"We're still working on gun control, but under the radar."
~~Pres. Obama to Sarah Brady.

Sources described as "previously highly credible" and "close to the Gunwalker investigation" are claiming "one and perhaps two sources within the Department of Justice headquarters...have approached the Issa Committee seeking whistleblower status," Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars blog is reporting this afternoon in an exclusive story.
"One source, who reported that there were at least two of Eric Holder's subordinates who 'came in from the cold,' characterized them as 'high-level" DOJ employees 'with knowledge of Eric Holder's actions before and after" the 4 February 2011 DOJ letter denying that the DOJ and its subordinate agencies knew about "gunwalking," Vanderboegh writes, noting one source said the whistleblowers bring with them "the keys to the kingdom."
Calling the development "surprising," Vanderboegh further notes it "has re-energized the investigation staff,which was widely rumored to be floundering after the reluctance, not to say opposition, of the GOP leadership became known some months ago."

Gunwalker / Murdergate ping.
If "this" doesn't come out before the contempt vote, those who vote against contempt when it does come out look like chumps and their opponents this Fall will have a club to beat them.
If "this"does come out before the contempt vote, those who vote against contempt will look like total idiots!
So, what game is being paid?
My money is on the new whistleblowers coming out AFTER the contempt vote if Issa has enough votes to get it anyway.
"We're still working on gun control, but under the radar."
~~Pres. Obama to Sarah Brady.
As Obama’s chances of re-election diminish, increasing numbers of people will want to protect themselves. They don’t want their names appearing on indictments when the new administration takes office.
I'll believe it when I see it.
The big question now is who throws who under the bus first? Does Holder toss Obama? or does he wait just a little too long and Obama tosses him?
Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars has done us proud ...again. Ping.
Time to bring it on home, wouldn’t you say?
Bump!
PING.......by all means!
And thanks a ton!
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I’m not familiar with him, or with the publication. Can you shed some light on their credibility? Thanks.

You can indict a ham sandwich....
I've heard this type of talk...for years. Rarely does someone go to jail. Rarely does someone get fined.
We the public are the rube's.......
gop leadership is doing what they do best... agreeing with and protecting their masters on the left.

It’s beyond disgusting.
Codrea and Vanderboegh were the ones who gave Sharyl Attkisson the head’s up and coined the name “Gunwalker” which was aka Fast and Furious.
More Wisconsin fallout? People are starting to think Obama’s NOT going to be re-elected...
Either you’re a whistle blower or you’re going to be under investigation yourself... Now’s the time to get on board the winning side.
It’s beyond question that Issa is the source for this article. I only hope that it’s not a play to suggest to Holder that he really should hand over the documents quickly so they don’t have to vote to charge him with contempt.
I suspected then that they must have irrefutable evidence against this guy. They gave him plenty of rope.
Thank you so much for the info and links! Much appreciated.
Thanks for the information!
You are both very welcome.
Whoever else goes down with Holder, I hope it includes all the Republicans who voted to confirm him.
“gop leadership is doing what they do best... agreeing with and protecting their masters on the left.”
So true, Boner is such a disgrace! Never trust a man who cries about the inconsequential. We must hold out hope that the new crop of TEA Party folks that were elected to the House in 2010 haven’t been co-opted yet and will vote to elect a real set of leaders in the next Congress. It’s bad enough we have Marxist RATs, but to have RINOs who are their enablers is criminal! As others have postulated, the Wisconsin vote coupled with the anti-PE votes in San Diego and San Jose, have really started the Obama ball downhill and it’s speed is increasing with each passing day. More and more candy assed politicians are going to be jumping ship and it’s going to be fun to watch!

For many politicians, the purpose of getting to DC is to get plugged into the network of insiders, and get the perks and fringe benefits of being a congress-critter: the inside info on how the economy will go, so your investments do well; the wining and dining by lobbyists; the cute young interns and lobbyist assistants, who are so eager the please; etc.
The problem is, you only get the perks as long as you play along. You can be as much of a lecher and as corrupt as you want -- as long as you please the real powers in DC the press will take no notice. The minute that you displease them by trying to oppose their agendas, however, all your past conduct goes under a microscope, and the accumulated files come out. This is why the longer politicians stay in DC, the more compromised they are.
WTH! Only 31 posts? Are people not buying the source? Not paying attention? Don’t care?
BTTT
This thread could use more attention!
I agree 100%.

As always, the question about why the left does what it does comes down to “evil or stupid?”
In this case, if the WB’s come out after, those voting in favor of Holder look stupid,
if before, they look evil.
Many here just don’t understand what the real battle is.
As will I. I will say, though, that if Issa ALREADY has rock-solid evidence in hand, Congress may pretend that they have a pair, knowing they have a winning hand, and do something. If not, I, like you, expect nothing to happen.
BumpTTT
That is a fantastic description if how our government institutions operate, if the press can’t dig up enough dirt they will manufacture it. Anyone opposing the DC machine get’s immediately Clintonized.
“He said, “I have to get positions on Committees so that I can bring home the bacon””
This is, at the core, what’s wrong with our government. Lets’ not close unneeded military facilities or terminate programs that are ineffective or not needed because a constituent might loose his or her job. So businesses that feed off the government are in reality more of those “government employees” FUBO talks about needing more of.
Was it "unexpected?"
Look at what happened to Palin, Herman Cain, and a host of others. If you are not part of the machine, then your past goes under a microscope until you either leave or are destroyed.
Indeed.

Number of replies is not a reliable measure of how seriously a thread or an issue is taken by the FR population. Consider that the cheeseburger prostitute thread now has more than 2,000 replies.
Sho’nuff, and as long as we have a polity full of the stupid they continue to get away with it every time.
PING TO THREAD
WOW...
Thanks, hm..this may be the beginning of the end. I didn’t have a chance to watch Holder in front of Congress - but he may not be sleeping too well right now.
Between this and the classified leaks coming from NSA it’s hard to tell what will bring down this administration to a level where the fools who voted it into office will grasp enough to vote it out.
Seconded. The gop leadership is inept.
