(CNSNews.com) – Obama administration employee Kevin O’Reilly -- who congressional investigators called “the link connecting the White House to the [Fast and Furious] scandal” -- is back in the United States now after abruptly leaving his White House job to work in Iraq in 2011 after emails concerning him and Fast and Furious had surfaced.
O'Reilly left the United States in August 2011, shortly after his knowledge of the gun-walking program was publicized during a congressional hearing on July 26.
O’Reilly has so far refused to cooperate with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which recently threatened to subpoena him . He also refused to cooperate with the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General, which investigated the program and recently released its findings.
Both the House committee and the Inspector General's office sought to interview O'Reilly about Fast and Furious but the White House refused to grant him permission to be interviewed.
Fast and Furious, launched in September 2009, allowed about 2,000 U.S. guns to flow to Mexican drug cartels, with the apparent intent of tracing the guns. The ATF operation was halted in December 2010 after two of the guns were found at the murder scene of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.
O’Reilly recently returned to Washington, D.C., to work in the State Department’s Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, a State Department official confirmed to CNSNews.com.

Get him, Issa!
Don't threaten him...just f-in' do it!!! Quit pussy-footing around.
Being threatened with a subpoena is no big deal, this guy knows there will be threats on his life if he talks.
Such BS
I have a cousin that works for the State Dept in Iraq for several years. He works some kind of 4 weeks on 4 weeks off type of schedule. It seems like he is in the States more than he is over there. This guy was not over there for 14 months without a R&R break.
He is State Department. I wonder if Hillary brought him back so he would be in the reach of a subpoena from Issa?
Throwing Obama under the bus?
