in the near future.
Has anyone said “WHY”??? - this was allowed to be done?
So the Asst. AG is going to fall on the sword for holder and barry.
Gun walker is definitely heating up. It is now Gunrunner :)
Ping!
in the near future.
Yeah, right. Looks like they're joined at the hip in this photo.
Hey Newbie... here’s a story you may not have heard about.
I have read about this for months now.
well, whoever, wherever in the world to get bombed/whacked better get their affairs in order...bambam and holder are gonna need a distraction, and quick...
... and so the irresponsible on top surround themselves with conspiratorial irresponsible on the bottom, using gun owners as the bogey men... who woulda thought idiots to that to themselves, usefuly, for Manchurian plots.
Sorry but we can't report on this right now. We are too busy running stories on the implications of Our Lord Obama not wanting to scare us with the Pictures of Osama with part of his head blown off...
However we will pick up the story and run an in depth investigation on the "GunWalker" story once we figure out how to blame it on the Republicans.

0bamamedia big, CBS, goes rogue?
I have to ask....Why See-B.S. of all places? Sounds to me like an internal Democrat Party takedown of Barry Obama is underway.

While I don’t think anything will happen (live next to Illinois, and know how the Chicago gang plays), I am surprised this has appeared to grown some legs. Usually there is a suicide of a key witness by now.
This corroborates reports of Breuer involvement in the operation posted in early February by Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars and by Gun Rights Examiner.
“For when he was called upon to deal with the lawful request of ATF Mexico City attache Darren Gil to inform the Mexican authorities of the smuggled rifles of Project Gunwalker, Breuer overruled Gil.” Vanderboegh wrote on Feb. 4, prophetically adding:
Lanny Breuer …I hope to see you, your boss Eric Holder, and your culpable minions under oath at a Congressional hearing in the near future.
“A source who has been providing information that has consistently panned out in the ongoing ‘Project Gunwalker’ investigation is claiming that Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice, Lanny Breuer, was party to the decision to overrule the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive’s representative to Mexico,” this column reported on Feb. 5.
While the CBS report focuses on a different aspect of the Gunwalker case, it confirms not only that Breuer had knowledge of Fast and Furious, but also that he was directly involved in decision-making and leadership on legal matters pertaining to the operation. With all of the other allegations reported early on by Vanderboegh and this correspondent that have since been corroborated by unfolding developments, questioning Breuer under oath will be an important step in uncovering the scope of the role he played.
According to disclosure forms obtained by POLITICO, Lanny Breuer earned $2.4 million in the last two years as a defense lawyer representing clients including mortgage lender Freddie Mac, which was taken over by the government last year ; big pharmaceutical firms under Congressional investigation; Los Alamos National Laboratory in an investigation over alleged sharing of nuclear secrets with China; and a lobbying firm linked to Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-Calif.) that attracted federal scrutiny after Lewis earmarked millions for its clients.
And that’s not to mention his work for alleged steroid-using strikeout pitcher Roger Clemens, and alleged document-lifter and former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger.
It’s no surprise that Breuer, a partner at the power firm Covington & Burling who as a White House lawyer helped President Clinton through many an investigation, would be sought out by clients under the government microscope.
Breuer represented Canadian businessman Eugene Melnyk, who the Securities and Exchange Commission has charged with accounting fraud in connection with his time as the lead executive at drug-maker Biovail Corporation.
Also among his clients is Ipulasi Sunia, the lieutenant governor of American Samoa, who in 2007 was charged with fraud, bribery and obstruction for allegedly conspiring to rig government contracts.

The Wall Street Journal reported back in November:
U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan was not a happy man last August when he reluctantly approved a $298 million settlement that allowed Barclays Bank to avoid prosecution on charges that it violated U.S. economic sanctions.
He was downright angry Tuesday when he discovered the parties had not complied with a court order requiring them to file a report explaining bank’s progress in complying with the agreement.
“It’s inexcusable and it’s unacceptable,” said an incredulous Sullivan, who previously questioned the settlement as a “sweetheart deal.”

Breuer relishes his hardball image. When he was defending Clinton National Security Adviser Sandy “the Burglar” Berger who had been charged with stealing documents from the National Archives pertaining to the Clinton-era policy on Osama bin Laden (removing evidence before the 9/11 Commission could get their hands on it), Breuer attacked the honest but lowly National Archives employees, threatening: “I suggest that person is lying,” he said. “And if that person has the guts, let’s see who it is who made the comment that Sandy Berger stuffed something into his socks.”
Of course, Berger later plead guilty to just that, after the NA employees stuck by their stories. Still, Breuer was able to deflect the maximum punishment from Berger and the Clinton-era secrets remained just that, secret and now, lost to history.

If Sharyl Attkisson doesn’t get the Emmy for this, no one should. She has been all over this story for more than a month. And, you have to give CBS some credit - I haven’t seen this story reported on ANY other broadcast network.
