What a joke these criminals have made of our justice system and our country.

They need to be removed from our country and all records of them be eliminated as well. (Sounds like something Obama has already started helping with).

Better yet, appoint Sheriff Joe and his cold case posse as special investigators and then appoint J. Christian Adams as special prosecutor.

We need a law to make perjury before Congress illegal?

With this crew, absolutely.

Make H0lder personally go into Mexico to retrieve the lost guns.


Another play on Eric the Red’s last name could be Hidler.

What I don’t understand is why some people destroy themselves by letting their emotions take control.

Would you prefer we didn’t step over that line in the sand that, until now has been resisted?

This was a suggestion made by Congressman Trey Gowdy and taken up by Congress.

Gowdy is Issa’s strongest supporter and also one of the clearest heads regarding constitutional law.

Do you understand this is not a step backwards?

Unbridled anger is not productive unless channeled into action. What have you, who say this is laughable, actively done so far to make sure the present administration goes down?

Are you supporting the right people with your money? (one suggestion) or talked to friends who are unaware? or sent letters of encouragement to the legislators who have not given up?

This is a warning shot across the bow ... not intended to do any damage, it is meant simply to get Holder’s attention. In another article I saw a reference to a Memorial Day deadline - that is when the stuff starts to hit the fan ...

Impeach him and jail him on the existing laws. Another new law to ignore? What? The laws against perjury, obstruction of justice, murder and gun-running aren’t good enough to ignore all by themselves?

Isn’t there a law for that already?

Yes, ask Roger Clemens about his six felony counts of lying to Congress.

18 U.S.C. § 1001 : US Code - Section 1001: Statements or entries generally

Well...Clemens lied about...BASEBALL and STEROIDS!!!

It seems...according to the left...this much more severe than guns going to drug cartels.

It's too bad there isn't a better way to get the DOJ to investigate itself. We really need a separation of law enforcement.

Passing a law that makes it illegal to do what is already illegal is a joke. It's kabuki for the retards in Congress so that they can pat themselves for having "done something" when in fact they've done nothing at all.

Issa needs to start drafting the impeachment now.

Go to any restaurant in El Paso and ask around. Bullets from Juaraz have hit people walking in downtown EP and grade school yards. Another mass grave was discovered just a few days ago along the border.

Meet with NM ranchers who live close to the border. Most have left fearing for their lives.

What’s amazing to me is that there has been ZILCH about this in the media on the West Coast. Yet the Sir Skittles case that is 3,000 miles away??

Relentless headline news, 24/7 on TV and in the papers.

And now, a prank Romney pulled as a stupid teenager is screaming headline news, 24/7 —all over the TV, radio, papers here. THAT is more important than Fast & Furious, which I agree, is the largest scandal in the past 10 years at least.

If it were Bush can you imagine the outcry from the left??

I find it amazing how a simple statement of FACT evokes a personal attack.

What I don’t understand is why some people destroy themselves by letting their emotions take control.

I have not been destroyed...I'm still here.

Would you prefer we didn’t step over that line in the sand that, until now has been resisted?

Makes no sense

This was a suggestion made by Congressman Trey Gowdy and taken up by Congress.

...that must first pass the Senate (lol) and then be signed by Zer0 (LOL!!) Even IF these two criteria are met, it will accomplish NOTHING!

Gowdy is Issa’s strongest supporter and also one of the clearest heads regarding constitutional law.

Liked him in the hearings. But again, NOTHING accomplished.

Do you understand this is not a step backwards?

More like a lateral arabesque.

Are you supporting the right people with your money? (one suggestion) or talked to friends who are unaware?

The people I speak with are well aware that this was an outright assault on the Second Amendment. As to money, I' m almost 70 and have NEVER nor will I EVER give money to ANY politician! I have, on some occasions, donated my time. I DO however, support FR.....do you?

We are done...have a nice day.
