Holder attended a conference in Mexico in 2009 (yes 2009), where he discussed the Fast/Furious operation. The video and written transcripts are out there. Saw them on TV last night when Issa was talking about them. Seems like a smoking gun for sure.

I do believe this is the biggest scandal to ever come out of Washington DC. An illegal and covert operation that got hundreds of people killed, including Americans. Not sure how high it goes, although I suspect Holder for sure and probably Obama. But someone has got to go to jail on this one.

Watergate, no one died.

Calderon should demand he be extradited to stand trial in a Mexican court and serve time there.

What are the first steps of impeachment? It is clear that Holder will not appoint a special prosecutor.

Americans are dead because of this thug. He needs to be brought to justice just as any other criminal who is an accessory to murder and perjury before Congress.

Thanks...... I love the comment by one FR poster - if this is all news to Holder, then why isn’t he demanding to know where/why/how this all got started under his watch? Does he not rule the roost? What is he getting a salary for? Is he not the department head?

I love how obozo’s people always think they’re covering their backsides by saying “a review is being conducted - AT MY REQUEST.” Even tho’ it’s a year and a half late?

Is he as bad as his boss where the underlings do all the work (poorly at that)? Don’t bother answering that....

We all saw Holder at work with the Clinton administration. He wasn’t impressive then and he’s not improved since. People have mentioned Waco but don’t forget Elian Gonzalez....Maybe we can expect to see Holder come out and do a Janet Reno act - “the responsibility is mine.”

Haven’t read the letter yet but I’ve printed it. No doubt I’ll have more to complain about after reading it but I don’t expect to see him take responsibility.

How much longer do we have to put up with these goons?

I’m starting to believe that the only solution we’re going to have to our out of control Government is to hit the reset button. There has been absolutely zero self restraint shown in the corruption of our Government for years and now it’s so bad that we can’t even be shocked by it anymore.

It doesn’t take a reset button, all it would take is putting a whole bunch of people in federal prison for life and the rest of the criminals will scatter when the free lunch of being a “public servant” no longer means immunity from the law.

Yeah, I know, dream on.

I think Holder is right. He is an “additional tool”

Congress is racist?

The caucus that is segregated by race and skin color, and won't allow white people to join? That group of sleazebags?

Remember this, Holder testified to Congress about Waco almost 20 years ago.

The guy was Janet Reno's right hand. Killing Americans was not an issue for the son of a bitch. He's a real scumbag to the core.

Message to AG Holder

Don't you men message to Obama?

Is there a possiblility that you think Holder did this on his own? Isn't it obvious to the most causual observer that the Community Organizer did this?

We know that the Community Organizer is dumb enough to ignore law to think he can get away with it. He illegally attacked Libya and thumbed his nose at American law and the Consitution.

We know the Community Organizer wanted to pin American guns on Mexico's problems. Hillary joined in on America is the problem. Dump guns into Mexico and then blame Americans. First get the gun sellers, then the gun manufacturers then the 2nd Amendment.

The Community Organizer in Chief has it all figured out. The PRESS still doesn't believe this clown playing POTUS would do this.

Obama according to PRESSTITUTES can do no wrong.

Get Holder first then go after Obama. This is Obama's WATERGATE but unlike Nixon he was in on the planning. Nixon just participated in the cover up.

Obama has ties to both sides of the equation. They gave the little jerk enough rope to hang himself and he has. Now it's just necessary to watch him walk to the gallows.

Never let the dream go. Dreams never die.

I think we should start working to institute term limits. Let’s end career politicians.

I’m sure someone has already thought this up, but to me it seems that they were funneling guns to Mexico from us on purpose so that they could tighten up gun control laws in the name of peace.
