Officials at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) who oversaw the lethal gun-walking scheme, Operation Fast and Furious, have reportedly been suspended for their actions -- perhaps because of a forthcoming report from the Office of the Inspector General.

Only a matter of time before Holder gets the axe.

And in a fair and just world... Obama would be hounded by the press until he too resigns.

Suspended? What does that mean? I got suspended from high school for missing school on the first day of deer season. The suspension was for one day.

Suspensions ... reprimands .... not enough.

Nothing is going to come of this.

Only resolution is to make Obama a one term present.

Taking the fall for the big boys. How much is the payoff?

When do the liars in the White House get fired?

Holder can’t continue to pretend he didn’t know.

If Holder knew, then Obama knew.
In fact, they directed the scheme.

It was the “under the radar” anti-gun effort that Obama discussed in public.

“Only a matter of time before Holder gets the axe.”

I don’t want him to just get the axe, but like the rest of the criminal world, they need to go to the pen. Obama can be his cell mate.

The first line of scape goats thrown to the wolves - hoping to give themselves more escape time -

How long can this investigation drag on before everyone loses interest?

We keep seeing - “new revelations” only to find, they are just old ones rehashed.

Time to lower the ax, issue some indictments/ grand juries. Enough of the pussy footing.

......... (the sound of one hand clapping).

It is about time. I hope that Holder is next and that our “Dear Leader —the great O” soon tells Sarah Brady that ain't nothing going to happen regarding gun control either down low or on the radar from his administration ever again.

Sort of like giving article 15s to the enlisted sailors of the USS Arizona because it sank at Pearl Harbor.
