“Your point seems to be that since people died over gunwalker and not Watergate, It should be taken as a much more serious matter, and greater punishment should result.”
That was my point exactly, not seemingly, so you are correct although I was not referencing the degree of punishment. I was addressing the subject at hand and not trying to expand on it which you did and which points I did not follow as to me they were out of context without a lead in explanation to them. Given the explanation, I see where you were going.
Fast and Furious is right out there in the open and does not require supposition. The facts are simple, the government allowed straw purcheses of firearms and in some cases provided them with the financial resources to do it. The firearms went to Mexico where Mexican nationals were killed and at least 2 US agents were killed also. A host of firearms are out there in criminal hands on both sides of the boarder. The Justice Department is trying to quell the damage by a cover up. Those are the facts and they are incontrovertible.
IMO, criminal charges aside, at a minimum Holder should be fired and forced to give up Soetero or go to jail.
I totally agree with your opinion, there should at least be jail time. However, the constitution allows for capital punishment for treason.
My purpose is not to debate punishment, but to inform people who seem to be unaware of the historical precedents for dealing with the criminal activities of a sitting US president.
Yes, this is worse than Watergate. So were Clinton’s many crimes, but all he lost was his law license.
Congress will not put Obama or Holder away for this. Holder may just resign resign to save the POTUS punk and get another job in Chicago.
