Hillary Clinton: No Evidence DOJ Sought Required License to Send Guns to Mexico Fast and Furious
CNSnews ^ | October 28, 2011 | Fred Lucas

Posted on 10/28/2011 8:55:28 AM PDT by opentalk

Hillary Clinton told a House committee Thursday she did not know about the Obama administration's botched Fast and Furious gun-walking operation until she read about it in the press, even though federal law requires anyone exporting weapons from the United States to get a waiver from the State Department.

"Based on our information from the part of the State Department that would deal with this kind of issue, we have no record of any request for coordination," Clinton told the House Foreign Affairs Committee. "We have no record of any kind of notice or heads-up, and my recollection is that I learned about it from the press. That's my recollection."

...Clinton's testimony backs up an assertion by Rep. Connie Mack (R-Fla.) that the Justice Department's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives -by allowing guns to flow to Mexico -apparently violated a specific law requiring State Department permission to export arms.

“”We have no record of any kind of notice or heads-up, and my recollection is that I learned about it from the press. That’s my recollection.”

Recollection is the operative word here..... I have no recollection... meaning, you will have to find evidence before I will tell the truth....

I'm wondering if someone at BATFE did a work around and got some approval from State Department and there is no official "paper work". I think this thing is going to suck a lot of folks under.

I'm wondering if this thing is just the tip of the iceberg??

“No Evidence DOJ Sought Required License to Send Guns to Mexico Fast and Furious”

THAT is a BILL CLINTON answer. No evidence, means... none found.... NOT, none exists.

Was Her Thighness under oath when she made this assertion?

“No Evidence” = check her closets

Hillary has a bad habit of misplacing things like billing records and ‘can’t recall’ where she put them. /s

No, it's actually a hard shot sent to the DOJ for them to come up with some paperwork.

Nicely played.

Please do not forget to ask the OBVIOUS question.... What was their outcome for allowing 2000 guns into mexico? Tracking? they could track these guys all day. If it is not tracking, what would the purpose be? Get the senators to ask that.

Hillary Clinton remembers E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. It’s only when she testifies under oath that her superb memory suddenly falters.

Yep. This is Hillary giving the middle finger to both Holder and Obama. Well played indeed.

The Black Widow is unwilling to take the heat to protect her buddy Holder.

Maybe she is thinking of running agains Obama next year, or picking up the pieces if he self-dstructs.

But then again, she is a Clinton and the only time she is lying is when her lips are moving.
