President Obama’s trusted senior advisor, Valerie Jarrett, was a key player in the effort to cover-up that Attorney General Eric Holder lied to Congress about the Fast and Furious scandal, according to public records obtained by Judicial Watch.
The information is part of a Department of Justice (DOJ) “Vaughn index” detailing records about the gun-running operation known as Fast and Furious. JW had to sue the agency for the records after the Obama administration failed to provide them under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). A federal court ordered the DOJ to provide the records over the agency’s objections. Yesterday JW reported on the broad information in the records, including that Obama asserted executive privilege for Holder’s wife as part of the administration’s efforts to cover up the scandal.
Practically lost in the 1,000-plus pages of records is an index that shows Jarrett was brought in to manage the fact that Holder lied to Congress after the story about the disastrous gun-running operation broke in the media. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) ran the once-secret program that allowed guns from the U.S. to be smuggled into Mexico so they could eventually be traced to drug cartels. Instead, federal law enforcement officers lost track of hundreds of weapons which have been used in an unknown number of crimes, including the murder of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Arizona.
The files received by JW include three electronic mails between Holder and Jarrett and one from former U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke to Jarrett. The e-mails with Holder are all from October 4, 2011, a significant date because, on the evening of October 3rd, Sheryl Attkisson (then at CBS news) released documents showing that Holder had been sent a briefing paper on Operation Fast and Furious on June 5, 2010. The paper was from the director of the National Drug Intelligence Center, Michael Walther.
This directly contradicted Holder’s May 3, 2011 testimony to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, during which he stated that he, “probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks.” The October 4, 2011 date may also be significant because it came shortly after the August 30, 2011 resignation of U.S. Attorney for Arizona Dennis Burke and reassignment of acting ATF director Kenneth Melson to the position of “senior forensics advisor” at DOJ.
The description of one of the e-mails, written from Jarrett to Holder, reads, “re: personnel issues.” Another, also from Jarrett, reads, “outlining and discussing preferred course of action for future responses in light of recent development in congressional investigation.” Unfortunately, the index is vague and that’s all the information we have about them. Nevertheless, given the timing and subject of these e-mails, it seems clear that Jarrett quickly became a key player in the Fast and Furious cover-up in the immediate aftermath of the revelation that Holder had lied to Congress.

Nobody cares about scandals attached to (D) administrations no matter how egregious. Now get an (R) and a Valerie Plame together, and bam, thermonuclear media fireworks with front page fallout with a half life of 1 year.
...and trying to stop the attack on Osama bin Laden.
This is a first! Interchangeable organ grinder and monkey.
She should get Ebola.

Obola would get away with it because:
(a) homosexuality is now an alternative lifestyle; and
(b) the boy's skin was white, i.e. he bears the collective guilt of the whites who oppressed the 4% of Obola's ancestors who were neither Caucasian nor Arab slave traders.
Where does this go?
This, and other, Judicial Watch findings will help Issa’s case.
Issa’s case is being stonewalled because of Separation of Powers issues.
OTOH, Judicial Watch cannot obtain anything unless the FOIA allows it.
Together (JW+Issa) they WILL get a smoking gun. If they get one smoking gun, it’ll be easier to get the rest of the evidence.
The next step:
The Justice Department has to provide Issa’s committee “non-privileged” documents by Nov. 3. I don’t expect any smoking guns from this document dump. But this and JW’s findings will help Issa to compile a list of documents to challenge their “privileged” status.
If all I read is TRUE then WHY has no one ever been INDICTED?
“As long as America is controlled by the communists party headed by King Obama this is mute. “
Yup! “Mute” and irrevalunt!
When we see it blasted all over CNN, when Boner brings it up, or when Crissy Matthews starts his show in tears, then maybe you can say that.

Thanks, stephenjohnbanker.
If all I read is TRUE then WHY has no one ever been INDICTED?
Because Holder has no interest in indicting them, and he’s where the authority to indict resides.
