It couldn’t turn into Obama’s Watergate, because Watergate was essentially kept alive by the media. There will be no Woodward and Bernstein here because absolutely no media figure is interested in following up on Obama’s misdeeds, lies or even criminal acts.

The US press corpse was too busy covering the 40th anniversary of Watergate to bother devoting coverage to Fast and Furious.

They are now trying to spin it as Bush’s scandal. Except if it was Bush’s fault, they would have covered it extensively long ago. Instead they suppressed coverage.

The problem here is that the press never liked Nixon.
This will go nowhere.

I hope I am wrong...

It's just treason, insurrection and murder of US LEOs and Mexican Nationals.

hillary is neck deep in the Honduras F&F, if prevailing opinions are correct. Even Napoleon had his Watergate. zer0 and his crowd now have theirs. As the lamestream seeks to ignore the facts ... regrettably ... more people are likely to die due to F&F.

In my opinion, Mrs.Hunt was a victim of Watergate; I don’t have any idea who killed her though.

>>>It’s important to note that the Bush administration oversaw something similar to Fast and Furious. Called Operation Wide Receiver, it used the common tactic of “controlled delivery,” whereby agents would allow an illegal transaction to take place, closely follow the movements of the arms, and then descend on the culprits>>>

A bit different than what the democrats are saying about Bush, huh?

Nixon tried to stonewall too - then again the press wasn’t trying to help Nixon... the ‘doting court eunuchs’ of the MSM have outdone themselves on this one. Shame on them...

Only republicans get prosecuted, card carrying democrats get a free pass from their socialist party counterparts in the press.

Like Watergate, actions that matter won’t happen until after the kenyan is re-elected. Chasing that spurious Executive Privilege call through the court will delay things for a year. If the Republican statist wins it will all be forgotten immediately and some of the perps will lose their government jobs, but only some.The romney will retain as much of the kenyan hires as he can except those positions he has to promise to supporters before the election. That does not stem from my anti romney animosities though those certainly exist. That has been Republican practice from wa-a-a-ay back. Even Reagan retained far too much of the Carter bureaucracy. That results in a lone Republican president whose implacable opposition is his own bureaucracy, especially the State Department. Democrats understand these things better and clean house in the bureaucracy and especially in the Military.
