Another Friday DOJ document dump (F&F)

[burf]

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department on Friday provided Congress with documents detailing how the department gave inaccurate information to a U.S. senator in the controversy surrounding Operation Fast and Furious, the flawed law enforcement initiative aimed at dismantling major arms trafficking networks on the Southwest border.

1,364 pages to say "we lied". But then again, if they redacted as much as they did on the first docs they provided the Senate Judiciary Committee, it would be possible.

The longer they drag this out, the worse its gonna be.

1. More questions

Fast and Furious-- Agent Terry murdered because an FBI informant was a double agent. This is a real bombshell, if facts bear it out. It would explain why the judge sealed the case, including the motion for it to be sealed. Also, the likelihood that FBI and DEA knew the "rip crew" was out raiding that night, and didn't bother to tell Border Patrol.

The National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers has joined in the call for an Independent Counsel, over Operation Fast and Furious.

BP Agents aren't known for mincing words, and their statement lives up to that.

"...appalled and infuriated by what is coming to light about Operation Fast and Furious."

"We call it a scheme for we will not dignify it by calling it an investigation."

"The departures from acceptable investigative practices were many, but in short, ATF allowed and encouraged and in some cases apparently coerced, U.S. gun dealers, whom they license, to abet violations of federal gun control laws"

"Due to the number of agencies and the political and professional stakes involved, it is no surprise that, at best, the administration is being uncooperative in Congress' inquiries into the matter. At worst, it appears that a cover-up is underway. Normally, the Department of Justice and agency Inspectors General would look into what has gone on. However, the conflicts of interest and the high stakes make it nearly impossible to expect that any of those entities would produce and unbiased, truthful finding."

"That misdeeds, felonies, in fact, have been committed and condoned by government agents is incontrovertible. Now, we must find out who is responsible. To do otherwise would be a miscarriage of justice."
