Judicial Watch is looking to crowdsource the huge pile of documents finally delivered by the Obama Administration in response to their Freedom of Information Act lawsuit on Operation Fast and Furious. (In the unlikely event the mainstream media decides not to embargo this story, I don’t want to catch any of you claiming that it was a FOIA request. The request got ignored by the Most Transparent Administration In History, so they had to file a lawsuit. The document production is occurring under the stern gaze of a federal judge.)
Here’s a little taste of what has already been discovered, offered by Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton as a bit of catnip for aspiring crowd-source helpers interested in searching through the 42,000 pages of documentation President Obama risibly concealed by asserting executive privilege:
"We are posting these documents for the public to review and hope that crowd-sourcing our investigation will lead to more accountability for the Fast and Furious outrage. The documents are explosive. For instance, our initial review of the documents shows the DOJ and White House targeted then-CBS journalist Sharyl Attkisson:
"On October 4, 2011, Holder’s top press aide Tracy Schmaler tells White House Deputy Press Sectary Eric Schultz, “I’m also calling Sharryl’s [sic] editor and reaching out to Scheiffer. She’s out of control.”
"Schultz responded, “Good. Her piece was really bad for the AG.”
"Schultz also detailed to Schmaler that he was working with a journalist (Susan Davis, formerly of the National Journal) to target Rep. Darryl Issa (R-CA), the House Republican leading the charge on Fast and Furious:
"“And I sent NJ’s Susan Davis your way. She’s writing on Issa/FandF and I said you could load her up on the leaks, etc.”
"(Davis authored a critical profile of Issa a few weeks later.)
"This one email chain implicates both the Obama White House and the Department of Justice in an effort to secretly undermine a congressional investigation and to suppress critical media reporting of the Obama administration. No wonder Obama waited until after he was safely reelected (and even after this year’s elections) to finally release this material that documents obstruction and abuse at the highest levels.
"The documents show that Obama made the extraordinary assertion of executive privilege over emails between Eric Holder and his wife, Sharon Malone. The emails show that Holder sent his spouse internal DOJ emails about Fast and Furious developments. There is nothing that would have been covered by executive privilege in these or other key records that show Barack Obama abused his power to keep them secret during his reelection campaign up until now."

Wish they would. But his skin is black...
I always like that line... Heh heh heh...
They don't have a reflection. After all, they are sucking the life out of America.
Beware the Big Gubamint Social Media Networking Complex!!
Thank You!
Don’t send your kid to Georgetown.
If Georgetown is your alma mater then don’t contribute.
Also ask WHY Georgetown would employ a COVER-UP QUEEN as a Journalism Teacher, a person who tells young kids how to report news.
A more honest route for her at Georgetown would be classes on how to NOT be a journalist - “don’t be like ME…”
Subscribe to the Wall Street Journal. OK, WHY..?
Why would read a newspaper that is okay with major political cover-ups..?
Don’t click on their ads, and spread the word around.
Very simple
refuse the confirmation of Holders replacement and very publicly impeach Holder while he is still AG and remove him from office
Yep and nothing will happen.
bkmk
sounds excellent.
