It's
about time!
about time!
If outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder thought that
tendering his resignation to President Barack Obama would be all it took to get
him off the hook for six years of irregularities in the Department of Justice,
he had another thing coming.

Rep. Sean Duffy, the
new chair of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee of the House
Financial Services Committee, has planned hearings into the DOJ’s Operation Choke Point starting early in February.
new chair of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee of the House
Financial Services Committee, has planned hearings into the DOJ’s Operation Choke Point starting early in February.
And his subcommittee may not be the only one.
Duffy told Fox News
last week that the operation, originally targeted at shutting down fraudulent
business practices by targeting the businesses’ ability to obtain credit, has
been altered by the Obama administration into a tool to be used against any business of which the administration does not
approve. “What they’ve done is they put
short-term lenders out of business, gun dealers out of business, ammunition
manufacturers out of business,” Duffy said. “Because in America, if you
can’t bank, you can’t do business.”

One example would be
Mike Schuetz, who opened an account with Heritage Credit Union for his gun store in
Hawkins, Wis.
Schuetz said that only a week after opening the account, credit union officials
informed him that “pressure from the National Credit Union Administration”
was forcing them to close it, according toBreitbart.

The CEO of Heritage Credit Union later denied that
claim, saying that the NCUA had nothing to do with the account closure, but
Schuetz said that he had “extensive audio recordings” of credit union employees
that prove otherwise.

Schuetz went on to
open an account at another institution, one that was not regulated by the NCUA.
But Duffy warned that option would only remain feasible until other Obama
administration regulatory agencies get on board with the way that Holder has
used Operation Choke Point to target businesses on the basis of his own morality.

“The story of Mike
Schuetz is only the tip of the iceberg,” Brian Wise of the United States
Consumer Coalition told Breitbart. “We believe there are thousands of
other victims who have lost their bank accounts due to Operation Choke Point
but don’t realize that this is the reason.”

Breitbart also
reported that Duffy’s committee may not be the only one to hold hearings on the
DOJ’s Operation Choke Point, citing to unnamed sources, but did not
provide specifics.

It’s hard to believe
that an agency of the federal government would be used for such specific
targeting of businesses of which President Obama and Eric Holder did not
approve.

It’s not as if other agencies had been used for such targeting, like, say, the
IRS, or …
IRS, or …
Oh … wait.
