Boy, I'll say. I knew this festering boil would have to pop sooner or later but I was thinking a lot sooner rather than as long as it has taken.
Holder & Co. could have come clean on this quite a while ago and it could have blown over for them by now. Instead they stick to the stonewalling and endless B.S. which shows they've got a lot o hide and a lot to lose.

Now they are going to have to suffer the worst of the drama playing out in the thick of Soetoro's reelection drive.
So be it, serves 'em right.

Caution, everyone.  Getting rid of Holder would be a nice afternoon's work, but the real enemy is the crook infesting 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

I don't want to focus on the AG to the point where, upon his departure, the media can consider it "closure" and demand everyone "move on".

You are right it would be a start not a finish.  Let see it was Halderman, Erlichman, Mitchell, and, Dean; and, of course Spiro Agnew.

Problem is, like Rangel prior to the midterms, the Dems and their dutiful sycophants in the MSM will 1--keep it as low key as possible, 2--bury it as quickly as possible.  OTOH, were this Gonzales or Ashcroft, this would already have been in every outlet and the front page of the NYT above the fold for weeks, with the DUmmies calling for "Chimpeachment", frog marching, etc.

It's currently in the Dems best interest for this to go away as quickly and as quietly as possible.  Issa should hold off on this until well into primary season.  Gather evidence, get statements, give Holder enough rope with which to hang himself, and then around convention time, snap.

That was stunning audio from the reporter.  The White House and DOJ yelling and screaming at a reporter.  It is a MUST listen.  I loved the part when the reporter said the other shoe is about to drop.  I so hope it further implicates Valerie Jarrett.  She is worse than pond scum.

She's dangerous.  American Spectator did a huge article on her.  Communists have infested the White House.  I can't believe this happened.  She's a Marxist, through and through, and she's the most influential person to the POTUS. 

I agree with NHSparky.  Issa, take your time, be nice and thorough.  Deliberate, ponder, milk it.

Mr. Holder has lied and is continuing to do so.  He needs to be held accountable for that and for this ridiculous gunrunning operation as well, and he needs to be fired.

I still strongly dislike this Attorney General for calling America a nation of cowards when it comes to race relations.  Hypocrite why does he think he has his current job except for his race.

No, no, no.  He does not need to be fired , nor does he need to resign.





















His ass needs to be thoroughly investigated for the misuse and abuse of the powers of his office.

Off topic, but speaking of being happy, I'm sure everyone saw President Asshat in an interview with Snuffleupuguss, saying about Solyndra, basically, "shit happens."   My jaw dropped and then I blew a gasket.   :argh:

This just keeps getting uglier and uglier, or yummier and yummier depending on how you look at it.

“We’re talking about consequences of criminal activity — where we actually allowed guns to walk into the hands of criminals — where our livelihoods are at risk,” Gosar said in a phone interview. “When you facilitate that and a murder or a felony occurs, you’re called an accessory. That means that there’s criminal activity.”

I saw Daryl Issa on FNC saying that a special counsel is the wrong way to go.  The administration would be able to stonewall the whole thing until well past the 2012 elections.  He said this is something that people need to know before they vote .

What was Issa's solution regarding getting it out to the people? Other than people like us, that is.

Issa is pretty much behind the investigation into "Project GunRunner", which is finally making major news. He can do the same with Holder.  It may take awhile but not as long as an independent counsel investigation.

Time is a factor, but bringing it out about a month before the election would be great.

Either way the real impediment to exposure is the Lame Stream leftist media that will actively ignore it even more than the birth certificate.
This heap of dirty laundry needs to be dragged out into the street and hung from the trees up and down the block for all to see and that's the last thing the LSM is going to allow.

The rumor is....the WS protests are just a 'wag the dog' event, orchestrated to distract from the current WH scandals.  Considering how many times Clinton used this tact, I don't doubt that Obama is now onboard with the same strategy.

MOveon.org is in on it and so is Soros.  Wag the dog is a reasonable guess.  Maybe not the origianl idea, and the small group that first showed up, they may have been legitimate hippies. But once the unions announced they were joining, that meant Obama's backers were in play, and more likely for arrests to occur.

And Holder now struggles to wrap himself in the flag.


Quote
In his response to House Republicans, Holder said that his critics have political motivations and added that he takes issue with the allegation that federal agents were "accessories to murder."

"Such irresponsible and inflammatory rhetoric must be repudiated in the strongest possible terms," Holder wrote. "Those who serve in the ranks of law enforcement are our nation's heroes and deserve our nation's thanks, not the disrespect that is being heaped on them by those who seek political advantage

The agents out in the field that put their lives on the line are not the ones ultimately responsible for this clusterf*ck.  It's the pencil pushing, anti-American, anti-gun liberals sitting behind their desks in cozy offices that came up with this idea.

True.  And, Holder should be probed using a hollow tube and red hot poker.   :fuelfire:
