The lid may finally blow off the Fast and Furious cover-up by the Obama administration, as a federal judge ordered the release of thousands of emails showing how then-attorney general Eric Holder obstructed, stonewalled, and misdirected congressional investigators looking into the program.
People in the Nixon administration went to jail for less.

The documents reveal how senior Justice Department officials — including Attorney General Holder — intensely followed and managed an effort to carefully limit and obstruct the information produced to Congress,” he asserted.
They also indict Holder deputy Lanny Breuer, an old Clinton hand, who had to step down in 2013 after falsely denying authorizing Fast and Furious.

These emails show that the administration went far beyond the normal efforts to manage a hot political scandal. There is criminal activity here – most notably obstruction of justice – that needs to be investigated, with the perpetrators tried and sent to jail.

The Obama administration can claim success. They were able to stretch out their response to the investigation to the point that with just months to go in Obama's term, no one cares if the facts of the case are revisited or not. They conducted a classic Washington cover-up campaign that did as it was supposed to do: it protected the principals – Obama and Holder – from being held accountable for their stupidity and criminal activity.

They can still be prosecuted under a Trump Administration.
Arming foreign drug cartels is not bad policy, it is criminal.
The complicit complacent “US” Congress would not
care if Obama was arming al Qaeda or using the
IRS to attack conservatives.
The “US” Congress would not even care if Obama
was circumventing their authority, as long
as they, their families and staff remain EXEMPT.
A president left office for much, much, much, much, much less.
The federal “governemnt” is gunthugs...

Richard Nixon was a saint and a man of upstanding integrity compared to Obama and his cronies.
He'd better be ordering the release of emails that have already been produced to the Court. Otherwise, a search of the files will show them to have been misplaced or accidentally erased.
People in the Nixon administration went to jail for less.
FAR less.
Yeah, but those in the Nixon Administration were honkies!
Since the same oligarchs who own Barry Soetoro own the Congress critters, the one needing to be impeached will skate on all criminal activity. Welcome to Amerika of the 21st century, slouching along from the 20th century.
So what else is new?
I do, for what it's worth.
It should not be forgotten that the State Department must approve all foreign weapon transfers.
No reason to go to those lengths to hide something unless there's something really bad to be hidden.
Yep, but you need about 10,000 more "much" words.
Me, too.
The stories are about a scandal with not much information because it is mass murder by obama and others.

Trump will do it!
Having held Holder in contempt of Congress, why don’t they issue an arrest order to the Sgt. of Arms and have the sob arrested the next time he’s in D.C. I think they have that power and it would send a hell of a message that the criminal elite of the Democrat party doesn’t have immunity from the law.
