Congressman Issa Announces New Subpoenas for Holder, and 100 Fast and Furious Guns Show
Big Government ^ | 10/10/11 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 10/10/2011 8:32:29 AM PDT by Nachum

Last week, Attorney General Eric Holder tried to stall the momentum building behind the Fast and Furious investigation by submitting a letter to Senate and Congressional investigators in which he continued to plead ignorance, and in which he did his best to undercut the progress of the investigation to this point. In the letter, Holder actually had the gall to re-affirm his feigned ignorance of Fast and Furious: “[I have] no recollection of knowing about Fast and Furious or of hearing its name prior to the public controversy about it.”

Even Juan’s waking up: http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/mccain-guns-holder-investigation/2011/10/05/id/413380

Rep. Lamar Smith, the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee has already written to President Barack Obama asking him to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate.

No can do Lamar. The Bears, golf, on-line gay porn surfing.
The president has been too busy to waste his time on this.

I compare it more to the false accusations over the Iran/Contra stuff during Reagan’s administration. At least then we were arming the good guys fighting the commies in South America(I was very young and don’t really remember the whole thing very well).

Now Obama is arming the drug cartels....who are killing people in the thousands. And just like now..the democrats and leftists were on the side of the commie/marxists in South America. I still think this thing is bigger than just trying to pass more unconstitutional gun laws. We should look for drug money flowing into Obama and democrat coffers. Quid pro quo.....just like Solyndra.

I’m sure the mainstream media is working overtime to try to dig up some dirt on Congressman Issa - an extramarital affair, illegal campaign contributions, a child out of wedlock, a 20 year old DUI charge, an overdue library book - anything that can be used to discredit Issa and shift the focus away from from Holder and Obama.

Looks like Holder is going to try the “I am not guilty of criminal activity, I'm just totally and unbelievably incompetent, stupid and unaware of what is going on in my organization. On top of that my memory is so poor I can't recall sending thousands of weapons, including Barrett 50 caliber sniper rifles, across the Mexican border to Criminal Drug Cartels trying to take control of the Mexican government in the middle of the most violent civil strife and domestic terrorism in Mexican history ” defense.

Amazing. Like Lilly Tomlin, no matter how much more cynical I get, I just can't keep up You can always tell when these arrogant, egotistical an self absorbed Democrats are in really serious trouble - they use the “We are just Incompetent” defense. It's the only time they ever admit they were wrong.

This was big in the Clinton White House.

Things like, “we never intentionally transferred nuclear secrets to the Chinese, but the White House is soooo disorganized and these y staffers people are so incompetent that some time little things slip through the cracks”

Looks like we are going to be entertained by constant stream of Obama appointees who going to testify to Congress that "I don't recall" to every question the are asked including,"What did you have for breakfast today"

The text of Issa’s new letter to Holder is not posted at SSI. It’s a real b-slap across the face. Several slaps. The MSM can’t ignore this now.

“Not” should be “now.” Issa’s letter to Holder is now posted at SSI.

Oh, they have already tried. It isn't working and they are all running scared :)

Notice how no DemocRAT is talking about gun control at the moment?

One of these Obamacrats was on the news yesterday saying that F&F was just a continuation of a program the Bush started- Does anyone know what the hell they were talking about?

As stupid as Bush II was on some issues, I find it impossible to believe he would have created something this stupid.

That's the another feature of the Clinton era defense. Use private investigators to dig dirt on you opponents and then blackmail and intimidate them into silence. If that does not work, then use the propaganda power of the Democrat owned Media to destroy and discredit them.

Another, Clinton era card that Obama is already playing is the “Create chaos and turmoil so that people get distracted or get scandal fatigue and just want it all to stop before it has serious negative impact on peoples 401ks and the country as a whole” card that the Clintons played so masterfully.

Protesters are not suddenly occupying Wall Street and Washington as a spontaneous movement. They are there to intimidate Wall Street Investors, Cooperate Officers and Washington politicians with the threat of violence and civil unrest if they don't back off and get back on the Obama bandwagon. Their true unstated, but inferred message is "Support and Re Elect Obama. No Obama, No Peace, No Justice"

You’re right on every point. The odd thing is the press buys their excuses. Most of us feel the press is biased - but what if they’re ‘bought’.

Dems have bought the so called protesters for “Occupy” and the so called press can’t seem to cover that story.

They couldn’t figure out nuclear secrets going to the Chinese during the Clinton years - as you say... or missing documents that just ‘showed up’ at the Clinton White House.

Here some links to the ‘bought and paid for protesters’ - the same ones the press is accepting at face value.

Thanks for your insights.

They'll wait until they have a year or two to re-write history. Once a Republican is back in the White House, they'll make it look like the Republican Party was the sole instigator of F&F, that it was cooked up by the House and Senate leadership back when the Republicans had one-party control of Congress back in 2009 and 2010, that it was all done to make President Obama look bad and to help the rich owners of gun factories make a fortune.

And 54% of likely voters will believe it.

You're right. And the porn pusher - Flynt - is probably offering cash reward for dirt on him. It's like we're up against a criminal operation. Then again, the United States is the BIGGEST plum there is in the world - and no doubt there are groups that would like to destroy us or steal what we have...

Fast and Furious probably messed up liberal elite timing on the fake protest... Score one for the Americans.

It’s a lie - two groups doing stings - one group catching the criminals and the other group supplying them with guns that lack tracking devices are TWO very different operations.

Anybody seen crucial white house NSC staffer Kevin O’Reilly lately?

Certifiably alive, I mean.

The DOS hurriedly sent him on a “special mission” to Afghanistan when he was due to testify to Issa before Sept 30.

Kevin, if you're able to google yourself over there (that is, you are still breathing and have internet access), I'm doing what I can to keep you alive, buddy. Making that “stray bullet” a little less likely. Remember Ron Brown? Vince Foster? Etc?

And if your minders put you on a helicopter to move you to a “secure location,” make sure you strap in.

Ge ready for “I don't recall” to the answer to every Obama Appointee's sworn testimony and “ I refuse to answer and exercise my rights under the 5th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States to avoid self incrimination”

This should be interesting to watch. The Media won't cover it and will do every thing they can to cover up for the Obama Administration, but it should make for some very interesting viral YouTube videos

You mean the BUSH II that bent over and did NOTHING to stop Democrap Dumbies from destroying America when he was POTUS?

Yes, Bush had a gun WALKING program, track the guns etc. It didn't work and was stopped. Obama just said DUMP GUNS, Blame it on Bush, nothing to see here.

The MSM and other traitors are starting to get very nervous as the truth is LOUD and CLEAR on the internet.
