Fast & Furious Congressional Investigation

Oct 13, 2011

C-SPAN | Washington Journal

Sharyl Attkisson talked about the investigation of the Justice Department's Fast and Furious gun operation program, and she responded to telephone calls and electronic communications.. The intended purpose of the program was to investigate weapons traffickers but unintentionally ended up supplying them with weapons. Investigators lost thousands of firearms, many of which crossed the border into Mexico.

 

Note: This is a video clip, Partial transcript appended.

A 28 minute discussion of Sharyl Attkisson's reporting through CBS. Interesting details and a quick overview of the debacle. "Tracy Schmaller (?) from DoJ was yelling at me, and Eric Schultz from the White House was screaming at me." "I had no idea that people would think it so interesting that this made it..." (all across the conservative blogosphere.)

Great lady doing a great job!

Unintentionally, my hillbilly hiney!

Another big lie. There was nothing unintentional about it, they purposely let the weapons fall into the hands of the cartels, IMO in order to push their anti-gun agenda and have proof(false proof)that Hillery's 90% lie was true. Others on FR claim other reasons and that may be true but I think the main reason was to ban assault rifles again. Can't pull off a full take over of America if the people are armed.

She is just following the CBS talking points instituted after the story about White House pressure to cooperate with both them and the rest of the media to cover up and spin this story.

I really wish the media would follow this story as closely as they followed Sarah Palin’s bus.

[Travis McGee]

She even inspired a great cartoon.

Worth watching.

From the start, it's quite apparent that the C-SPAN reporterette is solidly on the side of Holder and his underlings.

Too dumb to flee a sinking ship?

I remember when C-SPAN got started in the 80's, and Brian Lamb began the viewer call-ins. He seemed more conservative then, although as he needed access he followed the MSM glitterati in trading access for honesty. We need to keep the pressure on our Reps to support Issa and get everything out that they can 'leak' on this, because the only way the rest of the Maggot Slime Media will cover it is with overwhelming exposure by the People.

May you live in interesting times
 - and come to the attention of important people.

Sharyl Attkisson seems top have grabbed that with both hands. Good luck to her.

[Califreak]

There’s a reason why we call it C-SPIN...

That's no way to talk about a lady! /s (a very hot lady)

She is very professional. She will never get that interview with Holder though.

BTW, the C-SPAN lady never answered the question about Issa being investigated for some banking thing. My guess is the answer is 'no.'
