Issa says Holder should apologize to Mexico: ‘Justice has blood on their hands’

House oversight committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa told The Daily Caller that Attorney General Eric Holder owes an apology to the Mexican government and to the families of Operation Fast and Furious victims south of the border. “Justice has blood on their hands,” Issa said Wednesday during an exclusive interview with The DC, referring to the U.S. Department of Justice.

"Cunningham’s assertion of Fifth Amendment privilege “suggests that the Department has jeopardized public safety and the public trust by allowing individuals with potential criminal culpability to remain in positions of authority,” Issa says in the letter.

I think Issa is a little off-track here - although it does make one wonder why someone would plead the fifth, I think Issa is coming perilously close to making an assumption of guilt based on the pleading - which is directly contrary to why the right was created. Taking the fifth cannot be taken as an admission of guilt.

I WOULD raise the point that Mr. Cunningham's activities (I'll testify; No, I won't; Well, I'll testify but take the 5th) reinforce the impression that the Justice Dept. is being less than forthcoming and is trying to hide something, in direct opposition to the President's pledge of "transparency". (But, we did know that already, didn't we?)

Heard on Fox: Obama/Holder are ordering all DOJ people to take the 5th. Issa was on TV looking unhappy and noting that Obama may get away with Fast and Furious, with the Rancid Media running interference for them.

Extradite Holder and his co-conspirators to Mexico and let them sort it out.
