“.......may finally get the attention it deserves.........”

There have been so many “scandals” connected with odumbo and his ilk, none of us will live long enough to see them all investigated and/or prosecuted. The best way to resolve all this is to put the asses in jail while the investigations proceed.

How these things always under a democratic leader seem to drag out until they are out of office always amazes me.

First, there was the raid on drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's hideout, which turned up a .50 caliber rifle sold through Fast and Furious. This is not some sporting rifle that the administration sold. This one measures more than 4 feet long and can bring down a helicopter.

Next, Obama-appointed District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson tossed out Obama's executive privilege claim.

Federal Judge Obama Appointed Strikes Down His Fast and Furious Executive Privilege Claim

This truly is an amazing turn of events. If Obama were a Republican, conservative or not, this would be in the news 24/7. Will the MSM even mention it? I have my doubts.

Hundreds of Mexicans have died from Obama's Fast and Furious gun trafficking.

Operation Fast & Furious had as its central purpose the subversion of the US Constitution. The program's stategy was to gin up a furor over guns sourced in the US being used in Mexican crime so that the US public could be stampeded into restricting the 2nd Amendment. Since few such guns were being used in Mexico more had to be supplied. They also had to show up at crime scenes so that they could be traced back to the US to 'prove' the Obama administration's assertions.

The GOP should be harping on one message every time F&F is mentioned. F&F was a program designed to result in Mexican deaths - so that 'evil' US-sourced guns could be found at the crime scenes and US gun laws could be blamed for the carnage. Holder, Napolitano, Hillary and Obama and a host of their minions cooked this program up knowing that Mexicans would die - in fact, needing Mexicans to die for this scheme to work. The Obama administration was cynically willing to slaughter Hispanics to accomplish their political purposes. The only "botch" in the scheme was F&F guns turning up to get Americans killed too.

Doesn’t amaze me. Government bureaucracies are stacked to the rafters with partisan Democrat hacks. From the county level all the way up to D.C. You can always count on them to utilize File 13 for the good of the party.

It amazes me when any of this stuff manages to see the light of day at all.

Prediction: El Chappo dies in custody, soon. Either from suicide (!) or trying to escape (!).

I can see a blanket pardon coming in January, 2017. Every single person who ever worked in the Obama will be pardoned in a sweeping abuse of Presidential overreach. Not naming names, just a vague ‘everyone in my Admin is pardoned for any wrongdoing they may have done during their ‘service to America’. Period. How could he name them all? Their name is Legion. If Loretta Lynch couldn’t be bothered to indict Lois Lerner, who will ever be held accountable for ANYTHING?

Good questions. I have no answer of course, however, either is quite plausible.
