Why is this still going on? What is Obama hiding? What is he covering for Hillary? Everyone remembers Hillary's press conference with President of Mexico when she cried about the evil gun shops, while at the same time was forcing those shops to ship weapons to drug lords. Insanity.
Judge rules against Obama on 'Fast and Furious'
U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson ordered the administration to release documents that it has been attempting to withhold by asserting executive privilege.
The ruling also requires the administration to release to Congress all "segregable portions" of 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 in contempt for refusing to turn over the records.
Operation Fast and Furious was launched by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The gun-running operation, which lasted from 2009 to 2011, resulted in the ATF losing over a thousand firearms. Two of those weapons were linked to the 2010 murder of a Border Patrol agent in Arizona.
Many of the weapons are suspected to have landed in the hands of Mexican drug cartels.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that brought the lawsuit, lauded the ruling on Tuesday.
"Today's decision will help us advance the Fast & Furious investigation into this administration's gun running operation," he said in a statement.
"After allowing guns to walk, the administration's attempt to hide behind executive privilege only adds insult to injury. While the decision doesn't give us access to all the documents, it is an important step forward. We will continue investigating until we get to the truth."
