The Department of Justice cover up of Operation Fast and Furious, begun literally hours after the December, 2010 shooting death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, is coming apart at the seams.
In yet another Friday evening document dump, the Obama Administration provided Congress and an increasingly interested American public “…documents detailing how the [DOJ] gave inaccurate information to a US senator in the controversy surrounding Operation Fast and Furious.”
In short, after spending months in all out deny and obfuscate mode, stonewalling congressional investigators and depending upon nearly universal media silence to make the issue go away, the AG Eric Holder-led Department of Justice has begun to offer up damning, self-incriminating information to its principle antagonists—Senator Charles Grassley and Representative Darrell Issa.
And that means just one thing—Holder and the DOJ no longer have a choice!
On February 3rd, ATF Agent Gary Styers addressed a memo to top officials of the Bureau. In it he corroborated the testimony fellow Agent John Dodson had provided Senator Grassley one week earlier, asserting Dodson was quite correct in claims that the Bureau “divided and isolated agents” while facilitating the deliberate “walking” of guns across the Mexican border.
One day later, Assistant Attorney General Ron Weich addressed his own letter to Congress, stating unequivocally that “the allegation …that ATF ‘sanctioned’ or otherwise knowingly allowed the sale of assault weapons…is ‘false.”
Former US Attorney for Phoenix Dennis Burke and former Phoenix branch ATF Agent in Charge Bill Newell spent months adhering to the phony claims made by Weich.
But overwhelming evidence of criminal ATF behavior coupled with the growing realization that the Regime would have no compunction about serving them up as scapegoats to relentless committee investigators finally forced the pair to fess up.
And now the DOJ is backtracking...

You obviously do not understand.
The DOJ can lie as much as they want.
It’s not a scandal until the MSM declares it so.
Nothing to see here.
Move along.
Move along.
This is reminding me of the Watergate days. A massive cover up in the beginning begins to unravel as first, the small fish at the bottom start giving up those higher up on the food chain. Then that guy gives up the guy above him and so on up the line, until it gets to the top guy.
Obama believes he is impervious to attack for illegal and unconstitutional actions. Stocking up on popcorn.
Yep. Drip, drip, drip. Issa has a plan and he is executing it.
And the GOP is going to do what exactly?
Sorry, these caught are commie democrats. Pravda won't excoriate them nor will the RINOs. I guess y'all didn't get the message - we are a Banana Republic.
Haven’t heard them doing much of anything, but they should be blasting this on every talk show on every interview, they should be standing at Issa’a and Grassley’s door and backing them up.
Agreed, but even Issa isn’t backing up Issa.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the GOP is a bunch of phony showboats.
They hold votes that they know will have no effect on anything, they hold hearings that will go nowhere or effect anything, and advance big government every chance they get.
Bill Clinton and the Senate wusses movie remake.
Oh darn!
The GOP and the DEMs are carbon copies of each other.
I remember seeing a ‘Fact Check’ episode on ABC Nightly News concerning Fast and Furious.
Maybe I’ve confused that with the ‘Are the Kardashian’s butts full of Fix-a-Flat’question.

You are of course exactly right. The MSM is the Country’s conscience. Sad
That’s not the only Democrat thing coming apart at the seams, I can tell you, boy-howdy. Those pants that Michelle wore to that school—hoo-wee.
I agree, and they are both filled to the brim with liars and opportunists.
1) Shows Obama will not tolerate misbehavior in government, immunizing him from any future questions about any corruption.
2) It will prove he is not racialy biased and allows blacks to have a double standard.
If that's your conclusion, vote for the other guy.
You are pissed because there is no magic wand that gets rid of the demonRATs overnight.
Disagree - Holder has so mnuch on obama its not funny at this point.
