Holder: If we could maybe just stay those F&F docs indefinitely, that’d be great​

As President Obama searches for ways to suggest and further enforce federal laws that he supposes will have some kind of a mitigating effect on gun violence, his Most Transparent Administration, Evah is still trying to block Freedom of Information Act requests that might possibly puncture the well-orchestrated smokescreen surrounding the gun violence that they directly perpetrated. Perfect.

Breitbart has the scoop on the Obama administration wondering whether we all just can’t pretend that Operation Fast & Furious — the deadly gunrunning scheme and the subsequent investigation, coverup, invocation of executive privilege, and Attorney General Eric Holder being held in contempt of Congress — maybe just never happened at all. If we could sweep this whole thing under the rug and just go about our business, that would be really super awesome, guys:

Attorney General Eric Holder and his Department of Justice have asked a federal court to indefinitely delay a lawsuit brought by watchdog group Judicial Watch. The lawsuit seeks the enforcement of open records requests relating to Operation Fast and Furious, as required by law.

Judicial Watch had filed, on June 22, 2012, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking all documents relating to Operation Fast and Furious and “specifically [a]ll records subject to the claim of executive privilege invoked by President Barack Obama on or about June 20, 2012.”

The administration has refused to comply with Judicial Watch’s FOIA request, and in mid-September the group filed a lawsuit challenging Holder’s denial. That lawsuit remains ongoing but within the past week President Barack Obama’s administration filed what’s called a “motion to stay” the suit. Such a motion is something that if granted would delay the lawsuit indefinitely.​

The ATF chief in charge of F+F and its Bush version said NEITHER administration were not told about the gunwalking, but carry on, superdupes- you're just hurting the BS GOP at this point. Go, Issa, you scumbag hypocrite LOL

Breitbart?

Jeezus.

If there's nothing to this, then why the secret behind the documents? Why use a presidental order to seal them from public (and congressional) view?

You're not supposed to ask that. You're supposed to follow orders like the rest of the good little odumbobots and believe there's nothing there and give it up.

For more than a year, some Republicans and commentators on conservative news media outlets have floated theories that senior Obama officials must have approved the operation — deliberately fostering gun violence to provide a rationale for strengthening gun-control laws — and that they were engaged in a cover-up.

The inspector general’s investigation found no evidence to support those accusations.

And that makes it all OK...

It was Arizona State law that prevented the ATF investigation of the gun runner nicknamed "Fast & Furious" from going forward.

Geez, these wingnuts never give up! This is a non-issue.

No, I'm wrong. This case is an excellent example of why Arizona needs stricter gun control laws.
