The SAD thing is...”THEY” are going to keep him in office. He is doing too good a job of destroying this country.

I am so happy you have the no profanity policy. I enjoy reading articles and then looking at the comments of others, but I get so very offended by the language of most sites that it takes away all the enjoyment. THANK YOU

It’s not the next Watergate because we are talking about the Treason party I mean the Democrats here. Absolutely nothing will happen because as we all know it’s against the law to prosecute or even pretend to investigate Democrats.

You've got it correctly. Show me where this corrupt government ever convicts any anti-american leftists to the most extent. Slap on the hands at most. Does Sandy Burgler ring a bell?

Nothing is going to happen.
This thing is 2 years old and nothing has been done.
It ain’t gonna happen. Obama will skate.

It is not two years old. The first story ran in Nov or Dec of 2010 so it is about 1 1/2 years old. The first indictment in Watergate came about 13 months after the story broke and that was with a non-stop full court press by the media. After a year and a half this story has not gone away. It can’t go away there are still hundreds of F&F guns out there and there are still bodies dropping from them.

Watergate wasn't state-sponsored terrorism.

December 8, 2011
Dear Representative Gardner:
Dear Senator Udall:
Dear Senator Bennet:

Let's call Fast and Furious, Castaway, "Grenade Walker" and "Cash Walker" what they are. State-sponsored terrorism.

On this side of the border they are violations of the RICO Act. In Mexico and Honduras it is state-sponsored terrorism.

What else would you call heavily arming international criminal syndicates within foreign countries wherein those countries are in a death struggle with those syndicates?

Especially when it goes beyond thousands of assault rifles to include grenades, RPGs, shoulder fired rockets, anti-aircraft guns, night vision equipment, body armor and special deals to bring their drugs onto our soil with legal impunity?

Not to mention the just-revealed news that the rip crew that killed BP Agent Brian Terry was there with DEA and FBI assistance and approval to attack and kill a rival cartel's smuggling crew.

Let's not leave out the FBI and DEA laundering millions of dollars for the drug cartels by setting up bank accounts for them that they otherwise couldn't do.

It is organized, it is spread throughout every Federal LEA and it violates numerous domestic laws and numerous statutes and treaties that deal with foreign nations. Yet none of it has been officially sanctioned by Congress. (that I know of) It is the Federal government acting like mafioso.

Pres. Obama, AG Eric Holder and Sec. State Hillary Clinton are all deeply involved in this and it is unquestionably state-sponsored terrorism by the definition used to define states like Iran and North Korea.

PS: if you think I am wrong or exaggerating any of this I will be glad to bring you up to speed with very well sourced articles, legal depositions (publically available) and other public information that verifies every word I have said.

Either you are with these criminals or you are with U.S. I implore you to get informed, get involved and act or get run over by this. This lawless scandal is not going away.

Sincerely,

Mr. (TigersEye)
Address
Town, State, Zip

----------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a petition to call for Eric Holder's prosecution.
Tea Party Petition to Prosecute Eric Holder

After signing the petition you will get an automatic way to send an e-mail to your Congressman and Senators. You can use their text or fill in your own.

I strongly encourage all FReepers to sign that petition and to send their own thoughts about this to their Congress critters. Let them know that you are aware of this issue and that you are not going to forget about it. Let them know you will be watching to see what they do about it.

The only person who can prosecute Eric Holder is Eric Holder. Congress could impeach him, but we all know how well that worked last time. And that was when Republicans controlled the Senate.

Who prosecuted everyone involved in Watergate? Was it the AG?

IIRC, at the time of Watergate there was a law allowing the an independent prosecuter completely outside the control of the AG to be appointed. After the special prosecutor (Cox) under Attorney General Elliot L. Richardson was sacked, and later Leon Jaworski was appointed under that act. It expired back in the 90’s and was not renewed. Now the only person who can appoint a prosector is Holder, and he no longer is truley independent; he serves at the pleasure of the AG who can remove him at will.

Good luck at getting Holder to appoint one.

We’re not helpless. We just need to get rid of the Obamunists the old fashioned way, vote them out.

"Fast and Furious" is a B-grade Hollywood thriller in the American mind.

Call it what it is:

MURDERGATE.

It should be the next Watergate. Fast & Furious is Watergate X 100 + lots of dead people. Plus the corruption and participation of most of our federal police agencies. In this case, the crimes committed by our government is MUCH MUCH worse than the cover-up, which is monumental compared to Watergate.
