Arizona Launches State Investigation into Fast and Furious
 Meanwhile, the Arizona legislature seems to have tired of the obstructionism of the Obama Administration, and has decided to launch their own investigation of Operation Fast and Furious to determine if DOJ officials committed felonies under Arizona state law. They intend to return their findings by the end of March, which would seem to impose some constraint on how much longer DOJ Inspector General Cynthia Schendar can delay publishing the IGs findings.The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) came out with a statement in support of the Arizona legislatures move. The state of Arizonas decision to launch a probe into this botched program is clearly warranted and underscores the serious nature of what took place with this deadly federally-run law enforcement program, said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ. Combined with a Congressional investigation thats still underway, the Arizona probe represents an important opportunity to get to the bottom of what really happened with this flawed program. The Justice Department has been less than forthcoming about its role in the failed operation, and were hopeful the Arizona investigation will produce answers something that both Arizona citizens and the American people deserve.
