A statue is a wonderful honor and tribute few of us can ever expect. The Terry family would rather have their son and brother back. In the absence of that, isn’t it time they had … the truth? [Brian Terry Foundation Facebook photos]
“Obama relents in fight over Fast and Furious documents,” Politico reported. “Four years after asserting executive privilege to block Congress from obtaining documents relating to a controversial federal gun trafficking investigation, President Barack Obama relented Friday, turning over to lawmakers thousands of pages of records that led to unusual House votes holding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt in 2012.”
“The Obama administration has decided to turn over more internal documents in a long-running legal fight with House Republicans over executive privilege and a botched gunrunning probe called Fast and Furious,” The Wall Street Journal echoed. “A Justice Department spokesman said the agency ‘believes the information being provided to the committee, along with material previously disclosed, fully satisfies the committee’s interest in understanding the department’s response to congressional inquiries regarding Operation Fast and Furious.’”
“Obama Administration Finally Complies with Judge’s Order to Provide Fast and Furious Documents to Congress,”The Blaze assured readers. And the talking point was parroted on cites as supposedly diverse as The Atlantic, Breitbart, CNN and TownHall.com, and numerous other media outlets.
At long last a victory for truth and justice, right? Not so fast.
