FAST AND FURIOUS INVESTIGATION LIVES ON: Obama-appointed judge strikes down Fast and Furious “Executive Privilege” claim

Didn’t see this one coming.

The good news:  The investigation against the Obama regime’s “gun walking” program lives on.  The Justice Department’s program gave guns to Mexican drug cartels, in violation of American laws, international law and plain old common sense.  Those guns have been linked to scores, if not hundreds of deaths, including American law enforcement officers.

(Townhall) – After significant deliberation U.S. District Judge Amy Berman has struck down Obama’s assertion of executive privilege over documents pertaining to Operation Fast and Furious, the Department of Justice program that allowed the sale and trafficking of thousands of weapons to violent Mexican drug cartels. Berman was appointed to the Court by President Obama in 2011. POLITICO has the details:

U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled Tuesday that the Justice Department’s public disclosures about its response to the so-called “gun walking” controversy undercut Obama’s executive privilege claim.

The standoff over the records led to a House vote in 2012 holding then-Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for failing to turn over the records. The House later initiated a lawsuit to try to force disclosure of the files.

Jackson left open the possibility that some of the records could be held back from Congress because they contain sensitive information on law enforcement techniques or implicate foreign policy concerns.
