Scandal: For incompetence alone, Attorney General Eric Holder should resign in the wake of the illegal "Fast and Furious" gunrunning scandal. But fresh news that he knew of it and is covering it up warrants impeachment.
In the latest Friday night document dump — news released as to minimize its scandalous impact on the White House — congressional investigators learned that Attorney General Holder knew all along that a gun his Justice Department intentionally let fall into the hands of Mexico's cartels was used to murder U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry on Dec. 15, 2010.
Holder must have known right away because his Deputy Chief of Staff Monty Wilkinson received an email from then-Arizona U.S. Attorney General Dennis Burke telling him just that: "The guns found in the desert near the murder(ed) BP officer connect back to the investigation we were going to talk about — they were AK-47s purchased at a Phoenix gun store."
According to the Daily Caller, the emails also showed that Wilkinson then "alerted" Holder about the killing of the U.S. agent.
Since then, Wilkinson has taken the Fifth in congressional testimony and told investigators, "I don't recall," while the Justice Department on Monday declined to give any answer to the press about what Holder knew and when he knew it.
This is classic coverup behavior — late-night document dumps, officials taking the Fifth, "I don't recall" excuses — the likes of which we haven't seen since the Nixon and Clinton years.
Along with the false testimony that Holder gave last year to congressional investigators including Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, this never-ending case can only get worse as the damning evidence piles up.

IBD weighs in ping.
Democrats are born to lie....
If adopted, they learn to lie....
Hey, Roger Clemens was indicted on felony charges for lying to Congress, is Holder above the law?
Indictment. And he should be tried in Arizona.
Why not? If Republicans are tried in DC, why shouldn’t Democrats be tried in Red States?
bump
Well this should be fun to watch if Issa stays the course!
Of course he is now go and turn yourself in for extermanation you racist bigot
I think he and Obama both are above the law. No prominent Black ever has to suffer consequences of their action, at least from the law and media.
He should be impeached but its not going to happen, the Titanic Party doesn’t have it in them.
Wrong,Wrong,Wrong, Every last person involved needs to be Indicted by MEXICO then ETRADITED to Mexico for their Punishment. If Mexico were to Formally issue Indictments against these Public Servants, the US is Bound by TREATY to Hand them Over.
Maybe Holder was told right away and then forgot. He is told that a border agent was killed and asks if it was a “brother.” When he is told the dead man was a white man, he thinks to himself “who cares about a cracker?” and forgets all about the case.
Scooter Libby went to jail for not telling the complete truth about a contrived allegation that in itself was not true.
LMAO!!!
The Gov’t control ed “media” says nothing about this story.
I bet if you if asked, 9 out of 10 people don't even know what F&F is about or has ever heard of it.
Holder is safe and so is Zero. Holder will continue to ignore calls for his impeachment as well as any more calls for him to appear before Congress, just like Zero ignores the call to appear in Georgia about his eligibility case.
Pre-meditated, agenda-driven murder. It did not matter who died or how many people died.
Her words...
“My concern, Mr. Chairman, is that there’s been a lot said about Fast and Furious, and perhaps mistakes were made,” Feinstein said. “But I think this hunt for blame doesn’t really speak about the problem. And the problem is, anybody can walk in and buy anything.”
Much, more...(here)...

FUF
If you asked 9 out of 10 people who holder was thy would not even have a clue
You liked that?
Does anyone believe Holder's "boss" wasn't fully apprised of the whole matter?
Local 2544 (Border Patrol Agents)
Read 01/29/12 entry: Brian Terry is Dead. Eric Holder's name is mentioned.
Read 01/23/12 entry wherein a border patrol chief recalls apprehending an illegal alien 10 times in one eight hour shift.
An arguement of “ non compus mentus” by the Director of the “Just-us Department” isn’t suffiecient to keep him in office .
This is NOT a case of “forgetfulness” ; it is all about obstruction , obfiscation , lying , deceit ,’stalling’ and a set-up by BATF to steal our second amendment Constitutional rights.
These rights are not given by the govenment ; according to the Constitution they are “God given rights “
