After resisting for years, the Justice Department finally sent Congress 64,280 pages of documents involving the botched Fast and Furious investigation on Tuesday, the Washington Times reports.
The disclosure prompted Republicans to assert that President Obama was acknowledging he had withheld the documents illegally by claiming executive privilege.
The House of Representatives even sued for the documents’ release.
“When Eric Holder wants to know why he was the first attorney general held in criminal contempt of Congress, he can read the judge’s order that compelled the production of 64,280 pages that he and President Obama illegitimately and illegally withheld from Congress,” said Rep. Darrell E. Issa, California Republican and chairman of the House Oversight Committee.
The administration is not backing down from its position that the documents did not need to be released.
time to crowd source these documents all in the name of govt transparency..just like NASA did in scouring for data on the red planet. they can release a million documents but if they are holding back the one that contains the smoking gun then its not full disclosure.
