At this point, an AK47 could be found personally engraved with Eric Holder's signature and well wishes to the Zetas, Holder would still deny it, and the GOP would keep right on sitting on its thumbs.

boehner has stopped Issa from putting any teeth into these hearings. He has refused ro allow a contempt citation against holder or any other action that Issa’s committee could use to hold the doj’s feet to the fire. Boehner alone has stood in Issa’s way from the gitgo. He needs to be replaced.
Issa can’t do anything without boehner’s approval which has not been forthcoming. He has stopped Issa dead in his tracks.
He’s waiting to see the whites of his eyes!
Can't remember his name off hand, but how about the former, temporary head of the ATF? Remember, he had that "secret" meeting, with his own atty. present, with Issa over the last 4th of July weekend.

President Barack Obama indignantly hit back Friday at “offensive” charges that his administration disclosed vital national security secrets to beef up his image in an election year, insisting he has a “zero tolerance” approach to leaks that endanger America’s interests.

“We have mechanisms in place where, if we can root out folks who have leaked, they will suffer consequences. In some cases it’s criminal, these are criminal acts when they release information like this. And we will conduct thorough investigations as we have in the past,” he said.
I have a few ideas, but they are rather drastic.
No, but the 3rd Reich wasn't tried by their own government either.
BOMBARD Congress with phone calls & emails - with special attention to Boehner. Ask ask them if they have been paying attention to Wisconsin.
Tell them that WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING & we are tired of waiting for them to get off their collective asses or suffer the consequences.
You left out Valerie Jarett. FWIW I was referring as much to their style and tactics as their origins. I’m not sure I can accept the premise that because they fought the Daley Machine that means they’re not raised on and part of the Chicago Machine though.
No doubt. In order to get someone to commit to a losing hand you don't want to let them know you're holding a winning hand.
We’ve done all that just to get where we are now.

POTUS and the AG could barbeque and feast on infant babies in front of reporters from ABCNNBCBS/NYT/WaPo/LAT, and they would not report it.
Welcome to the USSA, comrade, where American Pravda goes by many names, but speaks with one mind and voice.
Alinsky tactics don’t work with me.
Please explain how it is possible that the CIA would not know about the multi agency Fast and Furious program that was arming the enemy of the Zetas -who you claim were being armed by the CIA.
You're mincing words.
You sure are pushing CIA theories. ...it’s just you are pushing the theory that they were arming the Zetas.
That is not a theory it is a quote from an article where Plumlee and Jordan are the sources.
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.Robert “Tosh” Plumlee, a former CIA contract pilot, told the Times he supported Jordan’s allegations, adding that the Zetas have reportedly bought property in the Columbus, N.M., border region to stash weapons and other contraband.
“From the intel, it appears that a company was set up in Mexico to purchase weapons through the U.S. Direct Commercial Sales Program, and that the company may have had a direct link to the Zetas.”
“The information about the arms trafficking was provided to our U.S. authorities long before the ‘Columbus 11' investigation began,” said Plumlee, referring to recent indictments accusing several Columbus city officials of arms trafficking in conjunction with alleged accomplices in El Paso and Chaparral, N.M.
Jesús Rejón Aguilar, the number three man in the Zeta’s hierarchy, disclosed last week that the Zetas bought weapons in the United States and transported them across the Rio Grande. Mexican federal authorities captured Rejón on July 3 in the state of Mexico, and presented him to the news media the next day. His recorded video statement was uploaded on YouTube.
Jordan agreed with Plumlee’s allegations that the Zetas are operating in the Columbus-Palomas border.
You were the one who brought Plumlee and Jordan into this to support your CIA conspiracy theory. You don't like what they say now?
