Washington - The Justice Department under Barack Obama directed the FBI to drop more than 500,000 names of fugitives with outstanding arrest warrants from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, acting FBI deputy director David Bowdich testified Wednesday.
Fugitives from justice are barred from buying a firearm under federal law. But what is a fugitive from justice? That definition has been under debate by the FBI and the ATF.
According to The Washington Post, the FBI considered any person with an outstanding arrest warrant to be a fugitive. On the other hand, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives defined a fugitive as someone who has an outstanding arrest warrant and has crossed state lines.

And Obama, Holder and Lynch remain free from any of the problems they created. Our Attorney General Jeff Sessions continues to sit on his hands.
In March 2017 Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced he would recuse himself from investigations related to the 2016 presidential campaign including the alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election. Sessions made the announcement the day after he was sworn in as Attorney General and after advice from Obama lawyers in the Department of Justice. He betrayed the president. He knew when he was sworn in that he was going to recuse himself and the very next day he put the recusal in motion. He never told the president about that. And by the way he cited the regulation in his recusal, he cited the wrong law. It didn’t apply. And because of Sessions, President Trump and his voters/supporters are awaiting the results of what Special Counsel Robert Muller can did up against him.
I will be extremely surprised if Sessions fires the FBI's McCabe and denies him his pension, which I and many others think he should. There are those who are supposed to be knowledgeable and say to trust Sessions, he is doing a great deal of work behind the scenes. I have done that for over a year and my patience with him is gone.
