Remember all the cries in the past for governmental transparency by the "progressive" media? Well, when it comes to the Department of Justice lack of transparency in refusing to turn over documents related to Operation Fast and Furious, Rolling Stone writer Jillian Rayfield excuses it away by claiming that the demand is really due to a GOP 'war' on Eric Holder:

A big part of the show is demonizing Holder himself. Several Republicans have recently called for Holder to step down, among them Johnny Isakson (R-GA), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), and Jon Cornyn (R-TX), who did so to Holder's face in a Senate Judiciary hearing just last week. In one Republican primary debate, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum also both called for Holder's resignation. Romney, for his part, has steered clear of the issue so far, but he won't be able to for long if RNC Chair Reince Priebus gets his way. Priebus says that "Fast and Furious" will be a central 2012 campaign theme, so even if the contempt proceedings go away, it doesn't look like Holder will be off the hook anytime soon.

Rolling Stone stopped being cool back in the 70s. It’s not even good paper to roll a joint from.

The woman is clueless. We have a Justice dept that has been selling guns to drug cartel gun men knowing that they will be used to kill folks & they knew that they would end up killing cops & when that happened they told the ranks so “F”ing what!!

What we have is a DoJ that is in need of a house cleaning that will make one of Joseph Stalin’s legendary purges look like a bunch of Sunday school kids singing Jesus loves me.
Until that housecleaning takes place when having any interaction with any Federal LEO or DoJ personnel your default setting should be that the person is dirty.
