Scandal: The Justice Department has sealed court records detailing the circumstances of a border patrol agent's murder by a Mexican drug cartel, including the fact U.S. agents were being hunted with U.S.-supplied weapons.

The murder of Border Patrol Agent Bryan Terry by Mexican drug cartels with weapons provided by his own government is a national disgrace.

Attorney General Eric Holder, who professes being out of the loop regarding Operation Fast and Furious, the ATF program that got Terry killed, is doing his best to keep the American people from the truth.

How can this continued to be allowed? Sealed the court records. Obama wants his records sealed. What about 'transparecy'? What about OPEN GOVERNMENT? What about ACCOUNTABILITY? What about justice for Border Agent Bryan Terry and others?

What about truth and justice for THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?

There are lots of reasons to seal court records including testimony from covert agents and informants whose identities must be kept secret as well as details that would compromise any other ongoing investigations, prosecutions or other legal proceedings.

The reasons for records to be sealed are not always made available to the public, but they must be made available to multiple parties from various agencies to prevent abuse of power.

I agree Gloria! Not only did Holder seal the records but he didn't attend Bryan Terry's funeral or even speak to his family. Can you imagine the media outrage over this if GW Bush was president? But since it's Obama and his A.G. appointee....the media says nothing.

Likely because one of the guns "sold" to the mexican gangs by the Bush administration or The obama administration was used in the slaying.

Oh this is priceless. Here we go with the finger pointing at Bush again. Try to keep up here if you can and get your facts straight, the program initiated in Louisiana under Bush and Fast and Furious are two completely different and separate operations with two completely different and separate NON-RELATED end results. And it wasn't just one gun, it was THREE guns, and all three have been PROVEN beyond any shadow of a doubt to have came out of FAST AND FURIOUS, period, end of story, it's not even arguable, it's FACT.

No finger pointing at Bush on this one, this one is 150% in Obama's and Holder's ball game.

This happen in both administrations to ignore it is to show that you could careless about the truth and only want to smear obama.

I really enjoy the "water carry for obama" line when I clearly don't hide from the fact that Obama did it too.

    Chris, yes, there are a few things that may need to remain sealed- like revealing agents in the field, but any good court, judge is able to do this, and RECORDS do not need to be sealed, in an attempt to bypass an investigation. Would you receive this treatment, if you had an issue for which you were being investigated/prosecuted? Never! This is beyond unacceptable!!

    CaptainObviousSays:, and I agree: Justice at election time, if not before. How much can go forward here, now? 2012!!

    I also vote to not re-elect any incumbent politician that is not representing AMERICANS!

    There's a lotta money involved and it tends to form an entrepreneurship among federal officials and politicians. Hence corruption. Happens a lot with supplemented, tax free money. Been that way for a long time now.

    What about 'transparecy'? What about OPEN GOVERNMENT?

    You know this is the federal government you're talking about, right? It hasn't been transparent in a very long time. Good luck finding a president that will ever implement such a policy. What you heard is what most of us hear from any politician who promises anything just for expediency.

    What about ACCOUNTABILITY?

    Did I mention this was the federal government you're talking about?

    What about justice for Border Agent Bryan Terry and others?

    There will never be enough justice for that. A sad and terrible fact about this whole tragedy. What you've witnessed is called being expendable. Every federal law enforcement agent now knows their place in the order of things.

    What about truth and justice for THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?

    Again: This is the federal government and politicians you're referring to.

    Go figure, our attorney general is a crook. F&F was nothing less then an arms deal between elements within the federal government and the Mexican terrorist. Gee, I wonder why he wont release those, its mind boggling isn't it?

    Crook is hardly expressive enough. The American people are once again being given the shaft, the run-around, the cover up, complicit behavior is here again. Who is it that all involved here, outside of protecting names and faces in the field, are going to get a 'free pass', when Bryan Terry and family did not? When we can see a cover up, and we are told... now, just be nice little tax payers and shut up? ...Just look the other way, and in two years, this will all be behind us, too????

    There is a lot at play here on the Fast and Furious issue that would reason why those documents were sealed, and the act implies secrecy by the Obama Administration, Holder.

    Its Campaign season. Clearly would be detrimental to the Obama Campaign. So really nothing will go to trial or made public anytime soon, or ever.

    Absolutly, should any investigation information be made public on the Fast and Furious issue, or any other real evidence revealed about Cartel operations and violence that has already spilled over the border a long time ago, it would clearly undermine the efforts of the Obama Administration to allow the border to go unsecured.

    Even though there is an investigation by Congress into this issue, you must remember who is in charge of the DOJ, and what Administration he is a part of. It's no secret Holder, Obama, and Napolitano have taken it upon themselves to re-write immigration laws, and re-define border security to fit their own objectives.

    Vote them out in 2012!

    Could this be a cover-up on the part of the "most transparent" administration in history?

    Are liberals happy with this latest debacle?

    Depends which liberal you ask. I respect Fejj's statement that "No, they are not happy, but they are hoping it will go away..", but liberal or not, this is another travesty against the PEOPLE. Is it ever going to end? Are we, the citizens, ever going to be done with all the scams, lies, deceit, and when are we going to not be the ones holding the check? I am not for swearing, but if I were, this would be the time! WHEN are we done being left with the check!!?

    The only justice for the Terry family is that this lying POC AG will be removed from office. Clearly he is hiding the facts and what he knew...now they are "walking back" the their stories and falsehoods:

    This has been a coverup from the beginning.

    Holder needs to be fired, summarily.

    If he didn't know about the Fast and Furious program, he should have known, which makes him wrong in either case. Cover-up or negligence, both reason for dismissal. Allowing or being complicit in this program has resulted in death, and his actions or lack of it need to be punished. At his level that equals being booted out of office for negligence.

    You are right, either way- he either SHOULD have known, or is not being honest.
