A major report released Wednesday on the Operation Fast and Furious scandal faulted a range of federal agencies for the failed anti-gunrunning program — and has resulted in the resignation of one Justice Department official.

Jason Weinstein, the deputy assistant attorney general for the Criminal Division, is resigning in the wake of the Justice Department inspector general report on Fast and Furious

Recommends no criminal charges? :banghead:

Absurd. Those who planned this operation wanted to subvert the constitution and got people killed. The best they and anyone who helped run or cover up F&F should hope for is life in prison instead of being executed as traitors and murderers.

Can't say I'm surprised that the IG at the DOJ recommends that the DOJ not file charges against the DOJ after the DOJ conducted a full investigation of the DOJ
http://www.justice.gov/oig/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Justice Department (DOJ) inspector general says (DOJ's)ATF and U.S. attorneys (at the DOJ)failed to balance risks and rewards in effort.

The (DOJ) Inspector General, after Inspecting the (DOJ) recommends no criminal charges be filed by the Justice Dept (DOJ) against anyone at the (DOJ)

This reeks of "We investigated ourself and we're ok, now tell people to vote because no one important knew anything and we'll stick to that story and blame some guys we can pay off, no one will find out until they uncover Obama's college records.

Sad but true, you have to joke about it because if you don't it will wreck your health.

New IG report today that accuses the AG office of leaking confidential documents to smear F&F whistleblower...

Twitchy Link

IG Report: PDF Link
In sum, we found that Burke violated Department policy when he
provided the Dodson memorandum to Fox News reporter Levine without
Department approval, and that his explanations for why he did not
believe his actions were improper were not credible. We believe this
misconduct to be particularly egregious because of Burke’s apparent
effort to undermine the credibility of Dodson’s significant public
disclosures about the failures in Operation Fast and Furious. We further
believe that the seriousness of Burke’s actions are aggravated by the fact
that they were taken within days after he told Deputy Attorney General
Cole that he took responsibility for his office’s earlier unauthorized
disclosure of a document to The New York Times, and after Cole put him
on notice that such disclosures should not occur. Burke also knew at
the time of his disclosure of the Dodson memorandum that he was under
investigation by OPR for his conduct in connection with the earlier
disclosure to The New York Times. As a high-level Department official,
Burke knew his obligations to abide by Department policies and his duty
to follow the instructions of the Deputy Attorney General, who was
Burke’s immediate supervisor.
We found Burke’s conduct in disclosing the Dodson memorandum
to be inappropriate for a Department employee and wholly unbefitting a
U.S. Attorney. We are referring to OPR our finding that Burke violated
Department policy in disclosing the Dodson memorandum to a member
of the media for a determination of whether Burke’s conduct violated the
Rules of Professional Conduct for the state bars in which Burke is a
member.

So will Obama go after the leakers, like he's claiming to do with AP?

More like he'll continue to go after the whistleblowers. Dodson's been in limbo for years now, a pariah in the agency, along with anyone else that dared to speak up.
