On Thursday, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia offered a ruling that will allow Americans greater insight into the Fast and Furious scandal and the Obama Administration that has repeatedly promised to operate as a model of transparent government.
Thanks to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by the government watchdog group Judicial Watch, the court ruled on Thursday that documents that have previously been withheld from Congress under a flimsy pretense of executive privilege must be turned over to Congress.
“Once again, Judicial Watch has beat Congress to the punch in getting key information about another Obama scandal – this time, the Fast and Furious outrage,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “A federal court has ordered the Obama administration to produce information that could, for the first time, provide specific details who in the administration is responsible for Fast and Furious lies to Congress and the American people. This is a battle that put Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, saw Nixonian assertions of executive privilege by Barack Obama, and a hapless Congress in face of all this lawlessness. Finally, we may get some accountability for Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and the countless others murdered as a result of the insanely reckless Obama administration program.”

So how many hard drives will we hear crashed this time?
I have a feeling what existed when this fight began won't be anything like what is handed over in the end.

Obama is a criminal, so is Holder. That said, so were Bush and Cheney and I'm not talking about quasi criminals.... I'm talking about full blown, domestic terrorist, treasonous criminals.
Those documents you are mentioning will never be seen as they once existed because if they were, well, they just can't have that. For one moment pretend they were, who exactly is going to arrest the head of the DoJ and the POTUS?
There is no precedent for it, it would set the stage for a coup or mass anarchy. My God, I can't imagine the full ramifications although I would be willing to deal with it to see a measure of justice done to these cowards.
