Clinton: DOJ didn't give State a ‘heads up’ about Fast and Furious
The Hill ^ | 10/27/11 12:37 PM ET | By Joshua Altman

Posted on 10/27/2011 8:11:58 PM PDT by Texas Fossil

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told lawmakers Thursday that she had not been notified by the Justice Department about a botched, international gun-tracking program has been linked to the death of a Border Patrol agent.

Appearing before the House Foreign Affairs committee, Clinton was questioned by Rep. Connie Mack (R-Fla.) about the State Department’s involvement in the controversial Fast and Furious operation that has triggered hearings on Capitol Hill.

U.S. shares blame for Mexico drug violence, Clinton says Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, on a two-day visit to Mexico, accepts that the U.S. market for narcotics and a cross-border trade in U.S. guns contribute to Mexico's drug violence.

The “waiver” issue poses real problems for Holder. If DOJ didn't get the waiver (or didn't request a waiver) she should be really pissed — Oops, I forgot it's Hillary and evidently she didn't get pissed when the Slickster was getting BJs in the Oral Orifice.

Never forget what I said on the day of Obozo’s corronation (inauguration):

“Welcome to New Kenya (Africa U.S.A.)”

“Where the law of the jungle has replaced the Law of the Land.”

It is TIME to do something about it.

Pure as the driven snow, Hildebeast was first to be cited in the press (I think around 2009) for asserting 'that most of the illegal guns come to Mexico from the USA.'

She laid the egg that started Fast and Furious!

Oh, but there’s about zero chance she’s ever going to prison for anything.

As the calendar year 2011 is now nearly at its end, and 2012 is an election year, to continue to put off issuing those subpoena ad testificandum actions regarding Fast and Furious to the DoJ, the State Department, and others, will just about suit everyone.

The GOP, now having the power to subpoena, does not want to look like they are playing politics with an issue that just might impact election outcomes, that is, an October 2012 Surprise.

So, once again, are there those who are indeed above the law?

This is exactly what she is doing, just like the rest of them.

“Then how did the Secretary of State know exactly when to start making the complaint about “90% of the guns used by the cartels are coming from gun dealers and gun shows in the American Southwest.”
___________________________________________________________________________

Because the ATF’s 90% claim appeared in USA Today about a week before her statement.

She says she don't know when the State Dept knew of Fast and Furious?

She said she first heard of it in the press. But notice how differently she answered the second question....about the waiver.
IMO, the questioners should immediately CEASE using the term "Fast & Furious". I truly believe that she and others did NOT know about F&F......BY THAT NAME!!!!!

Anyone remember the dance that was done around the word "Whitewater" during the Banking Committee hearings in 95?

Keep an eye on Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Obama has really pissed him off with the relentless attacks on him, and Joe is no stranger to D.C. politics. He played that game and won many years ago.

I just watched that video. What she issued was a non-denial denial.
