In a just America with a free press, it would be the #1 bestseller on every list.
Every chapter contains more TNT than in the entire book "All the President's Men" by Woodward and Bernstein, because Obama's numerous scandals are orders of magnitude worse than Nixon's.
Useless complicit EXEMPT RINO:
"DO what you want to the dhimmis we both hate.
Just let me clean up after you, My Master, My beloved King."
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
President Ronald Reagan
The essay is based upon "Stonewalled" by Sharyl Atkisson, and "In the Garden of Beasts" by Eric Larson.
Time is late, and our republic is in far greater peril than people understand.
WOW! I pray this gets read and shared all over the place. Great work!
—great post—best wrapup of “F & F”yet-—
when i get home tonight
Great work. Thanks for your never-ending service to a free republic. BTTT!
Thank you for taking the time to do this. I am going to print this out and give it to some people I know. Your third topic was conducted either overtly or covertly by none other that The Department of Justice’s FBI, in my opinion.
Atkisson makes the point very well that there is no recourse left. She couldn’t go to the DOJ’s Inspector General, not when every element of Obama’s team had to be assumed corrupt.
Hitler was a decorated war veteran, wounded in combat, who wrote his own book.
Seriously, good essay. Should be required reading for every American.
Newly Uncovered Memo Shows How Holder Got Prepped to Mislead the American People on Fast & Furious
Here are excerpts from Miller’s advice to Holder:
1. Send a letter to the Hill explaining what happened. Put in context the amount of information you get every week, say that you don’t recall reading those bullets or being aware of Fast and Furious at any time before early this year, but in any event, you certainly weren’t aware of the gun walking aspect of it until the news broke earlier this year (at which point you took immediate steps to have the IG investigate, etc.).
This needs to happen tomorrow. In fact, it should’ve happened today. The last time your credibility was directly questioned was whether you had disclosed all of your amicus briefs — the story started to break on a Thursday night, and we made people stay up all night compiling information so we could get a response out by 1 pm or so on Friday.
2. Find a way for you to get in front of a reporter or two about this. You don’t want to call a press conference on this because it will blow things out perspective, but if you have any events in the next few days (preferably tomorrow), you could find a way to take two or three questions on it afterwards.
Or if that’s not easily doable, you could find a way to “run into” a couple of reporters on your way to something. Maybe Pete Williams, Carrie, Pete Yost — that part can be managed. Most important is that you’re in front of a camera in a relaxed manner giving a response you have rehearsed.
It would be ideal if those two things happened in the same day so you didn’t have two news cycles of responding — you want to do it all at once.
There may be things you need to do to go on offense as well, but I think most important right now is that you answer the charge about covering this up. Then you can move to offense.
Earlier this month, additional recently-released internal email shows Holder’s contempt for Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee:
“Issa and his idiot cronies never gave a damn about this when all that was happening was that thousands of Mexicans were being killed with guns from our country. All they want to do — in reality — is cripple ATF and suck up to the gun lobby. Politics at its worst.”
It’s interesting that during a scandal on gun-running gone bad, Holder’s mind would leap to the implications of gun control. Then again, when don’t people in the Obama administration think about politics, rather than the lives of innocent civilians and border patrol agents like Brian Terry?
Judging by the discussion between Holder and Miller about how to best manipulate the media, the outgoing attorney general’s assertion that “Issa and his idiot cronies” were simply playing politics is ironic to say the least. But getting a close-up view of how Holder & Co. stage-manage the media for mass consumption is revealing, indeed.
As with every narrative you generate, you can’t put one thing as the money quote - because the whole thing is quotable.
Another masterful work, old man!
Since you recommended it, I will read it.
Okay, I gotta remember that!

This is a great article.
