Blaze AMERICA’S FREEDOM FIGHTERS –
A federal judge has ruled that President Barack Obama CANNOT use executive privilege to keep records on the Fast and Furious operation from Congress.
U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled Tuesday that the Department of Justice’s public disclosures about its response to the “gun walking” controversy undercuts Obama’s claim to executive privilege.
“There is no need to balance the need against the impact that the revelation of any record could have on candor in future executive decision making, since any harm that might flow from the public revelation of the deliberations at issue here has already been self-inflicted,” Judge Jackson wrote in her decision.
“The Department itself has already publicly revealed the sum and substance of the very material it is now seeking to withhold,” she said. “Since any harm that would flow from the disclosures sought here would be merely incremental, the records must be produced.”
Judge Jackson, who was appointed to the federal bench by President Obama, said she wasn’t questioning the propriety of Obama’s claim of privilege, but ruling that the claim could not be sustained in view of other information the Justice Department had released on the topic, chiefly an Office of Inspector General report released in September 2012, Politico reports.
The standoff over the records led to a House vote in June 2012 holding then-Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for failing to turn over the records. The House later initiated a lawsuit to try to force disclosure of the files. The case was repeatedly delayed in an unsuccessful effort to broker a settlement.
The Fast and Furious operation, in which 2,000 weapons were allowed to be illegally purchased for the alleged purpose of tracking them when they were brought into Mexico came into light after Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was murdered with one of the guns from the failed program.
It’s time to release the documents and arrest Holder and Obama. Do you remember what Holder told congress when they questioned him about Fast and Furious? He said you wouldn’t be picking on me and Obama if we were white. That started the whole racism problem we are having right now. It’s time for the race card to be put on the back burner and see that these corrupt officials answer for their crimes.
Honestly, the “Executive Privilege” is what I find most disturbing. All to often we hear of “White Privilege” being what is wrong with America but wake up folks- this is the real problem with our nation. Our CORRUPT GOVERNMENT.
Everyone knows they will do everything possible to destroy, redact and stonewall the release of all information because it reveals another Obama administration catastrophe. He has done nothing but take every action possible to disarm Americans while supplying weapons to our enemies, this is TREASON!
Hopefully the judge’s ruling will stand and we can finally get to the truth, the whole truth and NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH! The Terry family deserves closure and so does America!
God Bless.
