I am sure I was not the only person disgusted by the whitewash of the Fast and Furious investigation by the Justice Department. Since they were investigating themselves, it was no surprise that the culprits named did not include either Eric Holder or his top staff. However, Heritage.org pointed out some facts about the investigation that I hadn’t considered.
Today’s Morning Bell at Heritage listed five ways the Justice Department report tarnishes the reputation of Eric Holder’s Justice Department.
The article lists the five ways:
1. The report singles out top Department of Justice officials for wrongdoing.
2. The report appears to contradict sworn testimony by Attorney General Eric Holder.
3. The report faults top Justice Department leadership with failing to adequately respond to the murder of an American border patrol agent.
4. The White House refused to disclose any internal communications to the inspector general.
5. The report fails to consider evidence that a top DOJ official knew the department misled Congress.
Please follow the link and read the entire article for the details on each charge. I suspect that sometime after President Obama leaves office (either in 2012 or 2016), the truth about Operation Fast and Furious will come out. Until then, the facts will continue to get muddied.
