Justice Department seeks dismissal of Fast and Furious lawsuit Oct 16th 2012, 01:45 Published October 15, 2012 Associated Press WASHINGTON –  The Justice Department is seeking dismissal of a lawsuit by the Republican-led House demanding that Attorney General Eric Holder produce records about the botched law enforcement probe of gun-trafficking called Operation Fast and Furious. President Barack Obama has invoked executive privilege and the attorney general has refused to turn over documents that might explain what led the Justice Department to reverse course after initially denying that federal agents had used a controversial tactic called gun-walking in the failed law enforcement operation. In a court filing Monday night, the department said that the Constitution does not permit the courts to resolve the political dispute between the executive branch and the House committee that is seeking the records.
