Lawless DOJ Targeted Attkisson Over Fast And Furious
Investor's Business Daily ^ | November 24, 2014 | IBD editorials

Posted on 11/24/2014 11:12:43 AM PST by raptor22

Corruption: Smoking-gun emails show how the administration sought to derail a CBS reporter's investigation of its "gun-waking" operation — a reporter whose computers were mysteriously and mercilessly hacked.

Fast and Furious, along with Benghazi, is one of the two "phony" administration scandals that produced body bags, and former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson is responsible for much of the truth-telling about both. That fact is enough to put her high atop the administration's enemies list.

Attkisson, a casualty of liberal media bias, resigned from CBS in March after a series of clashes between her and her bosses over her exposes of administration wrongdoing and its subsequent cover-ups. An email thread obtained by government watchdog Judicial Watch show just how upset Eric Holder's Justice Department and the White House were over Attkisson's reporting and how hard they tried to undermine her.

The email thread's topic was concern over news reports linking Holder directly to the Fast and Furious program that had resulted in the deaths of agents Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata at the hands of Mexican drug cartels. The killers used weapons funneled south of the border under the administration's program.

The first email in the thread between Tracy Schmaler, who headed Holder's Office of Public Affairs, and White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Shultz, timed at 7:46 a.m. on Oct. 4, 2011, titled "No stories," noted that media outlets such as the New York Times, Associated Press, Washington Post, Reuters and Bloomberg were ignoring Fast and Furious. There was one notable exception — Attkisson of CBS News.

The USA used to not be a fascist hell hole, but it will always be one as long as the current administration stays in power.

I’ll bet you that 60 to 70% of the people living in this country are on the Obama regime’s “enemies list”. I’m pretty sure that being a white, heterosexual male with a job makes it automatic.

I wonder if Sharyl Attkisson has torn up her Communist Party membership card yet.

For all of you who think these people will voluntarily leave in January of 2017, do you really believe that? After all the lawlessness that this group has perpetrated since they showed up in 2009, do you REALLY think they're just going to walk away after being voted out?

This article gives a hint as to the excuse that they'll be using. "So many people failed to vote. They chose not to vote because Lord 0bama was not on the ballot. Therefore Lord 0bama is going to remain in the office of president, with the support of everyone who did not vote."

Here, let me provide some help to all the investigators on Capital Hill...if there are any. This lead only has two words in it, "Valerie Jarrett."

IRS, Benghazi, Solyendra, the NSA spying on congresscritters, John Roberts, immigration EO, etc....

It would not surprise me if the Liar-in-chief does not leave.

I was thinking the the current administration needs to be removed from office for its crimes.

Let's call Fast and Furious what it is. State-sponsored terrorism.

On this side of the border it's violations of the RICO Act. In Mexico and Honduras it's state-sponsored terrorism.

What else would you call heavily arming international criminal syndicates within a foreign country wherein that country is in a death struggle with those syndicates?

Especially when it goes beyond thousands of assault rifles to include grenades, RPGs, shoulder fired rockets, anti-aircraft guns, night vision equipment, body armor and special deals to bring their drugs onto our soil with legal impunity?

Not to mention that the rip crew that killed BP Agent Brian Terry was there with DEA and FBI assistance and approval to attack and kill a rival cartel's smuggling crew.

Let's not leave out the DEA laundering millions of dollars for the drug cartels by setting up bank accounts for them that they otherwise couldn't do.

It's organized, it is spread through every Federal LEA and it violates numerous domestic laws and numerous statutes and treaties that deal with foreign nations. Yet none of it has been officially sanctioned. It's the FedGov acting like mafiosa.

0bama, Holder and Hillary Clinton are all deeply involved in this and it is state-sponsored terrorism. These criminal thugs are dragging our country down to the level of Tehran and Pyongyang.

Everything from the Black N White Hut for the last 6 years would lead straight back to VJ, and everyone thrown under the Obama bus was thrown under there by VJ, including Rod Blagojevich, Rahm Emanual, Hillary Clinton. Oprah Winfrey was insulted by her. VJ was in charge in the war room on the night of Benghazi.
