This confirms my darkest fears.

Their near-death experience with the Clinton impeachment had permanently scared the Pubbies away from ever proposing to impeach ANYONE again. It will never, ever, ever, ever happen again in any of our lifetimes. Corrupt Dems now have a license to do whatever they please.

That is media matters and they are full of sh!t. There were guns walked AFTER the op was supposed to be over. No one knows who got them or how many. I have to go way back to find the articles, but media matters? Are you kidding me?

Mark Twain or Nachum, do either of you have the original Castaway articles?

This resolution is meaningless.

No, it is not. It forces the Congresscritters to go on the record on this matter. It gives us a clear indication of who is with us and against us when the next election comes up.

If any of these whimps weren’t whimps they’d file impeachment charges, not a resolution.

They should use the phrase “strenuously object” in the resolution to show how serious they are.

If they really mean business they should make sure the words are in bold print.

If that doesn’t work they should try to get Barney Frank to slap Holder with his glove.

Holder’s still in office.
Congresscritters can pass all the resolutions they want to.

If it’s the Tampa thing, we already have it.

We do? What is the Tampa thing?

There is this...

"Grenade-walking" part of "Gunwalker" scandal

And this...

Worse Than Gunwalker? State Dept. Allegedly Sold Guns to Zetas

Phil Jordan, a former CIA operative and one-time leader of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center, claims that the Obama administration is running guns to the violent Zetas cartel through the direct commercial sale of military grade weapons:

Jordan, who served as director of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center in 1995, said the Zetas have shipped large amounts of weapons purchased in the Dallas area through El Paso.

(snip)

“They’ve found anti-aircraft weapons and hand grenades from the Vietnam War era,” Plumlee said. Other weapons found include grenade launchers, assault rifles, handguns and military gear including night-vision goggles and body armor.

More about State Department involvement...

— has sources claiming “Obama’s man in the State Department,” (former) Deputy Secretary of State Jim Steinberg, was the State Department operative who helped Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and the Department of Justice Deputy Attorney General David Ogden formulate the strategy that led to the tactics used in Operation Fast and Furious.

Steinberg took office as Deputy Secretary of State on January 28, 2009

A little more than two years later, it was announced that Steinberg's time in the Obama State Department was over. From the New York Times, 30 March 2011:

Mrs. Clinton heaped praise on Mr. Steinberg, describing him as an “indispensable” partner. “On every foreign policy challenge, big and small, he has helped formulate our policy and oversee its execution,” she wrote. Mr. Steinberg, she said, played “Oscar to Jack Lew’s Felix,” referring to Jacob J. Lew, her other deputy, who left earlier this year to become Mr. Obama’s budget director.

You're welcome. I'm not sure but I think anything the State Dept. does like that would use the CIA and vice versa; when the CIA is transferring arms to foreign countries the State Dept. would have to sign off on it. I'm sure there are exceptions to the latter where the CIA isn't telling anyone what it's doing.

One thing is certain; Hillary owns everything the State Dept. does. I'll bet my money that she's the mastermind of all of this.
