DOJ Investigates Itself, Clears Itself Of Wrongdoing.

From The Blaze via H/T Instapundit:

An internal investigation by the Department of Justice asserts there was no wrongdoing by the department in the controversial Operation Choke Point.

Operation Choke Point is run through the Department of Justice, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Consumer Financial Protection Board and targets how banks handle accounts with the gun industry, payday lenders, casinos, check cashers and debt collectors, among other businesses deemed as high risk by the government.

Brian Wise, a senior adviser to the U.S. Consumer Coalition, which opposes the operation, called the investigation “a farce.”

“If the administration was serious about an investigation, they wouldn’t have had the very agency that is being investigated conduct it,” Wise told The Blaze in a statement.

“When watchdog groups like the U.S. Consumer Coalition called for an independent investigation, the president proceeded to restrict the authority of the offices of inspectors general within his own administration,” Wise said. “This unprecedented move got little media attention and only proves to show that President Obama, in his final year in office, plans to continue these extra-legal programs and hide the truth. We believe Americans are smarter than that.”

The inspector general at the Justice Department and other inspectors general have complained to Congress that they are inhibited from carrying out investigations.

How convenient.
