things the U.S. helping Mr. Lobo re-establish their police force investigative methods. hee hee hee
Double Speak for Lobo sold out to Obozo and is selling the Nation of Honduras out. Traitor the same as Obozo is here.

(in spanish, use google translate to convert. It is a Reuters article so I cannot post directly after translation)
This is an extremely revealing article, have not been able to find an English version to post. It is work the effort.
O’Reilly is probably heading a “GunRunner Project” in Iraq so that they can track them back to Iran - /sarc
That tells you pretty much all you need to know. Next week could be interesting if the media will do its job. Not holding my breath, though.
Hope O’Reilly has a very big insurance policy. Democratic liabilities have a way of dying under unusual circumstances other than old age.
O’Reilly needs to be arrested in Iraq by the US Army and returned to testify to Congress under subpoena.
While it is normal human behavior to stonewall, they really should have learned by now that this drip drip drip will destroy them. At least I hope.
Here’s something I don’t understand.
Why would there be incriminating documents at all from the White House?
If Holder, Obama, and whomever, were knowingly doing something illegal, why wouldn’t they forge documents that either show Gunwalker to be with good intents or have any documentation at all?
It might have been Limbaugh that reminded me that to libs, liberalism is more importnt than Obama. If it comes down to him or the “struggle,” the media and other libs will protect liberalism.
Friday doc dump.
Nice try, Øbummer & Holdup (Holder).
We’re not going away.
Maybe Billy Jeff will do his half step laugh to cry routine again!
Probably because the guys they had forge the fake birth certificate were too busy on other things. ;-)
Couldn't agree more. That is the very core of the argument I have made many times that Hillary could well be the next president. Same agenda, but much more credibility among the electorate (misplaced, but more).
