Poor Judgment

The Justice Department has turned over many of the documents in the case but the committee wants more. There also is the allegation that the department gave Congress false information.

The House could vote in the coming week on whether to accept the committee’s vote.

The committee believes the Justice Department and the White House are trying to avoid an embarrassing situation. The Obama people do not want a scandal that would harm the president’s re-election chances.

We don’t know all of the particulars in the “Fast and Furious” operation but it seems poor judgment was used in the “follow the guns” plan to get drug lords. Execution of the plan apparently left something to be desired. The House panel wouldn’t have voted to place the attorney general in contempt if there had been more cooperation. By refusing to turn over more documents leads one to believe a “cover up” is going on, and that raises many questions. Poor judgment!

The question is, just how bad was the operation of “Fast and Furious?”
