The Department of Justice has ended its Obama-era Operation Chokepoint initiative, which aimed to block some businesses, including firearm dealers and payday lenders, from having access to bank loans.

The department made the revelation in response to an inquiry from House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte Thursday.

In a letter to Goodlatte and ranking committee member John Conyers, Assistant Attorney General Stephen F. Boyd wrote that DOJ considers Operation Chokepoint a “misguided initiative conducted during the previous administration.”

Had no idea this was still going on.  I was under the assumption that it ended when the whole Fast and Furious mess blew up in Obama and Holder's face.

Good. It was so laughably illegal to deny legit businesses access to banks based on some moralistic decree of 'high risk,' a vague and nebulous term if there ever was one.

We are not a nation based on quasi-religious tribunals, despite how hard the leftists try to make it that way.

I bet the 'crats running it are just filing away the regulations and dreaming of another day when they can dust them off and try again.
