Mea culpa
Attorney General resignation follows Court setback for DOJ.
On June 28th, 2012, the U.S. House of Representatives voted on a bipartisan basis to hold the Attorney General in contempt of Congress for refusing to produce Operation Fast and Furious documents subpoenaed the previous year. The parallel civil contempt case is currently before a federal judge.
Judicial Watch announced that on September 23, 2014, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that by October 22, the Department of Justice (DOJ) must submit a “Vaughn index” listing Fast and Furious materials Judicial Watch sought in its June 2012 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request and subsequent September 2012 FOIA lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. Department of Justice (No. 1:12-cv-01510)). A Vaughn index must: (1) identify each document withheld; (2) state the statutory exemption claimed; and (3) explain how disclosure would damage the interests protected by the claimed exemption.
Perhaps now we will be able to get to the whole truth behind the illegal gun-running operation that facilitated the murder of U.S. Border Patrolman Brian Terry; the one known as "Operation Fast and Furious."
The AG's ouster is yet another reminder that trying to manipulate the justice system will end in defeat for the person who tries it — as well it should if the system is sound.
REMINDER: "Social engineering", such as that attempted in the landmark Zimmerman "trial" and addressed in the clip below, has no place in our justice system.
