More Fast and Furious Scandal for Obama/Holder/ATF

BOEHNER: 'Justice Department out of excuses'...


HOUSE SETS CONTEMPT VOTE ON HOLDER

Holder’s Lies Exposed By DOJ Document Leak
Wiretap applications obtained by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform prove Attorney General Eric Holder and Assistant AG Lanny Breuer lied to Committee members when they claimed DOJ personnel knew nothing of the tactics used by the ATF during Operation Fast And Furious.



Wiretap applications obtained by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform prove Attorney General Eric Holder and Assistant AG Lanny Breuer lied to Committee members when they claimed DOJ personnel knew nothing of the tactics used by the ATF during Operation Fast And Furious.
Wiretap applications are forms that must be filled out and submitted to a judge, asking permission to perform a wiretap. As these requests may only be made if all other information-gathering techniques have been tried and found wanting, the applications are completed in extraordinary detail, listing all prior methods employed by law enforcement to gather existing evidence. In short, the entire history of the efforts put forth by law enforcement during a particular case or investigation are presented in writing to the court.
According to Committee chair Darrell Issa, six wiretap applications are now in Committee possession, all presented to the court between March and June of 2010 and all having been approved by Department of Justice officials. In fact, “each application included a memorandum from Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer to Paul M. O’Brien, Office of Enforcement Operations, authorizing the wiretap applications on behalf of the Attorney General.” “The memoranda from Breuer are marked specifically for the attention of Emory Hurley, the lead prosecutor for Operation Fast and Furious.”
Why is this so significant? As Congressman Issa wrote to Eric Holder on June 5^th, “Throughout the course of the congressional investigation … the Department (DOJ) has consistently denied that any senior officials were provided information about the tactics used in Operation Fast and Furious. The wiretap applications obtained by the Committee show such statements made by senior Department officials regarding the wiretaps to be false and misleading.”

Compromise my arse! I want this guy in jail.

  Day after heated exchanges between Attorney General Eric Holder and Senate Republicans — including a call for his resignation — Senators Chuck Grassley, above, and Darrell Issa open door to negotiate release of 'Fast & Furious' documents to avoid contempt vote — but with a big 'if.'

These folks are guilty and evil to the core!! These guys need to be impeached!!! Straight off Drudge.

“The assertion of executive privilege raises monumental questions,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee who first began the Fast and Furious investigation.“How can the president assert executive privilege if there was no White House involvement? How can the president exert executive privilege over documents he’s supposedly never seen? Is something very big being hidden to go to this extreme? The contempt citation is an important procedural mechanism in our system of checks and balances,” he said.

PRIVILEGE

“Until now, everyone believed that the decisions regarding Fast and Furious were confined to the Department of Justice. The White House decision to invoke executive privilege implies that White House officials were either involved in the Fast and Furious operation or the cover-up that followed," said Michael Steel, the spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio."The administration has always insisted that wasn’t the case. Were they lying, or are they now bending the law to hide the truth?”

The latest. I think his and Holder's plan was to create or allow a terrible event (through this stupid arse "program") here in the states or in a border town/Texas/ARZ/CALF that would allow Obama and Holder to have stricter gun controll or even start gathering up our firearms nationwide.And MSNBC and CNN are still part of the cover up of this ADM scandals as their reporting has been terrible on this one. In fact, they don't even have this story as their lead ones today online.

• Reuters
  President Obama's decision to assert executive privilege over 'Fast and Furious' documents not only failed to delay contempt proceedings against Attorney General Eric Holder — it raised a whole new line of constitutional questions and challenges about the power of the presidency.

Love this opinion piece.

Obama: Accessory to murder?

Exclusive: Joseph Farah shows how executive-privilege move actually implicates BHO

Published: 15 hours ago

"Obama stepped in and claimed executive privilege.

Now understand what this means. Obama cannot claim executive privilege for any member of his administration. He can only do so for himself and his inner circle of advisers, and should never do so unless it’s a matter of national security.

What Obama did, in apparent desperation, was to expose his own personal complicity in this scandal, making him, quite possibly, an accessory to murder.
Can you imagine how big this scandal is and how far it reaches for the administration to take such a gamble?

Even the once-friendly media are seeing through this charade.

Obama sniffed in 2007 how unreasonable it was for George W. Bush to claim executive privilege regarding the dismissal of a handful of Justice Department lawyers. Bill Clinton fired ALL of his federal prosecutors the day he took office. Not a single Democrat blinked.

But now we’re talking about a scandal in which people, Americans, law enforcement officers and, no doubt, Mexican and U.S. citizens, were murdered by weapons purposely placed into the hands of the drug cartels in Mexico and the U.S."

And think, there are people that want this assclown in the White House another 4 years.

Bad news for the Obama administration. CBS News has finally showed up to the party. This article provides a good summary of the scandal. Also, it looks like Tyler's suspicions were correct. The Obama Administration wanted to use Fast and Furious as a justification for gun control. The sh!t is hitting the fan.

Thanks!

For those that don't want to read FOX, here's one you should read. Oh....and MSNBC and CNN have dropped this story (the biggest hitting the Presidency since Watergate IMHO) from the front page of their lead online news coverage.
