Holder: If we could maybe just stay those F&F docs indefinitely, thatd be great
by Erika Johnsen
January 18, 2013
As President Obama searches for ways to suggest and further enforce federal laws that he supposes will have some kind of a mitigating effect on gun violence, his Most Transparent Administration, Evah is still trying to block Freedom of Information Act requests that might possibly puncture the well-orchestrated smokescreen surrounding the gun violence that they directly perpetrated. Perfect.
Breitbart has the scoop on the Obama administration wondering whether we all just cant pretend that Operation Fast & Furious the deadly gunrunning scheme and the subsequent investigation, coverup, invocation of executive privilege, and Attorney General Eric Holder being held in contempt of Congress maybe just never happened at all. If we could sweep this whole thing under the rug and just go about our business, that would be really super awesome, guys:
Attorney General Eric Holder and his Department of Justice have asked a federal court to indefinitely delay a lawsuit brought by watchdog group Judicial Watch. The lawsuit seeks the enforcement of open records requests relating to Operation Fast and Furious, as required by law.
Judicial Watch had filed, on June 22, 2012, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking all documents relating to Operation Fast and Furious and specifically [a]ll records subject to the claim of executive privilege invoked by President Barack Obama on or about June 20, 2012.
The administration has refused to comply with Judicial Watchs FOIA request, and in mid-September the group filed a lawsuit challenging Holders denial. That lawsuit remains ongoing but within the past week President Barack Obamas administration filed whats called a motion to stay the suit. Such a motion is something that if granted would delay the lawsuit indefinitely.
