Darrell Issa's Fast and Furious rebuke of AG Eric Holder is one for the ages
Coach is Right ^ | 10/30/2011 | Doug Book

Posted on 10/30/2011 11:23:26 AM PDT by Oldpuppymax

Upon being proven to have perjured himself before the House Government Affairs Committee, Attorney General Eric Holder did what any dedicated leftist would; he changed the subject and blamed someone else.

In a childish and petulant letter to his principle adversary, Darrell Issa, Holder accused the Republican congressman of cynical efforts to “score political points” and repeated his claim to have known nothing of Operation Fast and Furious in 2010.

But Issa would have none of the Attorney General’s bogus claims or pathetic excuses. In a masterpiece of typewritten homicide which has received far too little attention from conservative bloggers–and of course NONE from the mainstream media–Issa exposed Holder’s criminal activities and his lies and misrepresentations concerning Department of Justice involvement in Operation Fast and Furious.

With no trace of the professional courtesy or benefit of the doubt so often accorded one longtime inhabitant of D.C. by another, Issa pointedly accused Holder of deliberately “…undermining the [Fast and Furious] investigation” by offering a “roving set of ever-changing explanations to justify its (DOJ) involvement.”

And Issa rightly stated that, in shifting blame for the Operation’s “shortcomings” from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) to the Phoenix US Attorney’s Office, Holder’s “efforts were designed to circle the wagons around DOJ and its political appointees.”

Of Holder’s letter itself, the congressman made it clear the Attorney General had done little but “obfuscate, shift blame, berate and attempt to change the topic from the [DOJ's] responsibility in the creation, implementation and authorization of this reckless program (Fast and Furious.)

Of course that was obviously Holder’s intent. But rarely has a D.C. Republican had the courage to make such an unequivocal charge and call out a radical leftist for his blatant dishonesty and contempt for the American public.

I don’t think this is going to turn out so well for the regime. Murder is a tough thing to dodge.

Obama is NOT going to allow an independent investigator to pursue the matter and without one this thing is going nowhere—at least not until Jan 2013 when a new AG is appointed by a new president.
THEN if we have a president with GUTS—the frog marches can begin!
Which makes me fear there will be no 2012 elections...

Good for you, Mr. Issa. Integrity in Congress.

However, any Issa skeletons-or-could-be-skeletons-in-the-closet should start to appear shortly, I expect.

State controlled un-American media (SCUM) dig into Darrell Issa's past, Headline:

Democrats testify at Senate investigation
Congressman Issa's Crimes
One Senator testified that Congressman Issa has "cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at undocumented workers, razed immigrant neighborhoods in fashion reminiscent of Ghengis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged non-white area of cities. . . ."

Just in case.. :)

but you know it's coming if not similar crap already being "reported" in the MSM. SCUM BTW has been used here by a couple of FReepers and IMO is the most accurate description. But the last time I checked there were just three google hits.

Arming the most murderous criminals in the world is an executive policy best obfuscated by its proponents. There can be no other rationale short of declaring war on the citizenry.

Fast and Furious is just a hint of the sickening corruption of the Justice Department. Any Freeper who was outraged by the obvious suppression of the New Black Panther voter intimidation case in Philadelphia must read:

Injustice by J. Christian Adams

Under Holder this department's mission has been completely perverted. The book's cover promotion says it better than I can:

"If you thought the federal government was dedicated to race-neutral equal protection, 'Injustice' will set you straight. This searing indictment of government malfeasance unveils the astonishing political extremism and outright lawlessness that now infect one of the government's most powerful agencies. With everything from civil rights laws to America's voting system at risk, Adams sounds the alarm on a gathering threat to our nation's future." It's true - it's a very revealing book.

Issa better have a food taster, and not go to Ft. Marcy Park at night. But that having been said, GO ISSA!

They already tried a smear and what they came up with was that his district office overlooks a golf course! onoz! Bad Issa, bad! OTOH, maybe they weren't trying that hard yet.

Drugs and gun running go hand in hand. Where there is one, there is the other.

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. If ATF can illegally support a terrorist organization directly on our borders, they are capable of drug trafficking.

He's endorsed Mitt Romney. And I'm not thrilled with his apparent desire to destroy the USPS without pushing the simple solution of removing Congress's requirement that the post office fund pension obligations generations in the future. And I thought people like Issa wanted the postal service run like a private business.

Issa is a politician, therefore he bears careful watching.

Fast and Furious, besides Obama and Holder murdering hundreds of US and Mexican citizens, was always first and foremost a conspiracy to remove Second Amendment rights.

J. Christian Adams is a TRUE credit to his country. Like John Dodson, he took the very dangerous path of becoming a whistle blower against a criminal Regime. To this day, each of the ATF whistle blowers is being treated disgracefully by the Obama Administration and neither Grassley nor Issa are doing what they should and COULD to prevent it!!!!

As another Freeper pointed out, I think the greatest weapon in this whole mess is not held by or within Issa's power to employ.

There is nothing at all that prevents the DA in the affected counties from filing charges except politics.
File murder charges against all of them, have the Governor sign the warrant and demand extradition to answer the charges. Force Obama to issue pardons it will end his career immediately.

This regime can always lie themselves out of tough situations.

They have the MSM to cover for them and most of the American people get their “information” from the biased and lefty press.
