DOCUMENTS CONFIRM ERIC HOLDER’S ROLE IN FAST AND FURIOUS COVER-UP
Powerline ^ | 15 Apr, 2016 | PAUL MIRENGOFF

Posted on 04/15/2016 4:37:45 PM PDT by MtnClimber

“Fast and Furious” is back in the news. The reason? In January, Judge Amy Berman, an Obama appointee, ordered the Department of Justice to produce documents relating to the “gun walking” scandal that Congress had been seeking for four years. DOJ finally produced them, some 20,000 pages worth, this month.

For anyone who has forgotten about Fast and Furious, here’s the short version. In 2010, a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Agent was killed while on patrol near the Mexican border. The only two firearms found at the scene were semi-automatic rifles the Obama-Holder Justice Department allowed to “walk”. That operation allowed approximately 2,000 firearms to flow illegally into the hands of Mexican cartel associates.

When the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform tried to investigate the scandal, Team Obama stonewalled. First, it denied that law enforcement officers allowed straw purchasers to buy firearms illegally in the United States with the intent to traffic them without apprehension. Almost a year later, it finally admitted that this is precisely what had happened.

Second, when the Committee subpoenaed relevant documents, Eric Holder’s DOJ refused to produce them, citing “executive privilege.” The House voted to hold Holder in contempt and filed suit to obtain the documents. Three and half years later, Judge Jackson ordered production of the 20,000 pages mentioned above.

Having reviewed these documents, Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, has released a memo summarizing what they show. Chaffetz states:

More than previously understood, the documents show the lengths to which senior Department officials went to keep information from Congress. Further, the documents reveal how senior Justice Department officials—including Attorney General Eric Holder—intensely followed and managed an effort to carefully limit and obstruct the information produced to Congress.

Lets hope we elect a Republican president who will have the FBI bring all involved to swift justice and throw the book at those convicted. They should be tried in a death penalty state.

Well I hope that Holder piece of crap, and his buddy, BHO, get the max. It’s all I can do, hope.

Yes, and why don’t we hear more from Mexico about the deaths there caused by this 0bama/Holder scheme?

May Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata see justice meted out to all responsible people in the 0bama regime.

And don't forget the 300+ Mexicans who lost their lives because of 0bama's Fast & Furious assault on the 2nd amendment.

Congress should send a letter to the Mexican government formally requesting that they indict Holder and demand his extradition to face trial there.

It is unfortunate that neither Holder or Obama will have to stand trial for accessory to murder for the approval of the sale of the guns for their use as murder weapons. It is obvious they were going to be used so the Obama government in their infinite wisdom could identify them and catch the cartel people. The federal statues for capitol crimes is 5 years and Obama won’t loose his executive privilege until after he and the wife steal the white house towels going out. The crime was identified in 2010.

Yawn.
We all know Holder was up to this arse in Fast and Furious. Hell he was found to be in contempt of Congress for his role and his lies about it.
Penalty?
I am still waiting .
Like all of the ruling class, he is above and beyond the law.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

No, I don’t think so.

That is the cover story.

Much more likely is that they were intended to swing the balance of cartel power in favor of the Sinaloa cartel.

I had thought this for years, and then one of the weapons was actually discovered in the possession of El Chapo Guzman when he was recaptured.

As the what was the quid pro quo from the Sinaloa cartel . . . ??? Hmm. How about LOTS of $$$?

Call me a cynic, but I think money is probably behind a lot of inexplicable deals, also including the $150 billion to Iran. Obama will be very wealthy within a few years of leaving office, and Kerrey will be even wealthier than he is now.

Holder = Obama’s top criminal thug buddy, who was in charge of enforcing the laws of this country.

My first thought also, but then I thought maybe this will come out now and Obama will simply issue a blanket pardon for "anything that happened or was done in their heroic efforts to fight international crime..."

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.
