Documents Show Justice's Breuer Misled On 'Furious'

Ethics In Government: Attorney General Eric Holder insists "nobody at the Justice Department has lied" about the gun-running scandal Fast and Furious. That in itself is a lie, as his deputy's emails prove.

Documents obtained by congressional investigators show Lanny Breuer, Justice's criminal division chief, misled the public — under oath — about what he knew about the disastrous and ultimately deadly program. And what he did to cover it up.

• Lie No. 1: Breuer knew as far back as April 2010 that ATF officials had let assault weapons "walk" — which meant ending surveillance on guns suspected en route to Mexican warlords, and turning a blind eye to criminals illegally buying weapons for trafficking on the border.

Guns found at the scene of slain Border Patrol agent Brian Terry were traced to Fast and Furious.

That April, Breuer and an aide conspired with ATF leaders to cover up "the bad stuff that would come out."

When Sen. Chuck Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, got wind of the scandal, he demanded answers. Breuer consulted in the drafting of a Feb. 4 letter to Grassley falsely denying that ATF had ever walked guns.

Newly obtained emails show Breuer received drafts of the letter four times via email. He even forwarded drafts to his personal Google email account.

• Lie No. 2: When Grassley recently asked Breuer point blank if he reviewed the letter, Breuer suggested he had not looked at it. "At the time," he testified, "I was in Mexico dealing with the very real issues that we are all so committed to."

Scooter Libby mistakenly gave a wrong date in his testimony before Congress in the ridiculous Valerie Plame kerfuffle and was sent to prison. There are many friends of Barack Obama who should be incarcerated for habitually lying to oversight committees.

Wow! They just keep digging themselves a hole.

It matters not whether one lies to Congress . It matters only if one is a Republican or Democrat.

The battle was lost the moment O-blame-a was elected. He will be reelected and we will have civil disorder when the checks stop or no longer contain any purchasing power.

The die is cast now the bullets must be.

[SirLurkedalot]

I’ll show you “furious”, G**d*****!

[Bshaw]

I am convinced that were a video or taped conversations to surface showing Obama, Holder, Brewer, et al, sitting around plotting the whole Fast & Furious gunwalking scheme, that the senate democrats would still obstruct any impeachment proceedings.

Put them on notice nonetheless!

Let them know justice will be done, if not now, 13 months from now. Throw Kagan’s name in there too, just for good measure!

Incoming night crew ping!
Lanny Breuer, another devil in the details.

Thank you, SS.

Why not? The whole administration is a house of deceit built upon a foundation of mendacity.

Did you see the Ogden clip on YouTube?

The Ogden clip from 2009 should be dealt with.

I hope you are not counting on seeing any of them charged, much less convicted. And, of course, the whole stinking mess is getting nary a peep out of the so-called news media. So sick of it all.

Speaking to Grassley’s committee, Mueller promised the FBI “will bring to justice those persons who are in any way involved in the killing of Officer Brian Terry,”

So when will the FBI arrest Holder and Obama?

AMEN!!!!

There are many friends of Barack Obama who should be incarcerated for habitually lying to oversight committees.

WHY?

WHY THE GAMES?

Who are they protecting?

In Watergate, the pawns lied until they got the goods on Nixon, then it was all over.

Why are they lying?

The operation came out of the White House. Obama and others are going after the 2nd Amendment and the gun manufacturers. I watched Holder even the other night was still trying to say the problem in Mexico WAS AMERICAN GUNS!

So WHY?

I was told in my Congress critters office that to Impeach Obama would bring riots across America. They are NOT going to go after Obama, even a serial rapist like Clinton could not be convicted. To try to get Obama would be suicide. They are going to let the election get rid of him.

DO you have a FUNCTIONAL IQ above room temperature or are you like most Americans who let the MSM and the US Gov't do their thinking for you? This is Obama's Watergate, he's obviously guilty but they are not going to tell you no matter how obvious it gets.
