>We are watching one of the largest government misconduct scandals in history play out. In its scope and seriousness — Fast & Furious makes Watergate look like a case of shoplifting.<
It is bigger than Iran Contra from a legal point of view as well.
I hope that now as Issa has asked for a special prosecutor that the media will start reporting the seriousness of it and how big it is.
I was having a talk with my uncle, who has political leanings just left of lenin who said that this didn’t happen or he woudl have heard about it.
Media is still keeping it very quiet as long as they can.
Might be good - because it will come out in ‘12
And, in 2013, I want people going to jail over this one.
Historically, new administrations don't investigate or prosecute previous administrations -- a political courtesy, I suppose.
But Fast & Furious is not only responsible for the deaths of hundreds of innocents (including Mexico), it is such an egregious attack on the Constitution that the perpetrators simply must be prosecuted and punished.
We cannot allow this kind of criminal misconduct to survive in a government institution -- much less the highest offices of the land.
