Holder heading to House hot seat, Fast and Furious grilling on the way
The Daily Caller ^ | 12/7/11 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 12/07/2011 9:14:48 PM PST by Nachum

On Thursday morning, Attorney General Eric Holder will appear before the House Judiciary Committee and he’s set to get grilled over Operation Fast and Furious.

Fast and Furious was a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives program overseen by the Justice Department. The operation facilitated the sale of thousands of weapons to Mexican drug cartels via straw purchasers. Straw purchasers are people who legally purchase guns in the United States with the known intention of illegally trafficking them into Mexico.

At least 300 people in Mexico were killed with Fast and Furious weapons, as was U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.

Holder first testified about Fast and Furious before the House Judiciary Committee on May 3, and then testified about it before the Senate Judiciary Committee on November 8. This is Holder’s third major appearance before a congressional hearing on the operation, and second before the House, which Republicans control.

What a spectacle, to have dumb and dumber questioning back to back! I recal maxipad Waters berating the regulators when the fraud at Fannie and Freddie was under committee discussion. Is this maxipad this ardent in playing democrap politics only when a democrat black person is before the committees? Is there any doubt that these two idiot bookeneds have been prepped to ask certain questions for criminal Holder to smack out of the ballpark? What a joke democrats have become.

The Dems are using this hearing to push gun control, implying this is not Holders fault.

I can see why Herman Cain was such a threat to these people, and the effort to knock him down. A black conservative doesn’t fit with the pack.

I am watching Holder in front of the committee now. My blood pressure is up at least 20 points.

Spectacle? That is much too kind. I cannot print what I want to say...

Herman Cain was the single greatest threat to the democrap party plantation scheme since Johnson started the whole enslavement with 'the great society'. Johnson knew his little ploys would hook black people into dependency and he told his administration goons that in rather off-color language. Johnson, however, pales in comparison to the subsequent plantation masters and their evil works. Johnson robbed the treasury to establish his plantation. The current bastards are indenturing US and our great grandchildren to accomplish their goal of federal oligarchy under global controls.

The current demons of the DNC have used the slaughter of alive unborn children as an empowerment scheme for Democrat progressivism, so it should not surprise us when they used lies and whores to assassinate the character of Herman Cain. It still bothers me though, that black people are apparently too stupid or too sold out to being 'taken care of' in the main to see how they are manipulated by the democrat party and the bastards of the media.

Johnson's end legacy will be the final demise of The Republic, and I doubt he started with that goal in mind. But the current crop of democrats want to end the Republic and impose a federal oligarchy on the European socialist model. Men like Herman Cain see it and they would awaken their race to it, so he must be destroyed.

I feel the same. Just hearing him talk about it like he has no involvement and is not responsible is maddening. He needs to be held accountable. Maybe the best thing will be for him to be tried under the next administration, where he will be less likely to be pardoned.

Holder just said, he never spoke to Napolitano and he “thinks” he never spoke to Obama.
