In 1974, judges ruled that Richard Nixon could no longer conceal what was in the tapes made in the Oval Office. Some weeks later, Nixon stepped down.

Looks like Eric Holder isn't waiting that long.

Worse news is, now the list of documents will be released two weeks BEFORE the election - exactly what the Democrats feared most.

Judge Denies DOJ Request to Delay Release of Fast and Furious Document List

Katie Pavlich | Sep 25, 2014

U.S. District Court Judge John D. Bates has denied a request from the Department of Justice to delay the release of a list of Operation Fast and Furious documents being protected under President Obama's assertion of executive privilege.

"The government’s arguments for even more time are unconvincing," Bates said in his ruling. "[S]eventy-five days—plus another twenty-one, based in part on Judiciary Watch’s consent—is enough time for the government to prepare the index that this Court has ordered, given that this matter has been pending for over two years. The Court will therefore extend the Department’s Vaughn index submission deadline to October 22, 2014—and no further."

More phony scandals the democrats say.

If they were phony why is the Obama administration hiding documents for over 2 years? Maybe so more emails and hard drives will be lost?

he was a disaster in the 90's

holder never should have been appointed for a second shot at AG...he was a failure as AAG/temp AG under clinton

holder was and is a criminal

holder is a crook

Holder was involved with Clinton's last-minute pardon of fugitive and Democratic contributor Marc Rich. Holder advised Rich to circumvent standard procedures and to submit the pardon petition directly to the White House......An investigation led by House Government Reform Committee chairman Dan Burton concluded in a 2003 report covering 177 Clinton pardons that Holder had played a significant role in facilitating the Rich pardon, first by recommending the well-connected Jack Quinn to Rich's legal representatives, by failing to fully inform prosecutors of the pending pardon, and by eventually delivering a "neutral leaning favorable" opinion to Clinton from a position of authority

Holder was also involved in Clinton's decision to reduce the criminal sentences of 16 members of the Boricua Popular Army, an organization that has been categorized by the FBI as a terrorist organization. In July 1999, Holder recommended clemency to Clinton

holder should be in jail for his involvement at waco


the funniest thing about the gonzalas case is when Judge Napalitano confronted holder


Napolitano: When is the last time a boy, a child, was taken at the point of a gun without an order of a judge. Unprecedented in American history."

Holder: "He was not taken at the point of a gun."

Napolitano: "We have a photograph showing he was taken at the point of a gun."

Holder: "They were armed agents who went in there who acted very sensitively..."

then Napalitano continued on holder:

Napolitano: Tell me, Mr. Holder, why did you not get a court order authorizing you to go in and get the boy?

Holder: Because we didn't need a court order. INS can do this on its own.

Napolitano: You know that a court order would have given you the cloak of respectability to have seized the boy.

Holder: We didn't need an order.

Napolitano: Then why did you ask the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals for such an order if you didn't need one?

Holder: [Silence]

Napolitano: The fact is, for the first time in history you have taken a child from his residence at gunpoint to enforce your custody position, even though you did not have an order authorizing it.




holder is a crook. and should be in jail

I'll bet that the administration ignores the judge and the rule of law once again.

A remembrance from the past:
What is the difference between a private machine gun and a government machine gun? [Archive] - The Firing Line Forums

Quote:
The INS attack went pretty much as planned -- the agents grabbed six-year-old Elian Gonzalez and left shattered doors, a broken bed, roughed-up Cuban-Americans, and two NBC cameramen writhing in pain from stomach-kicks or rifle-butts to the head. The only problem: Associated Press stringer Alan Diaz snapped his famous photo.

Administration officials scrambled to provide Americans a deeper understanding of the stunning image. Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder asserted that the boy "was not taken at the point of a gun." When challenged about the machine gun, Holder explained: "They were armed agents who went in there who acted very sensitively." Holder denied that the raid occurred at night, even though 5:15 a.m. was more than an hour before sunrise. He asserted that "the agents knocked on the door once, they waited ten seconds, they knocked on the door a second time, waited 20 seconds, then at that time went into the house." Film footage clearly shows the agents storming the front door with a battering ram within a few seconds of entering the yard.

Not before he steps into the path of an 18-wheeler.

We shall see, but yes, they're great at stonewalling.
