The deadly-but-forgotten government gun-running scandal known as “Fast and Furious” has lain dormant for years, thanks to White House stonewalling and media compliance. But newly uncovered e-mails have reopened the case, exposing the anatomy of a coverup by an administration that promised to be the most transparent in history.

“At least 20 other deaths or violent crimes have been linked to Fast and Furious-trafficked guns.”

A federal judge has forced the release of more than 20,000 pages of emails and memos previously locked up under President Obama’s phony executive-privilege claim. A preliminary review shows top Obama officials deliberately obstructing congressional probes into the border gun-running operation.

Fast and Furious was a Justice Department program that allowed assault weapons — including .50-caliber rifles powerful enough to take down a helicopter — to be sold to Mexican drug cartels allegedly as a way to track them. But internal documents later revealed the real goal was to gin up a crisis requiring a crackdown on guns in America. Fast and Furious was merely a pretext for imposing stricter gun laws.

Only, the scheme backfired when Justice agents lost track of the nearly 2,000 guns sold through the program and they started turning up at murder scenes on both sides of the border — including one that claimed the life of US Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

While then-Attorney General Eric Holder was focused on politics, people were dying. At least 20 other deaths or violent crimes have been linked to Fast and Furious-trafficked guns.

The program came to light only after Terry’s 2010 death at the hands of Mexican bandits, who shot him in the back with government-issued semiautomatic weapons. Caught red-handed, “the most transparent administration in history” flat-out lied about the program to Congress, denying it ever even existed.

Then Team Obama conspired to derail investigations into who was responsible by first withholding documents under subpoena — for which Holder earned a contempt-of-Congress citation — and later claiming executive privilege to keep evidence sealed.

But thanks to the court order, Justice has to cough up the “sensitive” documents. So far it’s produced 20,500 lightly redacted pages, though congressional investigators say they hardly cover all the internal department communications under subpoena. They maintain the administration continues to “withhold thousands of documents.”

Even so, the batch in hand reveals the lengths to which senior Obama operatives went to keep information from Congress.

The degree of obstruction was “more than previously understood,” House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Jason Chaffetz said in a recent memo to other members of his panel.

“The documents reveal how senior Justice Department officials — including Attorney General Holder — intensely followed and managed an effort to carefully limit and obstruct the information produced to Congress,” he asserted.

They also indict Holder deputy Lanny Breuer, an old Clinton hand, who had to step down in 2013 after falsely denying authorizing Fast and Furious.

Their efforts to impede investigations included:

Devising strategies to redact or otherwise withhold relevant information; Manipulating media coverage to control fallout; Scapegoating the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) for the scandal.

For instance, a June 2011 e-mail discusses withholding ATF lab reports from Congress, and a July 2011 e-mail details senior Justice officials agreeing to “stay away from a representation that we’ll fully cooperate.”

“Though Obama prides himself on openness, transparency and accountability, the behavior of his administration belies such lofty principles.”

The next month, they went into full damage-control mode, with associate Deputy Attorney General Matt Axelrod warning an ATF official that providing details about Fast and Furious “strikes us as unwise.”

Then in late August 2011, another e-mail reveals that Holder had instructed his staff to have an official at ATF “close the door to his office” to prevent information about the mushrooming scandal from leaking.

Talking points drafted for Holder and other brass for congressional hearings made clear that Justice intended to make ousted ATF officials the fall guys for the scandal.

“These (personnel) changes will help us move past the controversy that has surrounded Fast and Furious,” Assistant Attorney General Ron Weich wrote in August 2011.

In an October 2011 e-mail to his chief of staff, moreover, Holder stated that he agreed with a strategy to first release documents to friendly media “with an explanation that takes the air out” of them, instead “of just handing them over” to Congress.

“Calculated efforts were made by senior officials to obstruct Congress,” Chaffetz fumed.

“Over the course of the investigation,” he recounted, “the Justice Department has provided false information, stonewalled document requests, produced scores of blacked-out pages and duplicate documents and refused to comply with two congressional subpoenas.”

Though Obama prides himself on openness, transparency and accountability, the behavior of his administration belies such lofty principles. “Transparency should not require years of litigation and a court order,” Chaffetz pointed out.

Obama insists Fast and Furious is just another “phony” scandal whipped up by Republicans to dog his presidency. What does his heir apparent Hillary Clinton think?

The anti-gun zealot has been silent on the gun-proliferation scandal. But then, she’s been busy sweeping subpoenaed e-mails under the rug of her own scandal.

I don't think sanders would do anything about this but maybe President Trump might?

It would be nice for once to see the so called other party actually attack the other party for its mafia style corruption!

Obama's administration is the most corrupt administration in my life time and maybe in the history of America. You would think the main stream news services would be having a field day but they just keep protecting them.

Obama, worst president ever!

Obama, most corrupt president ever!

Obama, most racist president ever!

Not a chance. He is a life-long denizen of the communist northeast,and his business relies on friendly contacts with Dim building inspectors,permit officials,health inspectors,etc,etc,etc.

He IS a creature of his environment.

Not even close. I have read that the Grant administration was corrupt on a level with ancient Rome,even though Grant himself was not thought to be in on the payoffs.

In modern times,Bathhouse Barry is a mere amateur with no imagination compared to LBJ,JFK,Bush x2,and now Clinton,possibly x2.

Not that he didn't try,but he is just too incompetent to do anything well. Probably because he is the end product of an Affirmative Action life that never required him to be anything other than not white,while insuring he would succeed in spite of being an idiot.

Pie in the sky I know but sometimes you just need a little hope! LOL

Im not sure why anyone respects authority when the top levels of government are so blatantly corrupt? It seems like every year federal government gets a little more open about its corruption. If it were not for the secondary media we would probably never know there is something corrupt going on.

Yep!

There are times when I just wonder what is keeping America moving despite all the federal government corruption and the damage it does to America? Then there are so many people demanding that we give central government more power via socialism? My thoughts is if you do not have a small arsenal at home you are crazy!

The sad,sad truth is the people that now control have a vested interest in keeping it plugging along as it exists right now because they are making billions from it. "Change" is the most offensive word they know of when it comes to government. The international bankers have literally spend decades and hundreds of billions of dollars since the 1920's to get the world to the point it is now,and they damn sure don't want to see their strangle grip on power diminished in any way.

Which is why they are now dedicated to bringing millions of illiterate 3rd world voters into the country who have never even heard of the "Bill of Rights",and wouldn't understand it or believe it if you told them. They CAN be relied on to vote for "more of the same" for any government that feeds,houses,clothes,and gives them free medical care without them having to do anything to "earn" it other than voting for more of the same,though.

Meanwhile,we are on the fast track for a return to the Feudal System.

I would say enough for everyone in the family to have at least 2 guns and know how to use them. With enough ammo to not want more.

Thats funny since they demand peons change all the time. Jobs and training to suit their needs. My father worked 40 years with the same company. I bet I have had 5 different careers and at least 2 times that in jobs. My exgirl will retire next year! Im happy for her but jealous and pissed! LOL
