Legal niceties aside, besides all the crimes involved, this was supposed to be an "under the radar" political assault on the Second Amendment. About three quarters of Americans believe in the right to keep and bear arms the last time I saw numbers, IIRC, about the time of the Heller decision. As a minimum, Holder must be impeached! Let the Senate deal with removal after Labor Day.

the NRA has been pushing for information regarding who knew what in the administration,
Something like this could only have been approved at the highest, "feet on the desk in the oval office" level. Try to imagine who else could have had the cajones to make this sort of decision.

I would be willing to bet that this FACT is known to 95% of Freepers and 5% of the general public.

I’m sorry, ‘Most Americans have heard’?
Only Americans (and Brits) who follow internet blogs know about this scandal. The average basement dwelling lib knows nothing, hears nothing, sees nothing - I bet if I asked my few Dem friends what they know about it, they would have no response.

If there’s a subpoena, then the question is: who’s going to enforce it? Can you get the Justice Department to arrest Eric Holder? I think not. That’s the problem with trying to enforce a subpoena against the arm of government which is supposed to enforce the law.

According to their internal emails, it was all to advance their gun-control agenda. Does anyone know how this was suppose to work? So, was the fact that thousands of guns were in Mexico that came from the U.S. suppose to lead to gun-control measures? And "the plan" depended on no investigation of how the guns got to Mexico?
On its surface, this has got to be the most asshat plan ever disclosed. One needs to wonder what else hasn't come to the surface in the last 3+ years.
I Obama is re-elected, America is screwed with no recovery for decades, if ever.

With the murder of hundreds, perhaps thousands of Mexican nationals the dims still believe they are going to get the hispanic vote. Look for a GOP October surprise to stir the anger of hispanics against the DNC.

If theres a subpoena, then the question is: whos going to enforce it? Can you get the Justice Department to arrest Eric Holder?
You are looking at this from the wrong point of view.
If Holder refuses the Subpoena, the next step is for the House to Cite him for Contempt of Congress.
The next step after that is for the House to vote to Impeach him for being in Contempt, with a trial by the Senate.
At some point in this process, the MSM has to start reporting it to the public. And then the Senate Democrats have to record a public vote. And Obama has to decide whether it would be better to fire Holder rather than put the Senate Democrats on the spot just before an election.
The Democrats know this ... and do not want it to happen.
