A feint?
If Holder and the DOJ are really in the right on F&F, why don’t they just release the materials that are under subpoena, and prove it?
(I think we all know the answer to my rhetorical question.)
A classic CYA email...
He wrote that bogus email specifically because he feared stuff like that might get subpoenaed —the email was legal artifice with a purpose.
They’re leaking carefully selected emails.
Whatever is in the rest of the documents must be extremely damning to the Obama regime to go to the lengths they are going to in order to keep it hidden.
“Honest Officer, these are not my drugs! I merely found them, and I was on my way to the police station to turn them in!”
I suspect Issa has a lot of evidence already. He is moving in for the kill.
I’ve worked in an environment where corrupt individuals would write rear-end covering memos just in case their plans went wrong at some later date.
Yeah, and Obama’s LFBC isn’t forged...
So what? Show us the documents and provide full disclosure.
Those are CYA emails, what used to be known as “Memo to file” to record your alleged thoughts and state of mind at the time. Of course people who are habitual liars are just as likely to lie to their typewriter, or email program.
If the emails show what the AP is trying to say they show, why were they not turned over earlier? And why would Holder think that showing Issa’s people emails that supposedly made Holder look good would stop the committee’s contempt vote for not turning over the other 70+ thousand documents?
This line of reasoning looks more like a turd sandwich than a good thing for Holder.
“Both people spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about them publicly”
Both “people” will soon be identified as NYTimes reporters....
Eric Holder, Bill Clinton, Wright’s ‘Black Liberation’ “church”, and the pardons of 16 members of the Puerto Rican Marxist terrorist group FALN:(Wright’s Marxist BLT ‘church’ (Obama’s ‘church’ for 20+ years) advocated for FALN terrorists) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2165024/posts
Oh an AP story...not a Fox News story...noticed first by the sucking sound of author on the teat of Holder’s cover story....half way through the story I look up at top of page and notice—sure enough “AP”. My BS meter is in tune.
If Operation F&F began in November 2009, I don’t understand how he could NOT have known. Date is according to this:
Obama Made Pre-Inaugural Pledge on Stopping Guns to Mexico; Holder, Napolitano Worked Issue From First Month
(snip)
“Rather than stem the flow of arms from the United States to Mexico, as Obama pledged to Calderon he would seek to do, the administration, under Operation Fast and Furious, actually allowed guns to be purchased within the United States by known straw buyers for Mexican drug cartels.
In its resolution recommending that the House hold Holder in contempt, the Oversight Committee describes the essence of Fast and Furious, which began in November 2009—ten months after Obama made his anti-gun-trafficking pledge to Calderon, and nine months after Holder and Napolitano publicly indicated they were personally working on the gun-trafficking issue.”
(snip)
” We need some answers” that will spin the truth and get us off the Congressional hook.
This is what Holder means. Holder and our fascist president do not want the public to discover that Fast and Furious was being used to arm reconquista guerrillas in the American Southwest, so they could wage war against red states like Arizona.
Arizona stopped Holder and Obama COLD, as it should have.
And now what we have left is a radical movement that has no clothes looking for a place to hide.
Obama and Holder should be impeached. They committed acts of war against Mexico,treasonously exercising a war power reserved to Congress and the People exclusively. This caused the genocidal deaths of 300 plus Mexicans and killed 2 BATF agents. Ths is what we know of, and there may be more.
If they were ordinary citizens, Obama and Holder would be classified by DHS as criminals who should be arrested, tried publicly and executed for their crimes and acts of war.
They did? How did they do that? According to these four ATF agents they were ordered to stop tracking the straw buyers when they crossed the border.
The Department of Justice s Operation Fast and Furious: Accounts of ATF Agents
ATF field agents were sharply reprimanded for suggesting that they track the smugglers and guns. There was no tracking.
