The wheels of justice turn slowly, but they keep rolling along!
If you recall, on June 28, 2012, the U.S. House of Representatives voted on a bipartisan basis to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for refusing to produce Operation Fast and Furious documents subpoenaed the previous year. Then, 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.]
Then, following that court ruling requiring the production of withheld evidence (by October 22, 2014), Attorney Genera Eric Holder submitted his resignation.
Then, on November 20, 2014, Judicial Watch announced that it had received, from the Department of Justice (DOJ) on November 18, 2014, "10,112 documents, comprised of approximately 42,000 pages" pertaining to Operation Fast and Furious.
An inspection of the recent release has revealed that not only do the contents of these documents indicate culpability, but they explain the reason for Holder's abrupt resignation, and they serve to indict members of the Obama administration, along with some members of the media, as being complicit in their withholding information from Congress and the public.
