A federal judge on Tuesday ruled President Obama cannot use executive privilege to keep records on the "fast and furious" gun-tracking program from Congress.
The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson requires the administration to release to Congress all records they are withholding that are considered "attorney-client privileged material, attorney work product, private information, law enforcement sensitive material, or foreign policy sensitive material." House Republicans launched the suit after voting to hold then-Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt for refusing to turn over the records.
Operation Fast and Furious was launched by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Thanks for posting. ...saw this but was busy at work.
Yer going down, odumbo ... frikkin’ DOWN !!!
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA AND HA.
WHAT? Can’t you read between the lines?
It has only been since June 2012. Congress really tightened the screws and showed us who was boss. After Obama Administration appeals this ruling we will have the answers we need around 2025. It is good to know that congress’s oversight responsibility is not hindered by time. That they are relentless in their pursuit of justice. /s
Well, that didn’t take long.
Great. Throw Holder in jail. I won’t hold my breath.
I won’t either but it would be great to see him in an orange jumpsuit.
If a Republican president and attorney general were caught selling M-16s to Mexican drug lords they’d be removed from office within 30 days.
Removing more possible Obama democrats from circulation. It in and of itself is noteworthy in that some the odar of corruption is in the air all other D.C.
