Obama and Holder made purely political calculations that this scandal would be swept under the rug by the media, giving them plenty of room to stonewall investigators until after the 2012 elections. The first level of stonewalling involved denials that were indisputably proven false, and subsequently retracted.

Level Two involved claiming that the surrender of documents would imperil criminal prosecutions under way because of Operation Fast and Furious. That little tactic quietly dissolved when it became apparent there really weren’t any notable prosecutions coming out of the gun-walking program… which is one of its more curious attributes.
