The Obama Administration's cover-up of Operation Fast & Furious continues to grow. The White House has sealed the court records that contain details on Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry's murder. Agent Terry was killed by a gun smuggled under Operation Fast and Furious.

Obama promised to hold those responsible for the botched operation accountable. But he's doing just the opposite. The people in charge of the operations have been PROMOTED or TRANSFERRED to other positions! The whistleblowers have all been DEMOTED or REASSIGNED to desk jobs!

FLASH: DoJ Dumps 2,000 pages of documents on House

The Department of Justice late Friday afternoon staged a “document dump” of some 2,000 pages related to the Operation Fast and Furious investigation, including some e-mail exchanges critical of Senator Charles Grassley, and one exchange that raises questions about what some Justice Department officials should have known was an erroneous statement in a Feb. 4, 2011 to Grassley.

Dear Friend of Freedom:
Have you ever had a traffic ticket, or have you ever fallen behind paying a bill?

Most Americans have, and if Mayor Michael Bloomberg gets his way, each of these harmless infractions will be grounds for denying your Second Amendment rights.

Parking ticket? No gun. Traffic ticket? No gun. Late on a bill? NO GUN.

Does Grassley’s latest barrage signal bad moon rising for Holder?

Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley’s two new blistering commentaries on Operation Fast and Furious and Attorney General Eric Holder’s curious lack of knowledge about that operation’s direct link to the slaying of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry last year may signal what awaits Holder next week when he is scheduled to appear before the House Judiciary Committee.
