Holder has refused to provide the necessary documents for the investigations.
However, there is another arena in which stonewalling, or at least it's equivalent, could be utilized to prevent anything being done about the inexcusable problem at the southern border, which by extension, involves the guns rogue U.S. agents placed into the hands of drug cartels in order to pad statistics claiming that 'U.S. guns are arming the Mexican drug cartels.'
