The House has been devoting much of its legislative session this Thursday to
debating Holder's role in "Operation Fast and Furious," which was aimed
at following guns being purchased in Arizona to determine whether they
flowed into Mexico for use by drug cartels. The Obama administration has done little but "hide, deny and stonewall"
in dealing with a House probe of Fast and Furious. It's actions are compared to former President Richard Nixon's during the 1970s Watergate
scandal. The fight between the Obama administration and House Republicans is
over the release of a series of documents dating from February 4, 2011. If Congress ultimately finds that they were hiding some important information related to Fast and Furious, the high-stakes fight could jeopardize the jobs of some top Justice Department officials. It's possible emails and other communications being withheld might spell out more
detail on the role of top Justice Department officials, especially after
they discovered the law enforcement operation had gone bad.
