A federal judge has ruled against the House's bid to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt for failing to turn over documents related to Operation Fast and Furious.
But the ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson may also pave the way for the release of those crucial documents...
... Judge Andrew Napolitano analyzed the key ruling on "Fox and Friends" this morning, saying usually the Justice Department would prosecute a case like this.
But since the department is run by Eric Holder, the subject of the prosecution, the House had to hire a private attorney.
Napolitano said the judge has now dismissed that prosecution, but agreed with the House that Holder did not comply with the subpoena requests for Fast and Furious documents.
He said the ruling "should" lead to the release of the documents. Brian Kilmeade asked what will happen if Holder, who has announced his resignation, tries to delay until after he leaves.
"His replacement will be under the same thumb [of the federal judge]. If he intentionally delays it, nothing can prevent the House from re-charging him with contempt," said Napolitano, adding that Holder can still be prosecuted once he leaves office.

Amy Berman Jackson (born July 22, 1954) is a District Judge on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.
And a 2010 Obama Appointee.
People died...
Sure...and I’m holding my breath.
Another typical ruling by a corrupt DemocRAT judge running interference for the Obama administration. The order was to turn over “non-priviledged” documents by November 3rd (hey, what a coincidence the evening before election day). Of course, Eric Holder and his corrupt minions determine what is “privileged”.
In summary, same as it ever was.
They were shredded and erased long ago.
Liberals own our judicial system. Its a complete farse.
Just another reason why this man should be prosecuted, not nominated to the Supreme Court (which is the plan).
Nothing will happen.
NOTHING.
Holder and Obola have fundamentally transformed the
US.
Where there was LAW, there is now disease.
I am fully confident the regime can continue to spin this out until January 19, 2017 (i.e. Mega-Pardons Day)
NO. This is just to turn over a LIST of documents, not what is contained in those documents.
The documents themselves are probably gone, the victims of an unfortunate harddrive crash.
One suspects that this might be a very big day for very bad people.
.
Anyone wanna buy a bridge?
They could have Holder on video handing guns to the drug cartels and he still would never be prosecuted.
That’s the way it works in Washington these days since we’ve allowed the corruption to get so bad
Nothing here...move along folk...oh, and don’t hold your breath waiting for what “should” happen with these gangsters.
