More Cover Up By Obama's DOJ

More and more information is coming out about the role of Eric Holder and President Obama's justice department.
From Foxnews: The Justice Department is obstructing the congressional investigation of a U.S. law enforcement operation intended to crack down on major weapons traffickers on the Southwest border, according to the embattled leader of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Ken Melson, the acting director of the ATF, lobbed the accusation when he sneaked in for an interview with congressional investigators on July 4, two days ahead of his scheduled interview with the inspector general about the operation known as "Fast and Furious," Fox News has learned.
"If his account is accurate, then ATF leadership appears to have been effectively muzzled while the DOJ sent over false denials and buried its head in the sand," Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said in a letter Tuesday to Attorney General Eric Holder. "That approach distorted the truth and obstructed our investigation."
The Justice Department is reportedly looking to oust Melson, who has been acting ATF director since April 2009, as the agency deals with its biggest scandal in nearly two decades. Andrew Traver, who was tapped in November by President Obama to become the permanent ATF director, could be named as acting director until the Senate acts on his nomination, sources have said.

Remember, a gun used in Fast and Furious killed a United States Border Patrol agent. And now the Obama administration is covering up and foot dragging this information.
And this information coming out today is not coming from some outside the government or a Tea Party politician. This information is coming from an Obama appointee.
It is horrible that a police officer was killed in Fast and Furious, but the cover up is usually what gets politicians.
Could it be that Obama=Nixon?
