The New York Post<\/a> reported Saturday that thanks to a judge in Washington, D.C., the story of Justice Department obstruction in the investigation of Fast and Furious<\/a> is finally coming out.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

A federal judge has forced the release of more than 20,000 pages of emails and memos previously locked up under President Obama\u2019s<\/a> phony executive-privilege claim. A preliminary review shows top Obama officials deliberately obstructing congressional probes into the border gun-running operation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fast and Furious was a Justice Department program that allowed assault weapons \u2014 including .50-caliber rifles powerful enough to take down a helicopter \u2014 to be sold to Mexican drug cartels allegedly as a way to track them. But internal documents later revealed the real goal was to gin up a crisis requiring a crackdown on guns in America. Fast and Furious was merely a pretext for imposing stricter gun laws.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Only, the scheme backfired when Justice agents lost track of the nearly 2,000 guns sold through the program and they started turning up at murder scenes on both sides of the border \u2014 including one that claimed the life of US Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While then-Attorney General<\/a> Eric Holder was focused on politics, people were dying. At least 20 other deaths or violent crimes have been linked to Fast and Furious-trafficked guns.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article further explains:<\/p>\n

The degree of obstruction was \u201cmore than previously understood,\u201d House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Jason Chaffetz<\/a> said in a recent memo to other members of his panel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe documents reveal how senior Justice Department officials<\/a> \u2014 including Attorney General Holder \u2014 intensely followed and managed an effort to carefully limit and obstruct the information produced to Congress<\/a>,\u201d he asserted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They also indict Holder deputy Lanny Breuer<\/a>, an old Clinton hand, who had to step down in 2013 after falsely denying authorizing Fast and Furious.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Their efforts to impede investigations included:<\/strong><\/p>\n
