Watergate wasn’t that big of a deal until Sam Ervin’s face replaced the soap opera schedules back in those days. Then it was a big deal.

The first network, cable or otherwise who finally starts cutting into regular programming with live testimony from congress and puts the special “Constitutional Crisis” logo on the bottom right will own the day and that will be the tipping point - critical mass.

At that point, there will be calls from more and more talking heads and print people for Obama to seriously consider stepping down.

Have you heard Biden lately? He’s either going to resign or be dumped off the 2012 ticket - this is going to happen within eight weeks-that’s my bet.

Someone is going to jail over this.

Someone...someone big...must...go to jail over this.

Somebody designed a scheme to undermine the Constitution...federal agencies broke a minimum of two dozen federal laws implementing it...and at least 200 people foreign nationals lost their lives, along with at least three federal agents.

Nobody died because of Watergate.

And the next administration must continue the Fast & Furious investigation...and punish whoever was responsible.

Otherwise, we have condoned lawlessness on the part of an administration.

William Newell admitted during testimony on Capitol Hill in July that the White House had in fact been in contact with him about Operation Fast and Furious.

--------------------------

Considering the level of stupidity on display at ATF, the agency might want to consider an insanity defense.

In a sane world, Congress would impeach at least the Department heads involved and depending on his involvement take impeachment action against the President himself. Instead, he's running for re-election.

The piss-stream media ignores corruption story after corruption story on a daily basis now. Sad real sad. Nothing to see here, folks, just move along. Ignore the dead bodies.

Your tax dollars at work under the Obama administration... It's fully paid for.

They also did not note that these docs were about Operation GUNRUNNER, which was a wholly legitimate op. These docs don’t contain ANYTHING about Fast and Spurious.
This is because the names of the separate ops have been used interchangeably by so many...and they are NOT the same thing at all.

Drudge has this story from CBS.com linked on his website:

New Fast and Furious docs released by White House

Drudge's headline reads: "WHouse quietly releases new documents on secret gun-running operation..."

Also this one: "WHouse quietly releases new documents on secret gun-running operation..."

That's a huge improvement for Drudge. He's only linked to stories about F&F a couple of times that I know of. Perhaps he was waiting for the majors to really start posting some articles about this before he ran with it. Dunno, but I'm glad to see him covering it.

There should be multiple executions over this.

Your last sentence is all important. If we condone lawlessness in our government, what make them think we need to abide by the law?

Someone is going to jail over this. Let’s just wait and see who drops the dime on who to stay out of jail. Lives will be ruined eventually......but who’s.

Some third level clerk in the payroll department will get the axe, but only if the janitor is not available.

‘...Trying to save all this somewhere’

That is exactly why I started my website- to save these documents and articles for reference.

This is a file of articles saved on this particular scandal-

...Sorry about that, I was joking and didn't use the sarc tag. I meant saving things on FR bookmarks and in my files for quick ref. Not sure how long I will be on the web. BTW, you have an excellent site. Bravo...
