Here's hoping Holder's fall from grace will be every bit as Fast and Furious as this burgeoning scandal is turning out to be. Remember. Nixon got tripped up over Watergate not on any criminality connected to the scandal but in perjuring himself as part of the cover-up.

The political refrain of over forty years ago has returned to Washington to once again wreak havoc for those who think they are above the law. Eric Holder;What did you know and when did you know it?/

He knew. They all knew. They’re all liars.

But the ATF lost track of these firearms, and many were allowed to cross into Mexico.

That's a rather generous assumption.

They never 'lost' track of these weapons because they never attempted to track them in the first place. That was not the mission objective of Operation Gun Walker.

Eric Holder would not make a complete dramatization of the events to protect himself and his boss, would he?

This HAD to have come from the top. There are no clues that this may have been a rogue operation.

Deniability becomes ever more implausible.

This is going to make Watergate look like a rainy Sunday afternoon at the park.

It is not the crime, but the cover-up, that makes the case so devastating.

Input needed. Have now started a new ping list called BORDER WARS since so many of these stories are starting to intersect and overlap. I would like to keep the Gunwalker threads separate. Let me know if you want on the Border Wars list. It will NOT be the same as Gunwalker, though they might overlap occasionally. Please ping me to any articles you think fit in this catagory. Thank you.


JUST DO IT!

International Terrorism. Treason. Murder. Accessory to murder. Perjury. Let me count the ways.

"Attorney General Eric Holder knew about the Fast and Furious gun program as far back as July 2010,which may contradict his statements to Congress..."

This must be the new way to say perjury in D.C.

He'll just do what ALL lying politicians do when they lie under Oath: "I mis-spoke", "I didn't understand the question", "It depends on the meaning of 'is' ", etc.

He won't spend a day in jail, when he obviously committed Perjury, and pleading ignorance as the TOP LAWYER in the U.S. is really stupid.

Wasn't there a guy by the name of Scooter Libby who went to jail for things he said under oath?

“Perjury”...is such an ugly word,
Everything I say, is not true.
Honestly, “BS” is more preferred,
And mostly what I give to you.

I’ll take issue with that. Laws were indeed broken here. They had to be broken to get the guns in the hands of the bad guys. That alone should be sufficient to get rid of Holder and put him in a cell. Uhbama will just suffer collateral damage as he should.

This was an attempt to blame Americans and American gun dealers for border gun related violence hence build a case for stricter gun control laws. A general purge of this administration is in order.

“Reality” contradicts Holder and the White House!

..and quit calling it a “sting”!

All the White House wanted was a “problem”, which could only be solved by GUN CONTROL!

Until we the people have real power to force the law to be enforced, the crooks in government will always get away with lucrative means to a soft, cushiony life until they die. Communists and crooks always disable the alarms and shackle the guards first, and then they can ransack the place with impunity. That’s why the most pressing and serious issue this nation faces is actually not the economy, but the lawlessness within our own government agencies, bureaucracies, and law enforcement.

When the entire system closed their eyes to all the evidence and instead gave the keys of the kingdom to a man guilty of forgery, perjury, and extortion just to cover up his ineligibility, we entered a new phase of existence: covert takeover of the entire system so the communist ransacking of this nation could begin in earnest.

Serious as a heart attack, but because they threatened the media with loss of careers, lives, and families, the Obamafia got even “conservatives” to consider the lawlessness to be a big joke.

Anybody who is still laughing at that “joke” is officially brain-dead. We have an all-out communist takeover of the law enforcement system in this nation.

Right now the person in the White House can declare any US citizen to be an enemy combatant and have us shot down, no questions asked, no trial, nothing. And nobody will ever prosecute him for murder. Total lawlessness. Makes it even more ominous when you realize that Janet Napolitano has sent memos to law enforcement saying that pro-life and small-government advocates are to be considered potential terrorists.

The Justice Department strongly disputed any suggestion that Holder misled Congress.

Of course not. LIED, yes ... but misled, never.
