Issa Statement on Fast and Furious Developments

Statement

In response to breaking news that the Obama Administration is relenting in the fight over some documents relating to Fast and Furious, a controversial gun-walking scheme that was investigated by Congressman Darrell Issa as then-Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Congressman Darrell Issa released the following statement:

"After 4 years of objection and delay, President Obama has finally been forced to give up additional documents related to why senior Justice Department officials in his administration lied to Congress."

"What we need from the President is an explanation of why he felt these documents couldn't been seen by the American people and why there has been no real accountability for the officials involved. Was he protecting the failed gun-walking operation or the cover-up?"

"Unfortunately, the President has not yet fully complied with Congressional subpoenas. I am pleased to learn that the House of Representatives is continuing to prosecute the legal case against the President's claim of executive privilege until all documents related to the Fast and Furious investigation have been delivered."
