Attorney General Eric Holder has a problem with the accuracy of his congressional testimonies.
For example, on May 3, 2011, Holder – when asked when he became aware of the “Fast and Furious” gun-walking scandal, told the House Judiciary Committee, “I’m not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks.” But as CBS News reported, “Internal Justice Department documents show that at least ten months before that hearing, Holder began receiving frequent memos discussing Fast and Furious.” This forced Holder to confess to Senate Republicans that the Justice Department had provided “inaccurate” information to Congress during his May 3 testimony.
Now comes Retraction Number Two.

“What is the Obama administration hiding, and why are they hiding it?”
No statute of limitations on murder.
Because Obummer has his slimy socialist finger prints all over it.
What did the president know and when did he know it?
Retraction #2.
Holder blamed Bush’s last AG for being briefed on gunrunning to Mexico, before obamma took office, trying to make obamma and Holder look good by carrying on what Bush approved.
But today, Holder had to retract that statement, saying he misspoke (Washingtonspeak for lying).

But today, Holder had to retract that statement, saying he misspoke. You would think the US AG would have his facts correct before he speaks, unless he is trying to mislead??
Too bad they can’t be infected with some sort of malady that doesn’t allow them to lie, a la “Liar, Liar”...
It’d be great to see 0bama give a speech where he lays out his true vision for the country, his contempt for its founding principles, etc...
and, on this issue - “yes, I want to deny the individual the ownership of firearms, but I knew it wasn’t politically viable to do it in the open, so I orchestrated F&F in order to get it done without political consequence.”
does it add up?:
Honduras? Why would ATF walk guns to Honduras?
and this........
Obama Admin Lobbying Honduras To Allow Zelaya Back In? Are You Kidding?
What could possibly be the motive behind this lunacy?
On the last day of December last year, Manuel “Mel” Zelaya, the deposed Honduran president and self-described victim of high-frequency radiation attacks by Israeli mercenaries, vowed to the press that he would return to Honduras. Few outside of Honduras have paid much attention to Zelaya’s MacArthur-esque prediction, but it has become apparent there is more behind his declaration than his usual hyperbole and bombastic absurdities.
Behind the scenes in the Obama administration there appears to be a concerted effort to pressure the democratically elected government of President Porfirio Lobo to dismiss charges of misappropriation of government funds and falsifying documents that are pending against Zelaya. This would open the door for his return to the country, and would be certain to undermine the delicate process of reestablishing democracy and order that is currently taking place in this poor and beleaguered nation.
When Zelaya was removed from office in July of 2009, the Obama administration at first joined with leftist dictators Fidel Castro of Cuba, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, and Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua in calling for his reinstatement. The Obama White House seemed oblivious to the Honduran constitution, as well as the threat Zelaya posed to the stability of the country and the region. When the courageous Honduran people held firm to their democratic constitution and refused to yield to the pressure exerted by the U.S., the Obama administration found no way of saving face other than reversing course and backing the democratic presidential elections called for by their constitution.
The Honduran Connection 7.7.11 Now we know why Hillary Clinton and Obama were falling all over themselves to support and prop-up the Honduran Marxist dictator-wannabe, Manuel Zelaya back in 2009. I never could figure out why they would create such blatantly unflattering, pro-Marxist optics for the Obama regime for a small country like Honduras. Now it all makes perfect sense. Zelaya attempted to overthrow the Honduran constitution and install himself as dictator for life, a la Hugo Chavez. The Honduran Congress AND Supreme Court followed their Constitutional Rule of Law to the letter and removed Zelaya. Within hours Obama and Clinton were threatening Honduras and demanding that the Marxist dictator Zelaya be re-installed. Now we know why. Obama and Clinton were arming Zelaya and were coordinating with Zelaya to run arms through Honduras. Presumably the deal was that some of the arms would stay with Zelaya and most would move into Mexico from the South. Then, Obama and Clinton could "find" U.S. guns in Southern Mexico and Central America, and thus use these optics to bolster their false contention that "90%" of Mexican guns were sourced directly from the U.S. "See? U.S. guns are all the way down in Chiapas State and Guatemala. U.S. guns are everywhere! The Second Amendment simply is not feasible any longer!"
Baby Doc's Back - will Obama Back Aristide?
US revokes visas to pressure Haiti on election
Do you have an article for the 2nd retraction? I would like to post it on freerepublic.
I remember that around 2009 to 2010, every Democratic Lawmaker in Washington was screaming about the United States Guns and Machine Guns showing up in Mexico, and that it was caused by that Wicked 2nd AMENDMENT!!! and that it was high time to repeal the 2nd AMENDMENT!! Anybody remember that massive Outcry and the exact appeals? I know Pelosi and Reid were carrying that Talking Point everyday!
I believe “FAST and FURIOUS” was developed by the DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP to DESTROY Our 2nd Amendment RIGHTS!!!
Only now are We learning the Facts and now the WHITE HOUSE has directly implicated themselves by declaring Executive Privilege at this very late moment! WOW!! IT REALLY STINKS!!

Holder retracts claim Bush team knew about Fast and Furious
This may have already been posted. I know similar stories have been.
0bama orchestrated Fast and Furious, directed the foot-dragging when investigators began asking questions, and is now trying to cover up. He definitely has committed Impeachable offenses - IF you can impeach someone who is in the office illegally! His actions amount to TREASON!
Thank you for this excellent informative Post, a true Must Read as we watch “FAST and FURIOUS” unfold amid packs of Lies from the Obama HUSSEIN Administration and Holder’s Department of INJUSTICE and SCANDALS!

We are all racists now.
A.) culpability
B.) to avoid being impeached
I was just getting ready to post the same thing. I believe the documents will show that F&F was initially an excuse to take away gun rights, and Obama, Pelosi, and Reid were in on it. You are correct, Pelosi kept hammering about how so many of our guns were showing up in Mexico, and we need more regulations (bans). I wonder if YouTube still has her saying as such.
I been spending the day on the leftwing sites extolling the virtues of Hillary in 2012.
They are fighting about it. Hysterical.
Thanks!!! I’ll check YouTube right now! I think You should still post your originally intended post! It can only help the Cause!
