Operations Fast & Furious

Good Luck getting the Reid Senate to Convict...




;) ;) How's that trial of Maxine Waters working out? Have they Rangeled out a deal yet?
 
Where was the public outcry for justice when Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry bled to death at the hands of a drug cartel in cahoots with the U.S. government? It happened in the Peck Canyon corridor northwest of Nogales, Arizona -- nowhere. The general public didn't hear about it.

It's been one year and two months since agent Terry died. Within weeks of his demise, his shocking murder would illuminate a bizarre and murderous government plot to run guns, lots of guns -- over 2,000 guns -- into the hands of the Sinaloa drug cartel.

Members of Sinaloa were behind 19,097 murders in Mexico between 2006 and 2010. But that didn't stop the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in conjunction with the U.S. attorney's office in Arizona from initiating a program in 2009 that would add at least 300 more dead bodies to that sobering pile of human remains south of the border.

Within 24 hours of Terry's death, officials had traced two AK-47s to an ATF Phoenix-based operation dubbed Fast and Furious.

Soon bloggers at sites like cleanupatf, sipsey street irregulars, and Washington Examiner were joining forces to blow the lid off a mindless, deadly program that had collapsed into a destructive free-for-all. As ATF whistle-blowers like John Dodson came forward with reports of illegal gun-buying, untraceable weapons, threats of demotion by power-crazed superiors, and their futile efforts to stop the Fast and Furious madness until Terry's death, mainstream editorial boards across the country failed to report the story.

Not since Lenin gathered his fellow Bolsheviks together in 1912 at the Prague conference to plan the publication of Pravda has there been such an all-out effort to quash facts that out in the open might bring down Attorney General Eric Holder and the whole Obama administration.

An amoral herd of left-wing journalists acting like "bootlicking propagandists," as Orwell once called members of his own British press in 1944, might find it difficult in the long run to get away with suppressing a scandal involving mass murder. Orwell warned reporters, "Do remember that dishonesty and cowardice always have to be paid for. ... Once a whore, always a whore."

A pimped out press slavishly covering for corrupt leftist regimes while bringing down the opposition is nothing new. It happens openly every day in places like Cuba and Venezuela. But here in the land of the free press?

Sans murders of innocent federal agents and civilians, the Washington Post played out the Watergate scandal until 25 defendants were charged with various crimes.

Too bad that agents Brian Terry, Jaime Zapata, and hundreds of Mexican civilians, with "more to come" according to Holder, didn't die under a Republican administration. The wheels of justice grind down to a full stop when Democrats circle the wagons.

The Washington Post, The New York Times, the New York Daily News, the Chicago Tribune, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, Reuters, the Associated Press, and countless others along with their political backers routinely characterize the Fast and Furious murders as part of "a botched ATF sting operation that went awry," "an ill-conceived operation," "a witch hunt," "political fodder," "deeply flawed," "horrible screw-up," "bad judgment," and a "Republican red herring."

Various big media outlets that ran 120 stories of Herman Cain's alleged sexual dalliances from November 2 to November 15 didn't see a need to enlighten the masses about Fast and Furious. The number of times "F and F" was mentioned in the same time span? One.

Holder to face House GOP critics at hearing on Fast and Furious



Attorney General Eric Holder will be confronted on Thursday morning for his role in the botched Fast and Furious gun-tracking operation.

The hearing is expected to be testy following House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa’s threat to hold the attorney general in contempt if he does not hand over documents requested under a panel subpoena.


Holder’s handling of the issue has become a political flashpoint, with more than 90 lawmakers signing on to Rep. Paul Gosar’s resolution expressing no confidence in Holder and asking him to resign.

If Holder is not forthcoming with information on Thursday or documents by Feb. 9, Gosar’s office said he will push more aggressively for a vote on the resolution, which is before the House Judiciary Committee.

Issa’s investigation has largely centered on what role, if any, Holder played in the operation.

Both Holder and President Obama have repeatedly denied knowing or approving of the operation before press reports of the controversial tactics used began to surface early last year, after which Holder ordered an inspector general investigation.

The Obama administration has also pointed to a similar program run by the Bush administration. (commonly known as the BLAME BUSH! tactic)

Issa has said that either Holder knew about the operation and has lied to Congress, or that he should have known about the operation and is incompetent to hold his office.

Much of Thursday’s hearing is expected to revolve around Issa’s demand for all Justice Department documents related to a Feb. 4, 2011, letter on Fast and Furious the agency sent to Sen. Chuck Grassley.

In that letter, Justice said it did everything in its power to stop guns from being trafficked across the U.S.-Mexico border, but subsequent testimony and documents showed these claims were false, and Justice has since withdrawn the letter.


In his testimony, Holder emphasized the hundreds of hours of staff work, thousands of pages of documents and six congressional appearances by himself that have gone into attempts to address congressional concerns about the operation.

Holder said that all questions surrounding the origins of the falsehoods in the Feb. 4 letter to Grassley have been answered and implied that he would not be handing over any further documents to Issa on the matter.

“The documents we produced have answered the question of how that letter came to be drafted and put to rest questions about any intentional effort to mislead,” he said.

Issa threatened to hold Holder in contempt after the attorney general, in December testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, said Justice would not provide any documents created after Feb. 4, 2011, to Congress. Holder did say Justice would release a score of documents concerning the letter that were created prior to Feb. 4.

Democrats on Issa’s committee issued an 89-page report early this week placing much of the blame for the failings of the operation, including the heavily shunned tactics of gun “walking,” on field agents in Arizona, and not on administration officials.

But Republicans balked at the report, which they said was politically motivated. “The idea that senior political appointees have clean hands in these gun-walking scandals doesn’t pass the laugh test,” Grassley said.

“It will take a lot more than a knee-jerk defense from their political allies in Congress to restore public trust in the leadership of the Justice Department.”
 
Top Department of Justice officials had extensive knowledge of and involvement in Operation Fast and Furious, claims a new report released Thursday, hours before Attorney General Eric Holder’s scheduled testimony to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

The report released by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, top lawmakers investigating the botched gunrunning operation, claims Justice Department officials in Washington and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were involved in the coordination in the early stages of the operation.

Holder: No cover-up in 'Fast and Furious,' no effort to hide details of the operation

Attorney General Eric Holder vigorously denied a "cover-up" by the Justice Department over "Operation Fast and Furious," telling a House panel investigating the botched gunrunning program that he has nothing to hide and suggesting the probe is a "political" effort to embarrass the administration.

"There's no attempt at any kind of cover-up," Holder told lawmakers well into a hearing about whether he had been forthright in responding to requests of the House Oversight and Govenrment Relations Committee led by Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif.

"We're not going to be hiding behind any kind of privileges or anything," he said.

Holder is a criminal, its just that simple
 
WASHINGTON - Attorney General Eric Holder squared off Thursday with Republicans on a House committee who are demanding that the Justice Department turn over documents about its handling of congressional inquiries into a flawed gun-smuggling investigation known as Operation Fast and Furious.

At the start of a hearing, chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee will do what is necessary to force the Justice Department to produce the information.

The attorney general said he will consider Issa's demand.

"I think you're hiding behind something here," Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., told Holder. "You ought to give us the documents. ... It appears we're being stonewalled."

Issa takes step toward holding Holder in contempt of Congress




On Tuesday Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House committee on Oversight and Government Reform, took a major step toward holding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for his failure to provide subpoenaed documents and other information about Operation Fast and Furious.

In a Jan. 31 letter, Issa had threatened Holder with such a move if he failed to provide all the subpoenaed documents relating to the Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal by Feb. 9. That deadline has come and gone, and Holder’s Department of Justice still hasn’t provided most of those documents. Issa’s subpoena dates back to Oct. 12, 2011.

On Tuesday in a seven-page letter, Issa revealed that Deputy Attorney General James Cole begged Congress to extend the Feb. 9 deadline. Issa wrote that the request was “ironic” and “ignores the reality that the Department has unreasonably delayed producing these documents to the Committee.”

“On its face, the requested extension demonstrates a lack of good faith,” Issa wrote to Holder. “With one exception, the Department has only produced documents responsive to the subpoena on the eve of congressional hearings in which senior Department officials testified. The Department appears to be more concerned with protecting its image through spin control than actually cooperating with Congress.”

“We cannot wait any longer for the Department’s cooperation,” Issa continued. “As such, please specify a date by which you expect the Department to produce all documents responsive to the subpoena. In addition, please specify a Department representative who will interface with the Committee for production purposes.”

Issa added that whoever Holder designates as the go-to DOJ official for delivering subpoenaed documents “should also serve as the conduit for dealing with the contempt proceedings, should the Department continue to ignore the Committee’s subpoena.”

The California Republican slammed Holder, too, for claiming the congressional investigation into Fast and Furious was a political game for Republicans.

"It is ironic that while the Department’s delay tactics have extended this investigation into a presidential election year, you have had the audacity to characterize it as an attempt at ‘headline-grabbing Washington ‘gotcha’ games and cynical political point scoring,’” Issa wrote to Holder on Tuesday.

Issa also attacked Holder for Justice’s failure to comply with Congressional subpoenas. “Had the Department demonstrated willingness to cooperate with this investigation from the outset — instead of attempting to cover up its own internal mismanagement — this investigation likely would have concluded well before the end of 2011. In reality, it is the Department that is playing political gotcha games, instead of allowing a co-equal branch of government to perform its constitutional duty to conduct oversight of the Executive Branch.”

Issa’s letter concluded by warning that Congress will continue to investigate Operation Fast and Furious until responsible parties are held accountable. He pointed to bipartisan support behind efforts to assign responsibility for Border Patrol agent Brian Terry’s murder, for the murders of at least 300 Mexican civilians and, likely, for the murder of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jaime Zapata.

“This is not an ‘election year political ‘gotcha’ game,’ but rather a bipartisan sentiment,” Issa wrote. “As Ranking Member [Democratic Rep. Elijah] Cummings promised the family of slain Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, ‘we will not rest until every single person responsible for all of this, no matter where they are, are brought to justice.’ I applaud his resolve, and I want to make it clear that Congress will not give up until this accountability has been achieved."

All Eric wants to do is make it to the next election and he knows he can; look how long they've been investigating Maxine Waters...



Now, if he were Herman Cain, he'd be gone already.
