Eric Holder gave false info. to a Congressional Committee last May about ATF operations tied to the deaths of two U.S. Agents; we have the proof.
(SALEM, Ore.) - New information indicates that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder's actions are squarely behind the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) operation known as "Fast and Furious", which orchestrated the delivery of almost 2,000 weapons to Mexican drug cartels[1].
Holder openly proclaimed his connection to the operation in April 2009 during a publicized speech in Mexico, then told a Congressional Committee in May 2011, "I probably heard of Fast and Furious the first time in the last few weeks."[2]
The ATF weapons smuggling ring involved the arrest of several government officials with the city of Columbus, New Mexico including the mayor and police chief, but that is all[3].

Getting more traction, that’s good. Although I’m still waiting for this to be on the front page of the Philly Inquirer...../crickets/
Resigned...never proceeded to impeachment.
I’ve really been reading all I can find on this hoping this is the bugger that brings this evil crew down./
Good for you and I really thank you for explaining it so this old girl’s brain could comprehend. I am not a devious person and schemes like this don’t come easy for me.
Looks to me like the Marxist's in our Government have more than gun control laws up their sleeves. Sounds like arming an invasion to me.
From what I’ve read, most speculate that it was to prove the existence of an “iron river” of weapons flowing to Mexico from the U.S., thus requiring the imposition of strict new gun laws in the U.S. in violation of the Second Amendment.
yes...lock and load because the final assault and attempted take over is coming.
Nixon was actually impeached (that means "charged") by a vote in the House of Representatives. Other charges were being considered.
Rather than let it go to trial in the US Senate, Nixon resigned from the presidency.
I was there. It was an amazing but heartbreaking (for America)constitutional crisis.
Nixon was not impeached.
“I’m hoping this gets out of holder and obammys ability to control.”
I think this train has left the station. There is no going back now. Its just going to get worse and worse. I’m praying it goes all the way up to O’bowbow.
Nixon resigned before the vote was taken. (Should have added that.) Artlicles were drafter and hearings were convened, but the vote was never taken.
A year or so ago Hillary Clinton brought up that there were assault rifles being found in Mexico that were bought here in the US. It was part of the anti-gun campaign. I wonder what she knew and when did she know it? Hillary may very well be in the know on this.
Yes, clinton was impeached and that is an unhonorable tag he’ll never shake off. So the way to go if he doesn’t resign is the impeachment avenue. Can you even imagine what will be uncovered especially for that commie infesting the WH.
It is obvious these people care nothing at all about the Constitution. This “fast and furious” was nothing more than a set up to squeeze out emotional “boo hooing” as a means to demonstrate “how bad and evil American gun dealers and owners are”. It is a complete criminal fraud and criminal conspiracy in order to blame “gun running” on us! A means to kill the 2nd amendment—using this “gun running” as an excuse.
So where’s the impeachment proceedings?? When are the prison sentences for Holder, Obama going to be meted out??
You got that right Pricilla.
I’m glad it isn’t a crime to lie on polls though.
We should be thanking the Salem, Oregon paper for printing this. It’s a start.
Impeachment is not enough. We need a criminal trial and incarceration for this scumball. Just forcing him out of office would be an injustice for those who have been killed by this ill-conceived program. And we should also try and jail those who were instrumental in carrying it out.
Hillary had to know. Even the ATF, in all it’s ineptitude, couldn’t run an operation like this without acknowledgement, if not outright approval, from the State Department.
