Judge: 'Fast and Furious' lawsuit can proceed
(WASHINGTON TIMES) A federal judge ruled Monday evening that the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee could indeed proceed with a lawsuit against the Justice Department to access certain Fast and Furious documents.
Attorney General Eric Holder had attempted to dismiss the suit. But U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson turned aside that request, asserting the House claim: President Obama could not claim executive privilege and halt certain “Operation Fast and Furious” records from being turned over to Congress for review, Politico reported.
The decision came via a 44-page ruling.
This is good news for all those seeking truth and justice for Brian Terry. The wheels of justice turn slow—especially if they are as misaligned as they appear to be at the moment.
