Holder Doubles Down: Senior DOJ Officials Knew Nothing About Fast and Furious Tactics

[Joe Brower]

Once again we see how "we hang the petty criminals and promote the big ones to high office".

[HotHunt]

Eric Holder is obfuscating, denying, avoiding and plain old lying to the questions posed by the committee members. He seems so be either very incompetently unknowledgeable about this deadly illegal weapons operation going on right under his very nose or he is a LIAR. He has taken the "Hogan Heroes" Sgt. Schultz approach to responding to the investigators.

[Whats-wrong-with-the-truth]

Honestly it doesn't matter. Obomba and holder could confess that they are the sole architects and administers of the entire Fast and Furious program and it wouldn't matter. We don't have a single reprsentative with the balls to impeach, have arrested, censured... either of them. We have, in my opinion, a vast conspiracy and fraud being perpetrated on the American people.
Obomba should have been vetted and forbidden from being on the ballot; EVER. He... By his own admission violated this nations drug laws and committed several felonies. By his own hand he has presented fraudulent documents to the American people (i.e. the birth certificate he has released as authentic but that has been proven to be a fake, his social security number is a fraud,...). He has unilaterally taken over our nation and like the dictator he is, he is by executive order forcing his will upon the American people while simultaneously campaigning to become the first dictator of the New World Order. He illegally has misappropriated trillions of dollars of American taxpayer's money in order to bribe foreign rulers in order to garner their support in his quest to rule the world and NOT ONE SINGLE CONGRESSMAN or WOMAN has the guts to remove him from office. Let's not even get started with the Joint Chiefs. Those invertebrates have not only the Constitutional duty as evidenced by the oath each and every one of them took to this country's people and our Constitution, but the physical power as well to remove the tyrant from office and to either try him as an enemy combatant and or Treason yet they do nothing.

Do you really think these Fast and Furious trials are going to accomplish anything and if so... what?

To think there are people that honestly think Romney is better yet were are his calls for obomba and holder to be held accountable?

If asked I'd have to say that "The Avengers" movie is much more uplifting and entertaining than these fiascoes being played out in D.C.

[Verginius Rufus]

Holder has been stonewalling and getting away with it because of the media. What if the media had treated Watergate as a trivial story? Nixon would have served out his second term.

If I remember rightly, the death toll in the Watergate scandal was less than in the Fast & Furious scandal.

[Kaslin]

If I remember rightly, the death toll in the Watergate scandal was less than in the Fast & Furious scandal.

There was no death toll in the Watergate scandal

[Verginius Rufus]

There was no death toll in the Watergate scandal.

Yes, I knew that.

Unless you accept the theory that Howard Hunt's wife's death in a plane crash was not an accident.

[Macgedos]

This administration and the DOJ is stalling and hoping that if they stall long enough this matter will fade away. American people need to contact their rep’s and demand closure of this matter and support rep Issa in contempt of congress resolution. The American people need to write letters and make ph calls to demand closure or it will continue to stall and the real truth will never be known.

RE: "We have lost the language to liberals. We don't insist on words meaning anything. . . ."

logomachy (lo gom'a kee) - a dispute over words, misuse of words

Obama does that and he could be called Obamachy.

or possibly the left's langrage -- crap words used to damage our sails.

(I think they got the idea from Bill Ayers' langrage.. "a kind of shot consisting of bolts, nails, etc., fastened together or enclosed in a case" and exploded -- like at a San Francisco police station in 1971 injuring several and killing Sgt. Brian McDonnell. For 40-plus years friends in high places have protected the Ayers.)

[TigersEye]

FWIW John N. Mitchell was a former AG at the time. He resigned as AG in ‘72 to become Nixon’s campaign manager.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Yes, it is good to note that Mitchell was not perp-walked out of DoJ. But whatever he did caught up with him. Holder can a sweat a little thinking about that.

BTW I remember those days.. I hope someday before I die that the above top secret -- so far above that no one can imagine it -- information is released that tells what it was that Nixon did that JFK and LBJ did not do. I can't wait to read that!

I've always traced the moment when I thought the US jumped the shark to when they interviewed that Amish kid on the bicycle underneath one of the trees outside the Capitol while Bubba was being impeached; he said, "They hate on him cuz he's a playuh."

Just the other day I realized that same kid was just old enough to vote for Obama in 2008.

The US lost control of the urban public schools around 1990, and that was that.
