Gunwalker: Holder Appears To Be Fast, Furious, and Finished
News documents indicate that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder more than likely perjured himself in congressional testimony about Operation Fast and Furious earlier this year.
Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News and William LaJeunesse of Fox News have been the only mainstream media reporters diligently working on the most important scandal in White House history, and it is no surprise that they concurrently released information indicating that the attorney general, who claimed in direct testimony on May 3 of this year in front of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that he first heard about Operation Fast and Furious “over the last few weeks,” had actually been briefed on the program in a memo by the director of the National Drug Intelligence Center almost a year earlier on July 5, 2010.
A copy of the heavily redacted weekly report posted by CBS News offers direct evidence that not only was the attorney general briefed on Operation Fast and Furious, but that he was briefed on it regularly and was well aware that the program was sending thousands of weapons into the hands of the Sinaloa cartel:
From July 12 through July 16, the National Drug Intelligence Center Document and Media Exploitation Team at the Phoenix Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCTDETF) Strike Force will support the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ Phoenix Field Division with its investigation of Manuel Celis-Acosta as part of OCDETF Operation Fast and Furious. This investigation, initiated in September 2009 in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Phoenix Police Department, involves a Phoenix-based firearms trafficking ring headed by Manual Celis-Acosta. Celis-Acosta and [redacted] straw purchasers are responsible for the purchase of 1,500 firearms that were then supplied to Mexican drug trafficking cartels. They also have direct ties to the Sinaloa Cartel which is suspected of providing $1 million for the purchase of firearms in the greater Phoenix area.
That excerpt stated what the task force would do in the near future, while the same language was used later in the report to show what the task force had done that week:
From July 6 through July 9, the National Drug Intelligence Center Document and Media Exploitation Team at the Phoenix Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCTDETF) Strike Force will support the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ Phoenix Field Division with its investigation of Manuel Celis-Acosta as part of OCDETF Operation Fast and Furious. This investigation, initiated in September 2009 in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Phoenix Police Department, involves a Phoenix-based firearms trafficking ring headed by Manual Celis-Acosta. Celis-Acosta and [redacted] straw purchasers are responsible for the purchase of 1,500 firearms that were then supplied to Mexican drug trafficking cartels. They also have direct ties to the Sinaloa Cartel which is suspected of providing $1 million for the purchase of firearms in the greater Phoenix area.
Attorney General Holder’s eventual criminal defense attorney is certain to state that the attorney general is provided with dozens of reports each week, and that is within the realm of reasonable doubt that he simply overlooked or did not remember the specifics of this memo.
Prosecutors would likely cast doubt on such a claim, citing the fact that the report was named Operation Fast and Furious, that it referred to the number of guns walked by the program at that time (1,500), and that it even noted how much they thought the Sinaloa cartel had budgeted for weapons ($1 million). They will then note that this information was cited twice in each weekly report for both current and future operations.
The prosecutors will more than likely be able to state with a great degree of certainly that Holder was provided this information in x number of weekly reports spanning y number of months in a report that only cites the most important National Drug Intelligence Center cases.
Eric Withholder is fast and furiously meeting his day of reckoning. He is of the Obama mold: protective pigmentation has given him a lifetime of privilege. Even now he probably thinks the race card will magically protect him and his shock troops headed by the lubricious Al Sharpton will ride to his rescue. But the game has changed. After almost two years of slashing at opponents with the race card it has been overused and overplayed. And the more it is used and falls on deaf ears, the more Americans speak out. That might be the only thing we have to grateful for coming from this group of outlaws in this administration.
I noticed in the military that the race defense never worked. This is because the prosecution simply stuck to the facts that said member did x at such-and-so time, at such-and-so place and here are the witnesses to testify to that. At no time during a court-martial or even when deciding article 15 action did race ever enter into the picture.
This is how, not only this case must be handled but any/all claims of racism must be dismissed by the court. This is also the way to handle the upcoming presidential campaign; By crucifying this administration on a complete mess of everything, citing chapter, stanza and verse of each and every failure and ignoring of the Constitution.
Race need never enter into the picture. The fact that Eric the Red (file) is driven by race hatred will become glaringly obvious to even the most casual observer is a given.
What was Holder thinking? These morons must know the AG position is not a lifetime appointment. Soon there will be adults controlling the Justice Dept once again, and the gunwalkers schemers and liars will be facing serious jeopardy to their freedom of movement. No doubt the “civil rights” division will be facing some serious scrutiny over the repeated perjury committed as to that matter as well. I also suspect the scores of hard left socialist idealogues hired by Holder will be given the boot in short order.
Unlike former President George W. Bush who refused to pardon “Scooter” Libby, the Chicago Thugs can be counted on to take care of their own. AG Holder will be pardoned by Obama on his last day in office (a fitting irony as Eric Holder was bag man for Marc Rich’s pardon). Tony Rezko will also be pardoned as he knows enough to put them all in jail.
That’s a two-edged sword.
A pardoned man cannot plead the 5th, so can be compelled to testify.
Re: “What was Holder thinking? These morons must know the AG position is not a lifetime appointment. Soon there will be adults controlling the Justice Dept once again…”
Remember, the scheme was concocted shortly after Obama was sworn in. Holder assumed that Obama would serve two terms, and that by the end of the second term their socialist plans would be so far along that a third and fourth term might even be possible – or at least a successor who would follow in Obama’s footsteps. They not only believe they are above the law, they believe(d) they would be able to rewrite the law in their favor and retain the reins of power in perpetuity. James Carville was then famously talking about 40 years of Democrat rule.
This came up in Mark Levin’s show this evening. Perhaps this scandal is now going to dawn in more general public discourse. How far up will the evidence go?
Who will the Special Prosecutor be? It is at last time for this call to go out and be heard, one would hope.
There is only one step higher than holder. If all those agencies were involed it had to come from the top.The whole scheme was probably concocted by a anti gun think tank before he was even elected. If hillary was elected shy would have implemented the scheme. Asault weapons in Mexico from US. must be baned to save lives!!!
Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200.
Is it now OK to shoot Holder at dawn? Right after a fair trial of course.
I’m just asking, as it appears he is full of Treason against these United States.
Actually it’s not okay to execute Holder. Unless he fails to name names.
If he wants to fall on his sword, then get me the chair they used on the Rosenbergs. I want to smell the fat fry. His Vienna sausage is gonna go to the weeny roast.
Plea bargain to life in prison if he names the names of who gave him his marching orders.
Send him to Mexico to stand trial for Conspiracy to smuggle weapons to the Drug Cartels
I like the ideal of sendindg him to stand trial in Mexico–now THAT would be justic
Amanda Knox and Berlusconi should marry each other–those two sex crazed demons are perfect together.
Do try to comment on the actual topic of this post.
+100000000
she kills her beautiful roommate, learns Italian in the most shady of ways and when she gets home she’s going to be a star thanks to Donald Trump. only in America.
Loved #9 Mama and Mr. Pellegrin’s comment on Knox. Out of context,yes. Bring her home and put her with Casey Anthony. They can pool their book and made for TV movies monies together and live like Queens. Everyone that dumped money into these two women for media blitzes should be standing in line for repayment starting with their broke parents.
They should do porn…together…
I’d pay for that
I’ll bet you would.
Maybe AG Holder is hoping that the Knox publicity will drown out F&F. After all the public cares more about Sex intrigue than perjured testimony. A sad comment on our “circuses”.
What else would you expect from Holder, after serving on the lap of Janet Reno (Ruby Ridge, Waco, etc.)
lap of Janet Reno
EEEEWWWWWWWWW ! ! ! ! ! !
The Gunwalker scandal seems poised to walk all over AG Holder. With a fast and furious tread.
Only after 2 inches of ice is found covering hades.
ARKYDOG
I Pray for the welfare and safety of those chosen to arrest and prosecute this case. The stakes involved reach to the top, besides, the history books will already be stained enough with the blood of this era.
One of my young college students was astounded when I explained Watergate. His comment was that Watergate seems almost innocuous compared to the stuff going on now. He’s right…Holder and OZero make Nixon look like a Boy Scout in comparison.
Only difference is that Captain Zero would say “I’m not a crook” with help from a teleprompter and with a smile on his face.
Both crimes involved assaults on the Constitution. But no one died due to Watergate. The same can’t be said for Gunwalker.
The other difference is that Nixon was loathed by the media and much of the public (myself included), whereas The One and those around him are broadly protected by the media.
In comparing Watergate to the travesties this current administration is doing is like a college prank to full scale criminal racketeering. The Watergate scandal didn’t really involve a lot of taxpayer money except for the investigative part of the Congress and special investigator and maybe cost not even a million dollars. The current administration has used trillions of taxpayer money and he continues to ask for more for his nefarious schemes. He thinks that renewable energy is the answer for the future, but cars, planes, and trains continue to run on fossil fuels. He goes around condemning congress for not passing his JOBS bill, when his regulations are killing jobs. ObamaCare was passed illegally, because no one read the bill, the bill wasn’t available to the public to read for 72 hours, and lastly; senators and reps were “bribed” to pass it.
The Watergate scandal, when it broke was in the news daily and on the front page. The Obama scandal(s) are very rarely mentioned or are buried deep in the newspaper, and if anybody points them out are identified as racist. Historically speaking Obama is the “bigger crook.”
1 – Bob, Richard Serrano of the L.A. Times has also been doing decent work on this story.
2 –
Sure enough. The end of this Fox News story quotes a staffer who says Holder is a very important man and a bizzy guy who can’t possibly read all the very very important and highly confidential multi-page memos that cross his large desk every single day of every single week. Attorney-Generalin’ is hard.
3 – I want to talk about these documents. Bob, you say they were “released.” It certainly looks that way, since they’ve been redacted. CBS News doesn’t say anything about the FOIA, only that they “obtained” the docs. I imagine documents could be redacted even if they’re being released to an internal requester without full clearance. So were these documents released to CBS, or released to someone else and leaked to CBS?
Curious, but the document dump mentioning the “wide receiver” operation, at least as reported in the LA times, gives it a time line starting in 2007, under the Bush Administration. In other word, the implication seems to be that guns were going south of the border under a republican administration and getting people killed. So the politics and implied WH threat is if you’re going to do democrats with a special prosecutor, you’d better be prepared to do republicans too. It’s sort the shared misery defense, we can call it a day or hang together.
gunwalker was started under bush in 2005 but there was, as far as I can tell, nothing crossing the border.I don’t agree with its existence but they did make arrests.
fast and furious is offshoot started by this administration.
Gunrunner was initiated in the Bush Administration, and was a program to interdict straw buyers. No guns were walked. Gun-walking in individual project like Fast and Furious and Wide Receiver only began occurring after Obama/Holder/Napolitano came to power. I suspect that if what you say is correct, WR started as an interdiction project in the Bush era and Obama’s DOJ converted it to a gun-walking project.
All evidence and testimony paints this as a Obama Administration conspiracy.
“dramatically raising the probability that gun-walking was known throughout the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and State, as well as the White House.”
You don’t get this level of cooperation between agencies without orders from higher ups. Bureaucrats are risk-adverse, this was a highly risky operation, no local agency would do this on its own. And it would not get cooperation from two other cabinet level departments unless three cabinet Secretaries got together to discuss and order such an operation. And if three cabinet Secretaries are getting together to plan such a risky venture, the President is sitting in on the meeting(s).
Dear Liar, Hillary! Eric and Janet belong in prison for life.
One thing that is missing from this issue is that for a very brief moment the Obama administration tried to use the guns in Mexican hands issue as an anti- gun moment. They actually said that this was the time to look into tighter gun control laws. About a week later the death of the border agent became known and the s**t hit the fan. This meme was actually said by Obama himself. One thing that all of the Obama admin has in common is the desire to take away our RIGHT to bear arms including Hillary. For anyone to believe that Holder and Obama did not know about this defies common sense.
“this was a highly risky operation, no local agency would do this on its own”
To put that in perspective:
Po-dunk Richboro PA Department of Works just painted all the lines, left and right turn only arrows and stop line bars in the rain..Its BEEN raining in the Northeast non stop since for 2 months, but the painting “had to be done” because it was SOOOO important….
Now the whole intesection (biggest and busiest in town) and for a mile in each direction from it, is one huge paint smeared mess that no-one can make sense of anymore.
Risk adverse?
No one agency would dare do something this stupid on their own?
Phhhlease!
This is GOVERNMENT we’re talking about…
the jerks who cant get REAL paying jobs, remember?
It only gets worse the higher up you go.
Gunwalker makes SENSE when you consider the people making decisions.
Ask the folks in Richboro.
Remember fellows – lets play nice and keep in mind that Holder, his boss, et al came to Washington directly from Chicago, and in Chicago, we just don’t use that word “conspiracy”.
Mountain does not equal mole hill, people.
Agreed. And as with Iran-Contra, supplying arms to elements attempting to overthrow the government of a sovereign foreign nation is a mountain.
The fact that while Nicaragua under the Sandinistas was, by their own admission, an enemy of the United States, while Mexico’s government is at least theoretically friendly, makes the difference even more noticeable. As a general rule, it’s considered impolite to try to depose the governments of your allies, Diem in South Vietnam notwithstanding. In fact, it’s considered both downright rude, and evidence of insanity.
“Fast and Furious” aka “Gunwalker” may not be Everest, but it is at least K2.

“As a general rule, it’s considered impolite to try to depose the governments of your allies,….”
Unless that was/is the reason. Mexico, ME, ….well,…
Holder is toast. Only real questions left is how much play this gets, how much will it effect the election, and will Holder turn on the ONE to reduce his own sentence? Because you know if Holder knew about this the ONE did.
Yes, it may just turn out on the news dump of some Friday before a holiday. “In other news today, Eric Holder stepped down citing a desire to be with family.”.
Nothing more than that.
If (and it is a big if) the media senses that Obama will not only lose in 2012 he may give the GOP 60 votes in the Senate, it will be eager to get rid of Barry so that Hillary can step in and keep the casualties down. In that scenario, Holder is toast – and Obama gets singed in the process. If the media wants to destroy either or both of them it can. The ammunition is certainly there.
‘How much play this gets’ may be minimized by the current MSM rhapsodies over the ‘Wall Street protests’. In fact, said protests may well be getting a lot of Administration support under the table, since the protest news will tend to crowd out the two most important items of the day. One: the miserable economy, and the reckless Obama-squandering to support his green energy cronies. Two: the Gunwalker story, which is just beginning to leak into public consciousness.
Intense coverage of the Wall Street story may be the best smokescreen the MSM can find to prevent ‘Gunwalker’ from gaining traction.
We need to get him out of office before he and his henchmen can affect the next election.
He wouldn’t run again because he like Nixon has too much against him as well as LBJ during Nam. He has effed up so much that he is being told to politely step aside and if he refuses his party will turn against him as they are slowly doing as I type!
He tried to do too much that grated against the population as a whole that he crossed a line in the sand that even liberal democrats see is far too much and far too soon!
The greatest double play combination: Aparicio and Fox.
The most corrupt double play combination: Holder and Obama. But looks like Holder’s gonna be the one caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Oh, well. I guess that’s the way the administration crumbles.
“News documents indicate that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder more than likely perjured himself…”
Whoop-di-do.
Since liberals and/or Democrats lie about as often as they exhale, this is hardly news.
Holder(and Obama)is a racist and a liar. He is also likely a criminal and a perjurer. Harboring a deep cynicism re current race relations, especilly at the political level, my sense is that Holder will get his “black pass” on real sactions and PUNISHMENT should he ever face actual justice proceedings. White political America is hysterically fearful of the race card. The probability that this scoundrel will serve time is negligible, more likely a resignation and pardon, if anything much. We can NEVER forget, all white America had Holder’s “people” at the whippin’ post not so long ago.
Instead of Leavenworth, I think it might be more appropriate to see Eric “the Red” Holder in Sheriff Arapaio’s Arizona jail, wearing pink underwear and eating bologna sandwiches.

Wake up, people! Nothing will happen to holder. . .. or oblammo. . . .the msm will cover for them, and the ball-less repubs will do nothing. The repugs have plenty of ammo already, and say/do nothing.
From Foxnews.com:
EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans are calling for a special counsel to determine whether Attorney General Holder perjured himself during his testimony to the House Judiciary Committee on Operation Fast and Furious, Fox News has learned.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, was sending a letter to President Obama on Tuesday arguing that Holder cannot investigate himself, and requesting the president instruct the Department of Justice to appoint a special counsel.
The question is whether Holder committed perjury during a Judiciary Committee hearing on May 3. At the time, Holder indicated he was not familiar with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives program known as Fast and Furious until about April 2011.

Holder will hold on as long as possible. Obama will give him a blanket pardon on his own way out.
We just need to make sure to extradite him to Mexico afterwards, him and several others. Unlike Canada, we have no policy preventing the extradition to countries with the death penalty.
I will truly savor the pics of the perp-walk at the border. I will relish any pics of the brutality of the Mexican guards at the time, knowing he will get so much more. I will truly relish knowing that he will likely never make it to trial. Gee, how tragic. See the solitary tear running down my face?
??????
I don’t think Mexico has the death penalty. I know, that’s a laugh, considering they celebrate a “Day of the Dead,” have whole mummified towns on display, and, oh yes, slaughter each other in the streets and hang the mutilated remains from bridges. But banning the death penalty makes them “civilized.”
Holder needs to resign, NOW! If the main stream media had done its JOB over the past few months, he’d already be gone. But since the main stream media is carrying so much water for the Obama administration, they are keeping most of the pressure off of Holder and his minions. Too bad for Obama that it’s not going to work much longer. The more information that leaks out, the worse they look. Somebody is going to have to be thrown under the bus for this, and it’s going to be Holder. And it can’t come soon enough. The man should have been tossed out months ago.
Please forgive my following language: Did you ever hear the term, “Niger rich”? It was once said about those who came into lots of money but couln’t handle it. Obama is “power rich”; he is his own worst enemy.
More accurately, the P.C. term today would be “ghetto-rich”, and its not about “handling” sudden wealth.
Its about the ostentatious display of wealth, when you are actually poor.
Where every dime you own is in the clothes and jewelry you have on you that very moment.
Five thousand in gold chains, but no home to speak of.
Three thousand dollars cash in your pocket, but no bank account.
Neon spoked wheels on your (stolen) Escalade but no other potential assets
(like a viable career path or in-progress education) to speak of.
That’s “Ghetto-rich”.
Obama and Holder are not Ghetto rich themselves, but they play the entitlement/grievance game to those who aspire to nothing more than some more bling, funded by someone else.
Food Stamps and 2 years of Unemployment frees up their capital for other investments,
like grills, nails, sneakers etc.
Throw them some scraps while pretending to be their Avenger ,
it’s a cheap (and effective) way to buy their votes .
One can only hope that the trials ends, and sentences are handed down, after the election. Then a Presidential pardon is highly unlikely. But, perhaps the greatest consequence will be the death of the race card in the eyes of the public.
My prediction: BHOzo will pardon Holder on his last day in office.
If there were real justice in the world 0bama would be stepping down or announcing he’s not running for re-election.
I dont want him to step down..
I want him KNOCKED down, in a landslide, so all the smug beautiful people in the MSM will have to report on it.
BEATEN down sounds even better.
Oh my !
Someone who can use the subjunctive !
The world is not entirely lost, not yet !
Thank you “New Class Traitor” !
And yes, if Obama WERE a gentleman, he would resign.
Alas my Dear,
Real “Gentlemen” do not go into politics at all…
That is the lower realm of our servants….the thieves, whores, snake-oil salesmen and otherwise non-productive nere-do-wells of society we must employ to drudgery of “governance”, as WE are too busy creating the wealth to support the nation.
It is the Gentleman’s duty to “oversee” these otherwise unemployable dregs toiling about in the messy dull business of our required administration and record keeping.
It is not a Gentleman’s duty to perform these tasks himself, but to see they are done properly and to his liking.
But it IS a Gentleman’s duty to exercise swift and brutal retribution against this lower class of scoundrel, should they dare conspire amongst themselves to injure the Republic through mutual greed and duplicitous record keeping, instead of merely submitting honestly to her service…
Those employed in “governance” should verily fear to even have such positions of trust, lest they be whipped within an inch of their lives, and cast aside to suffer alone the consequence of injuries and poverty, should they dare upset the Gentleman with poor performance, malfeasance, arrogance, or lofty notions of superiority to him.
Gentlemen, my good woman, are not “politicians”.
And no politician is a ever a Gentleman…
at least not since Washingtons era.
Holder & Obama…”Dumb & Dumber”…
Well, we’re gonna find out if the GOP House of Representatives has the “stones” to impeach one or both of these clowns…
Only 15 more months ’til we remove the Marxist in the Oval Office & cancel “Amateur Hour” at the White House.

Holder can’t be impeached. Only people who are elected can be impeached.
Thanks for correcting me, Karla.
Wrong Karla,
Federal Judges can be and have been impeached. For instance, Rep. Alycee Hastings (D-FL) was a former federal judge who was impeached and removed from the federal bench by the US Senate.
“Well, we’re gonna find out if the GOP House of Representatives has the “stones” to impeach one or both of these clowns…”
They don’t and they won’t be. Holder will be Obama’s scapegoat and take the fall for the Liar in Chief. Nothing will happen to Obama unless we the people HOUND our congress people to do their job. This will boil down to if the American people have the “stones” to speak up and DEMAND justice. If you don’t get involved, then STFU. Don’t expect things to “just happen” because you post on comment boards – you have to CALL your reps. DEMAND they do something. THEY WORK FOR YOU, not the other way around.
When tempted to do anything in secret, ask yourself if you would do it in public; if you would not, be sure it is wrong. Thomas Jefferson
The Mexican government is conducting their own investigation of F&F. Given the outrage expressed by certain Mexican officials, a request for extradition of the guilty parties is not outside the realm of possibility. And thought extremely unlikely, ‘extraordinary rendition’ is also possible. Holder could easily find himself strapped to a chair in an interrogation cell in a Mexican prison. I do believe that Mexico uses more ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ than were employed at Guantanamo. Who knows what Holder would reveal under those circumstances.
Before THAT happens, Holder will have a Ron Brown experience. . . .
Or a Vince Foster experience
Thing that’ll get Barry in trouble is if the CBSNBCABCCNN’ers go off the reservation. But if they do no more inside stuff about the Repubs. My guess, some soft stories on Saturday and a pass for the Barrynauts. It’s all about the narrative.
Please don’t leave out NPR and PBS. Their self-esteem might be damaged, and they sing from the same hymnal.
Anderson Cooper seemed mightily indignant with some guy he was interviewing about F&F.
And this latest is from CBS.
If the Obama media move off the reservation, it’s A-OK with me.
me, folks, but if O’s in the clink afore his term’s run out, he cain’t pardon nobody.
Which is why a high-weighted probability in case of the whole thing going pear-shaped on The One is;
1. The One signs a pardon in advance for Biden.
2. After The One is in dutch, Biden pardons him, plus Holder, Rezko, Napolitano, Hillary, Debbie Wassermann-Schultz, Valerie Jarrett, just about everybody who was in the loop, and probably Bo the Belgian Water Dog, too.
Thereby making sure everybody is in a position where they can’t stick it to anybody else.
It’s the Chicago Way.

ATF Fast and Furious: New documents show Attorney General Eric Holder was briefed in July 2010
By Sharyl Attkisson http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_162-20115038-10…
It is beyond astonishing, Darrell Issa directly asks Holder (under oath) in May 2011, “When did you FIRST hear about F&F?” Holder replies “probably a few weeks ago”
Now that the memos have come out proving otherwise, Eric says he misunderstood Issa’s question and DID know earlier (much earlier) “just not the details”.
Almost as stunning a dissembling as Billy Clinton being confused about the definition of the word “is”.
The term “Hear about,” covers any communication, regardless of the level of detail (or lack thereof). Issa didn’t ask when Holder received a thorough briefing- so that excuse of Holder’s is utterly unbelievable to anyone whose first language is American English.
Given the brazen lawlessness of this administration and absolutely no accountability for its crimes to date, why would anyone expect that Holder, Chu, Lisa Jackson, and especially Obama will suffer any adverse consequences for their crimes. The propaganda media will not report on any of this and indeed will actively and eagerly participate in the cover-ups. The rule of law and the bounds of the Constitution do not apply to these communist miscreants masquerading as Americans and this will be just one more crime shoved down the rabbit hole. The Fast and Furious operations are far, far worse than the Watergate crimes because they have actually resulted in the murder of both American and Mexican citizens yet I hold out no hope for the guilty to be brought to justice. I pray I am wrong.
Why doesn’t the family of the slain agent file a wrongful death suit against Obama? It’s my understanding that this is possible, as I seem to recall Paula Jones being allowed to sue a sitting President [Clinton] with sexual harassment.

Attorney General Eric Holder at the Mexico/United States Arms Trafficking Conference CUERNAVACA, MEXICO ~ Thursday, April 2, 2009 http://www.justice.gov/ag/speeches/2009/ag-speech…
“The time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves.”
George Washington
Silly writer, everyone knows the law doesn’t apply to Liberals. It always just depends on what the definition of “is” is.
Bill Clinton wasn’t impeached for how he used cigars in the Oral Office but for lying under Oath in his testimony to Congress.
Lying under oath is precisely what Eric Holder did before Issa’s committee in May of this year.
However, absent an impeachment proceeding, congressional power to punish Holder is limited which I guess means that a Special Prosecutor should be appointed (with greater powers to punish Holder) and then we can go through a years’ long, expensive laborious “investigation” to learn what we already know.
Gubbmint at work.
Impeachment: The scope of the power is set out in Article II, Section 4:
“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
The phrase “civil Officers” should cover a wide range. So should the phrase “public men”. Certainly Holder qualifies as a public man, too public.
In Federalist No, 65, Alexander Hamilton described the subject of impeachment as:
“. . . those offences which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated POLITICAL, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself.”
The tip of the iceberg in this totally corrupt, deliberately destructive and utterly inept administration. The DOJ has proven under Holder that they are solely focused on investigating and prosecuting only alleged white incidents involving blacks–never the reverse–and Holder’s hiring of an army of radically left extremist attornies in the DOJ enables him to carry out this un-American mission. The other cabinet members and czars, especially Chu, Solis, Sebilius, Napolitano are wreaking havoc specifically designed to destroy the American economy. All under the direction of our Destroyer-in-Chief. If only the election were this November rather than next, we would be able to stop this insanity before it’s too late. It took two centuries to build our great country, but less than three years to bring it to the brink. We need God’s help to guide us in selecting a new president who will not only SAVE AMERICA, but will also RESTORE AMERICA.
He needs to be put on trial for treason, along with the others who played a role in this.
I see on Foxnews.com that the GOP is asking for a special counsel to be appointed to investigate Holder.
Radical Racists: Obama, Holder, and the NBPP
It’s turning out that the president of the United States, the Attorney General of the United States, and the New Black Panther Party have much more in common than race. Call it recompense, call it reparations, that commonality is almost as ugly and damnable as any crimes committed by the Ku Klux Klan.
Barack Hussein Obama has undertaken prodigious efforts to appear the president of all the people regardless of race and an even greater effort to conceal his radical, racist past. Eric Himpton Holder has been more forthcoming in his racism and active discrimination toward white Americans without conceding his bigotry. The New Black Panther Party, founded on black racism and distinguished from the old Black Panthers only by the fact most have not yet been tried and convicted, is more brazenly ingenuous about its radical racism.
No matter Obama’s attempts to hide who and what he is, no matter Holder’s accidental admissions, if nothing else, Obama and Holder could learn a great deal about forthrightness from the NBPP. Their learning curve aside, recent and past revelations have now linked all of them.
After his election, Obama told America he has been running for the presidency since kindergarten. Toward that end, he campaigned in Selma, Alabama in March, 2007. Nothing wrong with that; he campaigned in 57 of America’s 58 states so Alabama most likely was one of them.
What is very wrong is that photos depicting him marching and speaking with NBPP National Chief Malik Zulu Shabazz and other members of the New Black Panther Party were quashed and hidden from the American public for four years by Obama’s mainstream media.
That oversight could readily be attributable to journalistic negligence–or to a covert attempt to portray their hero, their anointed one, as Everyman, a universal man who represented all of America, black, white, yellow and everyone in between, who didn’t have a racist bone in his body. . .
Not unsurprisingly, like those damning 2007 photos, that evidence of “reverse racism” has been suppressed by Obama’s media.
Obama’s appointment of fellow African-American Eric Holder as attorney general should have provided the clue that neither Obama nor his new appointee were on the same page as the majority of Americans.
Eric Holder’s background of facilitating Bill Clinton’s pardon of fugitive Marc Rich, defending the terrorist Ejército Popular Boricua, negotiating a settlement in the case of Chiquita Brands paying off terrorists, his firm’s representation of Guantanomo accused terrorists, etc., were a dead giveaway that Holder was closer to being a terrorist himself than qualified to be the attorney general of the United States.
Obama’s MSM deftly hid those pretty damned relevant details on Holder’s résumé. . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=5645.)
