Slimy progressive liberal Democrats always manage to quit just before the sh*t is about to hit the fan. Many found Eric Holder’s sudden resignation today odd. Well now we know why. According to Breitbart, Holder’s resignation comes on the heels of another court ruling that the Justice Department must finally cough up documents about how Holder’s Justice Department lied to Congress and the American people about the Operation Fast and Furious scandal. Why am I not surprised?
Eric Holder’s resignation comes as DOJ forced to cough up Fast and Furious documents |
---|
The court ruling to which Fitton is referring is an order by a federal judge that by Oct. 22 the DOJ must provide Judicial Watch with a listing of the Fast and Furious documents the administration is hiding under Obama’s executive privilege—called a “Vaughn index.”
“A Vaughn index must: (1) identify each document withheld; (2) state the statutory exemption claimed; and (3) explain how disclosure would damage the interests protected by the claimed exemption,” Judicial Watch noted in its press release announcing the ruling on Thursday.
Fitton said that the resignation of the “disgraced Holder” is “past due accountability for Holder’s Fast and Furious lies, and I hope it brings some solace to the family of U.S. Border Patrol Brian Terry and the hundreds of innocent Mexicans likely killed thanks to the Holder Justice Department’s scheme that armed the murderous Mexican drug cartels.”
Fitton noted that Judicial Watch opposed Holder’s confirmation as Attorney General back in 2009, saying then that “Mr. Holder’s record demonstrates a willingness to bend the law in order to protect his political patrons.”
