#1 "In September 2012, the Justice Department's inspector general released a report faulting 12 department employees for failures related to the operation. The report vindicated Holder, concluding he neither conceived the operation nor attempted a cover-up."

translation:
The IG in 2012, guessing that Obama would be President for 4 more years and figuring that the investigation documents would never be seen found 12 fall guys to take the blame."

#5 Small arms and ammunition were only provided to the....moderate cartels. The release of additional project 'Crossfire Hurricane' information could compromise national security.

#8 Release might help the cause of transparency if it gets reported by the MSM. Transparency might prevent future CFs. It is doubtful that anyone will go to jail although they should. As F & F was a backdoor attack on the 2nd Amendment.

If history were written honestly, the BO admin. ought to be known as the "Gangster Government," the " Deepstate Grand Rip-Off" or "BO's Corruptacracy." I don't think any of these phrases accurately captures the magnitude of criminality and underhandedness that has gone on. Maybe someone here has a good name for what happened during the past 8 yrs? This goes back beyond the last 8 years into other admins.--not all on Hussein.

#11 Baraq did everything he could to hurt this country. He did it deliberately and with malice.
