Buried under the numerous scandals that have plagued the administration in the years since, at least one federal judge still wants to get to the bottom of a federal gun-walking program that led to the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in 2010.

 

As CBS News reported, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives initiated an operation known as ‘Fast and Furious’ in 2009, allowing criminals to take possession of more than 2,000 dangerous weapons without proper governmental oversight or tracking. The following year, illegal immigrants carrying multiple weapons involved in the program fatally shot Terry near the Mexico border.

 

It was only after his death that an investigation into Fast and Furious began and the scandal received attention from media outlets nationwide.

 

Since then, the Obama administration has withheld various documents House investigators believe could be integral in ascertaining the scope of the ATF mission.

 

Sen. Chuck Grassley, who launched an initial investigation into the scandal, asserted that Obama must have been involved in the program considering his insistence that executive privilege allowed him to withhold the information.
