When Eric Holder ordered Justice Department Inspector General Cynthia Schnedar to begin an investigation of possible wrongdoing in Operation Fast and Furious it was with just one purpose in mind—enable the Attorney General and other DOJ officials to refuse to answer questions or provide documentation concerning the “gunwalking” debacle because there is an “ongoing investigation.” It’s a neat little legal trick the Obama regime has pulled on more than one occasion.
But although Holder used this dodge of his own creation to keep congressional committee members at bay for nearly a year,it appears the OIG report is just about ready to make its long overdue appearance. For Holder and his DOJ minions have telegraphed the fact that they might already have,to put it discreetly,“been privy” to information contained in the document.
And the reason this is a safe bet is that “three of the prime Bureau of Alcohol,Tobacco and Firearms players in the Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal have been relieved of their duties.”
Two of the three —William Hoover,former Deputy Director of the ATF and Mark Chait,former Assistant Director of Field Operations —had already been shuffled into new positions months ago. William McMahon,former Deputy Assistant Director of Field Operations,had not been part of that occupational shell game,but now joins Chait and Hoover on the sidelines,awaiting the final publication of the report which will publicly determine their ultimate fate.
That Holder was no doubt given advance notice of Schnedar’s findings is as unethical it is unsurprising. The two have been friends and work-mates for many years and are,of course,fellow leftists.
The real questions involve what will happen now. Will the OIG report come out immediately prior to Eric Holder’s February 2nd appearance before Darrell Issa’s House Oversight Committee? The timing would allow Holder to dazzle committee members with the honesty and efficiency of the DOJ,having dismissed three individuals who just happened to be mentioned by the Inspector General as bad eggs.
Does Holder hope that the message he is currently testing,that….
The GOP REALLY needs to make this ILLEGALITY an issue when campaigning against O'Bummer later.

Yes !
This crooked regime has GOT to be stopped. They do whatever They want,and to hell with the law- It's Just enough to skirt issues,by Holder playing "deaf,dumb and blind". He's using the "old Alinsky -Rules For Radicals- in causing enough confusion as to render your detractors "in a fog,and you get to pass whatever you want,before they KNOW,what HIT THEM". This is ALL so typical of the "Chicago-Style Thuggery"that these cheats practice. It is NOT acceptable and should NOT just stall Republicans- They better stand and scream over this one and the things Obama and Holder are doing.
