And the walls just keep tumbling down around the Obama administration.   :popcorn:

BREAKING: Judge Orders DOJ to Release Fast and Furious a List of Documents Withheld From Congress Under Obama Executive Privilege Claim

Thanks to a Freedom of Information Act Lawsuit pursued against the Department of Justice by government watchdog Judicial Watch, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has ruled a list of documents being withheld from Congress under President Obama's claim of executive privilege must be turned over. Obama made the claim on the same day Attorney General Eric Holder was voted in criminal and civil contempt of Congress in June 2012. ...

... "Once again, Judicial Watch has beat Congress to the punch in getting key information about another Obama scandal – this time, the Fast and Furious outrage," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement. "A federal court has ordered the Obama administration to produce information that could, for the first time, provide specific details who in the administration is responsible for Fast and Furious lies to Congress and the American people. This is a battle that put Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, saw Nixonian assertions of executive privilege by Barack Obama, and a hapless Congress in face of all this lawlessness. Finally, we may get some accountability for Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and the countless others murdered as a result of the insanely reckless Obama administration program."..

Holder's already in contempt of Congress, so why would he oblige a court not friendly to the guy signing Holder's pardon?

I hear what you are saying, but I would like to believe that this is the time when there is so much focus on this administration by the American public that he can't get away with obstructing justice.   If not, the walls may not come tumbling down right away...but if Obama does leave office (God willing) I firmly believe that he and others will face prosecution.

All I hear are crickets from the redneck America stole our land crowd, because Holder essentially committed an act of War against Mexico.  The Bush Administration, at least, informed and updated the Mexican Government on the gun-sting status.

I suspect Holder & Co. are echoing the defiance of the Spartan king (Leonidas?): "Come and take them!"

That is a good question.  Does a tree falling in the woods make a sound  ?  Does a crime exist when the criminal just says "nuh-uh" and nobody cares or does anything about it  ?

At some point, hopefully somebody in the govt or judicial system just gets too embarrassed by the shame, and acts out of shame.

You thought it was bad having a serial criminal for a president   ?

Then came the whole govt not giving a shit.

Then came the president laughing and saying "charge me......my supporters will call you racist and burn the place down".

Just scary.  This Uganda / Mexico / North Korea style corruption and dysfunction.
