On Greta tonight: Grassley said: Holder’s Department of Justice has stonewalled his request for documents; a smoking gun goes all the way to the top.

God Bless Sen. Grassley. and keep him safe. I doubt if the LSN will even mention this uptick.

Justice Department and ATF need to come clean

This is Watergate-squared, and it should come to full boil in about 14 months.

Holder and Barry don’t want to end up having to take their Fifth Amendment rights. This is the most corrupt bunch of bastards to ever run Washington. And that’s saying something.

200 Mexicans dead, helicopter shot down, casino burned to the ground.

THE MOST SERIOUS SCANDAL IS US HISTORY.

We’ve transferred weapons to nations that later turned unfriendly, sure.

NEVER before in US history have paid US officers knowingly supplied guns to people we KNEW were US-hating criminals.

The Constitution is our friend, the narcos our enemy. Yet HERE, it was the opposite.

MOST BLACK-HEARTED ADMINISTRATION IN US HISTORY.

My point exactly...we haven’t heard muchg on any other news site about this. Sen. Grassley was on Greta tonight, saying that Holder [and DOJ under him] is stonewalling gathering of information.

I’m glad Grassley is tenacious. This is ugly.

When OTR posts the interview, I’ll post it.

If this was supposed to be a sting, it is the lamest sting the world has ever seen.

From the Grassley website above; he's playing hardball:

Now, I'm going to do whatever it takes to get to the bottom of this. The House Oversight Committee has joined in my effort and issued a subpoena for documents. Because it might duplicate the process in the House, I have not sought any subpoenas or hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee – yet. I have not exercised my right to object to any unanimous consent requests on nominations because of this issue – yet.

I hope they all go down.

Grassley isn’t going to let the Senate Rats turn it into a game of mushball for Obama & Co.

Grassley always reminded me of a timid mouse in search of cheese, but Issa seems to be pit pull in search of red meat.

Grassley of all people; I never would have suspected he’d go after the dems like this. I thought he was so “bipartisan.”

Huck Folder. This will just delay the SHTF until the spring, when it’ll really start to matter to voters.

What does the Main stream Media have to Say about American Taxpayers Funding the sale of Assault weapons to Mexican Drug Cartels who ar Slaugtering Innocent Men Women and Children? Chirp ,Chirp, Chirp.
This is Outrageous,Grassley and Issa should hold a Prime time News Conference to Blow the Lid On this so it cant be Ignored anymore. Unless the Public is made aware of this NOTHING will happen,the crooks are in Charge of all the law enforcement agencies and all Congress has the power to do is Supeana witnesses.
