The Justice Department has previously been held in contempt by Congress and hit with increasingly tough court orders from a federal judge over its obstruction of efforts to secure evidence in the notorious Fast and Furious operation. Many have accused Attorney General Eric Holder of acting blatantly political in withholding documents to protect Democrats from backlash before the elections. As if to prove that view, the Justice Department waited until late on election eve to finally dump more than 64,000 pages of documents congressional lawmakers have been seeking for years. The timing was almost taunting in its impact. Guaranteeing that the content could not be viewed before people voted, the Obama Administration’s long obstruction resulted in this troubling image of a politically timed release. The Administration previously admitted that it would not discuss its plans for unilateral immigration action until after voters had gone home from the polls.
The election eve dump to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee involved 64,280 pages withheld for years by the Obama Administration.
The Justice Department has made a series of statements about the operation that proved false and Holder has been personally accused of false statements.
The document dump contains heavily redacted copies which will likely continue the fight over the right of the oversight committee to review the evidence in the operation.

Don’t put people into boxes. Squeeky is an iconoclast. I like iconoclasts. I am one.
Squeeky does not strike me as particularly religious. She likes liquor.
Nick – the Catholic Church has no prohibition against alcohol.
Did the church lady look like Dana Carvey?
Yes, there are young right wing women, but they often isolate in their bible churches and do not associate with “nonbelievers”. I lived four blocks from a mega church.This is not a type I am unfamiliar with. I was literally chased down the street by one of them.
My tongue is bleeding profusely.
SWM, everyone gets to be what they want on the Internet, lol.
There are people here who I know are not who they claim to be. I don’t think I would go around poking the bear.
SWM, I don’t doubt your Texas cred, SWM. But Squeeky’s stance on other topics “don’t ring true” to you regarding her being a young woman. On that you are simply wrong. There are MANY young women w/ Squeeky’s views. You simply don’t associate w/ them. Ideologues on both ends isolate themselves. They like echo chambers. They like to live amongst their own. They love to vacation amongst their own. Hell, I’ve spent many vacations on MV. I live in Madison. I see it. You don’t.
She needs to do more research on the area. 😉
“Orman the Independent.” Sell that snake oil somewhere else. I ain’t buying it. I know a lotta folks in Johnson County who have known Orman for years. He is a liberal Dem. But, he lost, yesterday’s news.
nick, I lived in Texas for a long time and her descriptions of Austin and the Hill Country do not ring true.
Paul, A Republican would say that on the air. But, I’m betting it was a Dem pretext. We are seeing scorched earth here and elsewhere. Their Emperor is standing w/o clothes in the WH. They need to protect him by any means necessary.
Annie, Seems like the voters did not want new faces like Allison Grimes and Orman, the independent. They wanted to turn to the nearly 80 year old white men that are captives of K street. Probably happened because the voters this year skewed elderly.
SWM, It is amusing to me to hear you cast aspersions against Squeeky. You have said that you also don’t believe she is a young woman because you know of no young women who hold her views on certain topics. It couldn’t be your insularity, could it? Trust me on this one, you never know if what people say is true!! I had a weekend blogger trying to smear me last night. And, EVERYTHING I say here I would say under oath. The anger of hardcore Dems is palpable and it is rearing its ugly head. You are better than that. Some of your buddies here are not. Regarding the veracity of people here, I bite my tongue until it bleeds. ‘Nuff said.
Paul C, Of course.
Racism is despicable, yes indeed.
Rush Limbaugh claimed to be a Hillary supporter in 2008 because he thought Obama was more electable. He told his listeners to vote for Hillary in the primaries. I don’t trust them. Not sure she is Texan either after the remarks about Austin and the hill country.
Dems have people call on the Rep line and be vile, and vice versa. That’s what this C-Span call probably was. The Cult Leader has been exposed as lawless and incompetent. The last defense is RAAACISM. We’ll be hearing a lot of that from the cultists. Despicable.
SWM,
Yep, I have been. But what’s disturbing is that she’s a Hillary supporter at the same time. There’s that cognitive dissonance again.
Annie – learned two new words “cognitive dissonance” good for you.
Just read the poetry round here, Annie. 🙂
SWM,
I’d love to see them try to impeach Obama over Executive order on Immigration Reform. They could kiss the Hispanic vote goodbye forever, plus they already lost the black vote.
