New information on the systemic corruption at the Department of Justice. The supposedly independent Inspector General's office is part of the cover-up.

Obama’s firewall ping.

JUST DO IT!

[penelopesire]

Ping for the list. This whole thing is looking more and more like an impeachable offense from the top on down.

Attorney General Eric Holder at the Mexico/United States Arms Trafficking Conference
CUERNAVACA, MEXICO ~ Thursday, April 2, 2009

Remarks as prepared for delivery.

First, let me express my thanks to Attorney General Medina Mora and Secretary of Government Gomez Mont for making this conference possible.

This is my first trip to another country as Attorney General. I wanted to come to Mexico to deliver a single message: We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you in this fight against the narcotics cartels. The United States shares responsibility for this problem and we will take responsibility by joining our Mexican counterparts in every step of this fight.

And, together, we will win – thanks in large part to the courage of my Mexican colleagues here today, who are on the front lines every day, and with whom I am proud to collaborate.

The topic that has been addressed over the past two days could not be more important – the development of an arms trafficking prosecution and enforcement strategy on both sides of the border.

Folks, save the full article and links in your archives for history.

On another note, I wonder if Kevin O'Reilly is googling himself over in Firebase Goatscrew, Afghanistan?

Must be an awfully important mission for him over there, to take him away from something like testifying before Issa before Sept 30, as demanded.

Oops. Kevin has gone very far away "on business." So sorry.

Kevin, when you get onto a helo, make sure you strap in. Wouldn't want to fall out the open door on a tight bank, you know?

Did Woody Allen write this sript? Somebody, tell me.

Wow. A very well-written and comprehensive summary of the whole blood-soaked Gunwalker scandal.

If this had happened under GW Bush's watch, the entire administration would be hung by the yardarm by now.

[Lurker]

Thanks.

fast and furious info bump

Finally, the Fast and Furious scandal has now become a large-scale criminal investigation. It has enveloped several agencies, including the Justice Department; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms; the Federal Bureau of Investigation; the Drug Enforcement Administration; the U.S. attorney's office in Arizona; and now even the White House.

The fact that Eric Holder will likely never appoint a special counsel makes it even more imperative that the office of the Justice Department inspector general should be above reproach.

AlGore called this

"No Controlling Legal Authority"

[dagogo redux]

“if you want to get away with the perfect crime, control the investigation.”

If Holder & the Obama did not know about F&F, why are they not demanding the heads of those who did?
