The Obama administration is literally arming our enemies and using our own law enforcement agencies to do so. Now, as the noose tightens, they are trying to lay blame, color the truth, and avoid responsibility for their dispicable acts.

They did not count on the Tea Party and the 2010 elections electing a GOP controlled House that is working to hold them accountable.

I actually hope one of two things.

Subpoena issued for Holder this afternoon.

Or should I say “Issa’ed” for Holder.

FYI...some more documentation on this travesty.

God bless you Jeff!

Excellent post.

What needs to be stressed to our elected officials is that jail time for the parties involved is not enough. A transgression against the People and the Constitution has taken place and a legislative punishment must occur.

All of the gun laws that enabled this to happen must be repealed. The sporting purpose clause of the 1968 GCA, all technical restrictions on firearms such as the importation restrictions, any and all bans including the Hughes Amendment, any and all Governmental exemptions from firearms restrictions, and any and all registration laws and initiatives including the 1934 NFA must all be eliminated.

If our Government cannot or will not do this, it should be considered Treason on their part. Why? They have actively engaged in conspiracy to violate the Civil Rights of American citizens, conspiracy to subvert the Constitution of the United States, conspiracy to commit acts of war against a neighboring nation without cause, conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to cover up alleged crimes, perjury, violations of numerous Federal laws including sections of firearms law in 921 and 922, violations of ITAR, unlawful export of small arms to known criminal cartels, etc. If they do not move to ensure this cannot occur again, they have topped it off with conspiracy to commit Treason, and this falls even onto the shoulders of our elected officials if they fail to rectify the matter by repealing BAD laws.

That press conference was pathetic. Some should have thrown a shoe at Stedman

Should be on billboards everywhere. That is probably the most succinct summary of this issue I have seen. It needs to be repeated. We (all FReepers) need to write to our reps and include that line in huge, bold, italics.

Thank you.

Excellent article, Jeff. Hope all is well with you.

Just imagine the reaction if the Canadian(or any other) government funneled weapons to criminals inside the US where they were eventually used to murder people. It can only be considered as an act of terrorism at least, or an act of war at the worst. It amazes me that the Mexican “government” aren’t up in arms over this. Their lack of outrage may indicate they were either in on it, or gave the ATF permission to do it.

No matter what happened. The fact that one of our agents ended up dead because of this, HEADS SHOULD ROLL. If this isn’t an impeachable offense, I don’t know what the hell is. This is certainly FAR ...FAR worse than Watergate or lying under oath.

The worst part of this to me is their motivation. This was all done for politics, in their hopes to get some leverage on gun control. Pathetic! If they would go to these lengths over the gun control issue, you can only wonder how low they would go on more significant issues to them.

Excellent analysis, Jeff.

But as you will see - F&F was necessary to keep that Saudi diplomat from being murdered by crazy Iranians.

So it was totally worth it, right?

Nicely done, Jeff.

Allow me to stir the pot.

I see treason writ large. This is one of many instances of treason by the rat party bureaucrats, politicians and judges, It’s also my belief that if we don’t hold these fascist traitors accountable, they will one day try to murder millions of Americans.

We need to do two things:

1) Declare the democrat party a seditious organization and arrest its leaders as traitors, try them and if found guilty apply the necessary punishment.

2) Declare California a state in insurrection. Then remove the federal franchise from CA citizens, and refuse to seat its congressional delegation. Appoint a military governor to clean out that snake’s nest of communists. We have precedence for all of the above in the 19th century Reconstruction acts. That state is a witches cauldron of thieves, fascists and communists ruling over brainwashed, brainless sheep, with the minority of patriots excluded, of course.

Doing these two things will prevent the imminent second civil war.

AG Holder dodges & ignores questions on Fast & Furious

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5I5Z0deBsM&feature=youtu.be

[iacovatx]

I take him at his word, “...it seems clear that some in Congress are more interested in using this regrettable incident to score political points than in addressing the underlying problem. Even in the face of an unprecedented flow of guns across the border, too many in Congress still oppose every effort to reform our gun laws in ways that would make the United States and our Mexican neighbors safer.”

This indicates the desire to “reform” gun laws. I have not yet received any evidence of a method or effort to trace the guns or the criminals. There seems to have been no element in the program beyond getting the guns into criminals’ hands in Mexico. There was nothing planned after that would happen. Has anyone else discovered any plans to recover the guns or stop the criminals? Was this entirely about creating force for more gun laws in the US? It now seems clear that it was.

[Jeff Head]

Sorry for any double pings...but the details of this Fast and Furious monstrocity need to spread all over the country. Please pass it on.

[GOPJ]

Ultimately, the Gun Stores involved and the agents themselves became whistleblowers because of their concerns that our own government was, in effect, arming the Mexican Drug Cartels.

Chicago pols used to work with the (Chicago) Syndicate (mob) years ago ... a tradition of sorts... Maybe Holder WAS intentionally arming Drug Cartels - in exchange for... what?

[basil]

If this isn’t enough to bring down not only Holder, but also obammy—I can’t think of anything else that would have the gravity and far reaching consequences that this does.

There is no way IMO that this didn’t go all the way to the top of the present administration, and because of this action, America, and particularly us along the Mexican border are in grave danger.

The purpose of all of this, of course, is to get us to sign on to the UN gun ban.

I heard earlier today about the alleged Iranian assassination plot on foreign dignitaries here in the States. I thought how convenient a distraction for Holder.

[philman_36]

I have no recollection of knowing about Fast and Furious or of hearing its name prior to the public controversy about it.
This is a cop-out statement.
Where are the original meeting notes? Who attended the meeting?
This is too much like before...
"The notion that somehow or other that this thing reaches into the upper levels of the Justice Department is something that, at this point, I don't think is supported by the facts," Holder told reporters.
Tell these things to Congress under oath instead of in a letter to them or in a statement to reporters!
What you may not be able to recollect does not matter one whit, Eric. As the man said...
Whether you realize yet or not, you own Fast and Furious. It is your responsibility.
Reality is dawning, thus the very couched wording in the letter.

You and your "staff of attorneys" need to have the book thrown at your Socialist posteriors, Eric.
It's your manure pie, eat it!
