TREY GOWDY UNLEASHES – DROPS NUKE ON BARACK OBAMA
The Department of Justice dropped a bomb on Barack Obama on Wednesday when it agreed to
hand over to Congress confidential records from the former president's failed gun-trafficking
operation conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives known as
"Fast and Furious."
Using these documents, it appears that Rep. Trey Gowdy finally has enough evidence to
make his move against Obama.
The Daily Caller reported that Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder had previously
refused to hand over the documents that were requested by the House Committee on Oversight
and Government Reform, which former Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz at the time called
"critical" to pursuing the investigation.
Obama's "Fast and Furious" operation somehow allowed nearly 2,000 firearms to find
their way into the hands of Mexican cartel members.
"The Department of Justice under my watch is committed to transparency and the rule
of law," Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement.
"This settlement agreement is an important step to make sure that the public finally
receives all the facts related to Operation Fast and Furious."
Amanda Gonzalez, Gowdy's communications director, released a statement from the congressman
saying that the Oversight Committee "seeks all relevant facts so we can learn from the
mistakes made by the Justice Department."
"We have a responsibility to uncover why they worked so hard to hide this information
from the Committee, the family of Brian Terry, and the American people," she added.
Back in 2012, Gowdy slammed Obama for invoking his executive privilege to hide the truth
about Fast and Furious.
"The assertion of executive privilege is legally compromised and calculated solely
to delay Congress from exercising its constitutional responsibility to provide oversight," Gowdy
said at the time.
"The President claims he knew nothing about Fast and Furious prior to Agent Brian Terry's
murder and no one at the Department of Justice has suggested the President was part of the
drafting of a demonstrably false letter dated February 4, 2011, to a committee of congress."
"So, my question to the President is: What are you asserting privilege over?"
Gowdy continued.
"Did you know about Fast and Furious before Brian Terry's murder?
Did you approve the operation?
Did you participate in the drafting of a false letter to congress?
Unless the answer to all of those questions is yes, there is no matter overwhich the President
can assert privilege.
It is merely the latest ploy to delay the investigation."
It certainly seems like the walls are finally closing in on Obama!
