The Administration can’t come down on these people very hard because it would lead right back to them. I believe this all came from the top.

I watched a good portion of the hearing. What's most telling is how Dems aren't really willing to defend the DOJ. Cummings, the ranking member..is putting up a front, but you can tell his hearts really isn't in it..I think he knows that it's all gonna end badly fro the DOJ, and Cumming won't waste his ammo.

BTW, Jason Chafetz was awesome questioning the AAJ...a real slimeball..I hope he runs against Hatch..

"CBS News Investigative Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson - who broke the story in February..."

Bull Crap! David Codrea and Mike Vanderbough had been writing about it for the last year. Let's fix it:

"CBS News Investigative Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson - who FINALLY broke the story IN THE LAMESTREAM MEDIA in February..."

I saw that as well and had to laugh. It was reported long before that by blogs and here on FR. It's only recently, and because of the efforts of Grassley and Issa, that the MSM has reluctantly picked up on it.

How long before David Ogden is thrown under the bus? Maybe there will be a teaching job waiting for him. Or MSNBC anchor.

At least they are reporting it now. ABC carried it on radio news as well.

“This is one of those opportunities for the administration to lead and say, ‘Look, we’re going to get anyone who is involved in authorizing this, if their judgment is involved ‘ - which it would have been and it was bad judgment, ‘they can’t do this job anymore,”’ Issa said. “That’s all we’re asking. We’re asking to make sure this doesn’t happen again and (Terry’s) family deserves that, too.”

Anyone who knew about this and did nothing to stop it should be arrested and charged as an accessory to the murder of the border guard.

The stench coming from mac,the liar, daddies administration of f-up, liars, traiors, cheats and all around morons is over powering. They are corrupt all the way to the bone with no redeming qualities.

Gun Walker Special - This is finally breaking on radio news, 770 AM, WABC in NY City, last night and today! One report used a segment with Grassley. Issa sounds as serious as a heart attack at the end of the story from CBS News.

Justice Department Accused of ‘Reckless Technique’ NY Times buried it on page A20.

I know its been said but I'll say it again. This was an operation to blame killings and shootings in Mexico and here on “irresponsible” gun dealers and the lack of “sensible” gun control.

I want to see the timeline. The administration was conferring with the Mexican govt’ on ways to keep guns from coming from the US to Mexico. Including, if I remember, putting onerious restrictions on dealers close to the border.

THIS WAS NOTHING MORE THAN AN BACKDOOR WAY TO EVENTUALLY BAN GUNSALES IN THE BORDER STATES!!!

F’in Treasonous bastards

“Whatever the intentions...”

The point is that the most plausible intentions were a treasonous conspiracy to plant phony crime-scene evidence to justify infringing second amendment rights of citizens.

Mr. Obama said, "Well, first of all, I did not authorize it. Uh, Eric Holder, the attorney general, did not authorize it. There may be a situation here (in) which a serious mistake was made, and if that's the case, then we'll find out and we'll hold somebody accountable."

Just my sense; this issue is on par with the Delta Force action on Waco TX. Clinton had to authorize that action as did the Obozo on this. Underlings, even the AG, don't do things like this without the president's approval.

Absolutely correct - Gunrunner was a plan to get guns bought in American gun stores in the hands of violent Drug Cartels to to manufacture a pretext for implementing the Obama administration's parallel agenda using executive administration power to further it's gun control agenda.

It's all part of Obama’s behind the scenes work to by pass Congress and weave a regulatory web of new gun control provisions.

Actually, this story was all over the blogosphere for weeks before that lady reporter from CBS, Sharyl Attkisson, first mentioned it. I expected her to get fired, but no, she had a new article just today, IIRC.

David Codrea and Mike Vanderbough of the Sipsy Street Irregulars were the first to break open this can of worms. I hope they're wearing their body armor.

FWIW, Issa's comments to Brian Terry's widow don't exactly wow me.
