KUHNER: Obama’s Watergate (Fast & Furious/Operation Castaway)
Washington Times ^ | December 15, 2011 | By Jeffrey T. Kuhner

Posted on 12/15/2011 6:01:59 PM PST by Texas Fossil

A year ago this week, U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was murdered. He died protecting his country from brutal Mexican gangsters. Two AK-47 assault rifles were found at his death site. We now know the horrifying truth: Agent Terry was killed by weapons that were part of an illegal Obama administration operation to smuggle arms to the dangerous drug cartels. He was a victim of his own government. This is not only a major scandal; it is a high crime that potentially reaches all the way to the White House, implicating senior officials. It is President Obama’s Watergate.

"What did Mr. Obama know? Massive gun-smuggling by the U.S. government into a foreign country does not happen without the explicit knowledge and approval of leading administration officials. It’s too big, too risky and too costly. Mr. Holder may not be protecting just himself and his cronies. Is he protecting the president?",/P>

Bingo We have a Winner!!

You know damn well that, were the political parties reversed, Agent Terry’s family members would be sitting next to the First Lady at the upcoming SOTU, and featured once again (very probably) at the Democrat National Convention next summer.

By any standard I can think of, this was worse than Watergate and by many times multiplied.

It has one similarity to Watergate in that both involved trying to cover up what happened.

The difference is in Fast and Furious, the actual crime is much, much, more serious than the cover up, but it seems even the conservatives seem to be pushing the cover-up story as the big one.

No, aiding in the murder of American Federal Employees and maybe hundreds of citizens South of our border is the worse crime and by far.

Yes, but Democrats did it; they will get a pass.

I would be very surprised if we see any removals due to Fast and Furious. It’s unfortunate, but it’s the most likely scenario.

Obama and Holder apparently still think they are untouchable. Probably they are with the media having their backs.

They are right in the open sending far more guns to Mexico with these being legal, at least until they get to Mexico. Then they will join all the other guns “supplied to Mexican Criminals” by Americans due to “our lax gun laws”.

They have been caught with their pants down and are acting like no one saw them and according to the media for the most part, no one did see them.

Jeffrey T. Kuhner better watch his ass, or he’ll be among the first group of American citizens to be picked up and shipped off to Gitmo without charge, indictment, trial or conviction.

Think it can’t happen?

FBI Criminal Informant Complicit in Brian Terry’s Death (PJM Exclusive)

The rip crew was in Peck Canyon that evening with the intention of stealing money and drugs from a specific shipment of which they had prior knowledge.

(snip)

The rip crew knew to be in Peck Canyon that December evening because a CI working for the FBI found out about a smuggling run — from the FBI.

(snip)

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) — through its own CIs and communications intercepts — was also aware of the planned assault.

Neither the DEA nor FBI warned Border Patrol about the expected criminal activity.

(snip)

The federal government will still not reveal if one of the two WASR-10 AK-pattern semi-automatic rifles located near the scene — provided to the Sinaloa cartel via Operation Fast and Furious — was the weapon that put a bullet through Brian Terry’s heart. The existence of a third recovered gun, an SKS carbine, has been disputed by the FBI despite the fact it had been talked about openly in the beginning of the investigation among federal agents.

Multiple sources tell PJM that this third weapon “disappeared” because it was the weapon carried by the FBI CI who ran the rip crew. When it was recovered near the scene of the murder and subsequently traced by the ATF, it traced back to the FBI CI via the gun shop in Texas where it was purchased.

Question:

When are Democrats/Progressives/Communists ever held accountable for treasonous and subversive activities?

(Answer: Never.)

IMHO

When high officials conspire to diminish a point of the Bill of Rights, and cause the death of hundreds of foreign nationals in the process, at the very least this begs for impeachment or removal from office under criminal indictment.

Given the effect they hoped to have on the Constitution, this touches on the subject of treason.

Here is a petition to call for Eric Holder's prosecution.
Tea Party Petition to Prosecute Eric Holder

After signing the petition you will get an automatic way to send an e-mail to your Congressman and Senators. You can use their text or fill in your own.

I strongly encourage all FReepers to sign that petition and to send their own thoughts about this to their Congress critters. Let them know that you are aware of this issue and that you are not going to forget about it. Let them know you will be watching to see what they do about it.

I am beginning to worry that we have approached the days in Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, and China currently.

Any official who tries to shine the light on these Obama cockroaches will be prosecuted by the U.S. Justice Dept. Same goes for journalists who don’t play along with the party line.

These people are in real danger of going to jail on manufactured charges just like Scooter Libby

Let me say this about that:

This SHOULD be Obamas Watergate, his Waterloo, and his Bridge too far.

Now lets look at reality.

He has the media in his pocket, The Senate in his pocket, and the Supreme Court in his pocket.In the case of the Supreme Court the fact that they find every excuse imaginable NOT to look at his credentials, tells us that they are in his pocket or just plain Chicken crap.

With no Republican with the courage to even ask for his Bona fides they are not about to make a stink.Soon Mr. Issa will fade away, and about election time it will all be over.

Yes, but Democrats did it; they will get a pass.

There are some serious Republican bulldogs on their a$$. A lot will depend on the GOP maintaining control of house chairmanships and whether they can gain control in the Senate. I.e., this next election is important on all levels.

no one did see them

Some did see this. And what has been "seen" cannot be "unseen".

Fast and furious will be a good litmus test to see if the country really is a country of laws or one which has been taken over by Marxist criminals.

The facts are pretty much known by now and they clearly are the stuff of criminal activity used to push an agenda.

If at least Holder doesn’t go to jail, then we will know the Commies have won and it is all over.

All we can do is fight on, hoping there is still a chance to win when all indications are that we have already lost.

This is the 1st article I have seen in a well known paper suggesting a link between Obozo and the actual operation of Fast & Furious.

Kuhner’s logic is flawless. Let’s see what happens now.

Remember Woodward & Bernstein?

I remember the Democraps had a real hissy fit when Poindexter and North went around the Boland ammendment by playing both sides in the Iran-Irag war selling weapons and using the profits to fund the Contras in Nicaragua. I thought it was brilliant in all aspects (it kept Iran and Iraq shooting at each other, it fueled the guerilla war against the Democrap buddy Sandinistaa, and it short-circuited the Boland ammendment).

Later they had no problem when Clinton was accused of skimming off the top on the illegal drug flights to Central America in and out of Mena, Arkansas.
