About time. It will be interesting to see how this plays. This direct conflict will demonstrate which is more powerful: the present adminstration and its immoral media enablers, or those who still understand the rule of law.

There were a ton of links in here, but I undersrtand there is damning documentation that shows F&F was re-purposed by a fairly legitimate gun tracing plan by the Bush administration (Operation Wide Receiver) into an anti-2nd amendment ploy by the Soetoro administration. They were going to “prove” that the gun-running into Mexico would be the cover story to clamp down on legitimate gun sales. Is that information out there?
MSM has been ignoring the scandal since it broke. Now Obama has forced his complicit media to cover the story.
ANY voter reading about this incompetent program will be outraged. If the emails prove the goal of the program was actually to limited 2nd Amendment rights in the US using dead Mexican civilians to do so, it’ll make the Watergate break in look like a school prank.
Others suggest Holder was being advised to correct his lie to Congress. Senior lawyers knew to put their advise in writing to have a paper trail shielding them from prosecution or disbarment when the truth was later exposed.
Holder should be cutting a deal to step down and avoid prosecution.
Next.
The GOP should be harping on one message every time F&F is mentioned. F&F was a program designed to result in Mexican deaths - so that 'evil' US-sourced guns could be found at the crime scenes and US gun laws could be blamed for the carnage. Holder, Napolitano, Hillary and Obama and a host of their minions cooked this program up knowing that Mexicans would die - in fact, needing Mexicans to die for this scheme to work. The only "botch" in the scheme was getting Americans killed too.
Whatever is in those documents is more damaging than the consequences for first claiming they had no involvement then proving/admitting their involvement by exerting executive privilege.
Just as with Sandy Burglar, the information in the documents was worse than the consequences for stealing them.
The two guys who broke this story don’t have anything up on either site. One is in the hospital. It must be pretty serious.
This should have been a big day for both of them.
“Holder should be cutting a deal to step down and avoid prosecution.”
Only if that deal includes telling the whole truth about what Obama knew and when he knew it...Only if that deal is enough to break this ‘President’ and bring him down.
Could that happen? Let’s see what cloth he is made of if the deal means escaping the death penalty...
I think Obama made the Executive Privilege claim precisely because Holder has the goods on Obama. In effect, he blackmailed Obama to buy the cover of EP. Obama would have long ago thrown Holder under the bus - if he could.
About time. It will be interesting to see how this plays. This direct conflict will demonstrate which is more powerful: the present adminstration and its immoral media enablers, or those who still understand the rule of law.

I think you’re right. hussein’s long-standing MO has been to cut people loose as soon as they are a problem, as soon as they threaten his advancement of his fascist/socialist agenda. That Holder has hung in so long, with such baggage...and now has somehow gotten hussein to invoke EP? hussein is risking a Supreme Court smackdown and/or has just linked himself directly to F&F if EP actually applies. Holder must have something on hussein, something big like his real birth certificate, literally dead bodies in the closet, pictures of them in bed together, etc.
NBC News spent exactly 10 seconds “covering” F&F over the past 18 months.
I wonder if any of their viewers will wonder why this scandal “suddenly” appeared? I’d love to know how NBC will spin it.
Last night I saw a few minutes of Rachel Madcow on MSNBC. I thought her head was going to spin like the girl on the Exorcist. She was foaming at the mouth about the insanity of the “right wing conspiracy theory” tying the “botched gun sting” to an attack on the 2nd Amd. It was fun to watch. But at least now they are mentioning the true meaning of F&F, even if only to reject it. That’s progress!
I suspect that Holder will be found in contempt by the whole Congress...but what will happen is what the Wall Street Journal was urging this morning, find him in contempt and then refer the matter to an AG (under Holder, of course) who will make the decision not to prosecute. I think that is probably what will happen.
It makes a mockery out of the whole thing. But that’s because, with the aid of the media, the Dems are framing this as a partisan kerfluffle over nothing, and I’d be really surprised if it picks up much steam outside of FR and a few conservative writers.
Your stomach is a whole lot stronger than mine, my friend.
And the lamestream media will spin the vote (All pubbies for and all libtards against)as a meaningless partisan vote.
Maybe the White Crib documents will prove that Mr. Soetoro lied to the President of Mexico about the whole stinky mess. Maybe that is the the White Crib's "national security" clam-up.
Is there an older brother Kent Terry to speak out? God bless that family.
Common sense tells us you are correct. But this is the MSM and the rules of common sense do not apply.
If anyone watched the national news on CBS, NBC, CBS or CNN last night they should report on how much coverage the story actually received and how close the MSM is adhering to the Dem talking points (as opposed to the truth).
Sigh. I just read on another post that Holder and Congress are “in talks” about the whole thing.
