Rep. Farenthold to Newsmax: Fast and Furious Documents ‘Incriminating,’ ‘Explosive’
newsmax.com ^ | 15 August, 2012 | Todd Beamon and John Bachman

The documents on Operation Fast and Furious that House Republicans sued U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to obtain must contain “something either incriminating or very politically explosive,” Texas Rep. Blake Farenthold tells Newsmax.TV in an exclusive interview.

“There is something either incriminating or very politically explosive in there or they wouldn’t be fighting so hard to hold them back – and they wouldn’t have called on President Obama to exert executive privilege at the last second,” the GOP congressman tells Newsmax. “And, of course, we all know executive privilege only applies to deliberations of the president and his closest advisers.

Now all we need is some editors and writers at the Washington Post who want to “get” Obama like they wanted to “get” Nixon, and we’d have something here. Oh ho ho — silly me.

Yep, I’m sure F&F was about flooding Mexico with American guns for the political ammunition. But what if there really is something more? The left is far more evil than just pushing gun control. Obama has all the mechanisms in place to declare marshall law, confiscate all the guns and declare himself king right now if he wanted to. Why go through all these convolutions?

Remember Mena Arkansas? The Clinton body count? The left has accused gubmint of flooding the streets with drugs to “keep us down”. (There is historical precedent for governments doing that). What if there is collusion with drug lords for reasons we don’t know (and maybe don’t want to know).

Just some stream of conscience wondering...

After Romney wins the November election we will see industrial grade shredders circling the White House and Justice Department.
From November until Inauguration Day they will be running 24/7 ‘til the motors are smoking red hot.

Holder wouldn’t release those documents because they are still being shredded as we speak. He simply cannot get rid of them fast enough.

They are probably ready to use some electro magnetic device on the DOJ offices just to ensure any electronic storage medium has been rendered useless.

The Committee already knows what's in the emails and documents they're trying to obtain. They know it through months and months of involvement with key whistleblowers. They just need the originals for nailing things down.

If all the pertinent originals they already know exist suddenly become missing through illegal shredding and burning, the Holder & Co. thugs will be facing hard time in the Greybar Hotel.

At some point, the hard-core Holder hold-outs in Justice will turn or be flipped by the investigators. It's inevitable.

This action against Eric the Red reinforces the warning to the underling thugs that the Committee MEANS BUSINESS.

Holder actually holds very few cards and he personally has little leverage other than the protection of the president. If Obama throws him under the bus, the whole criminally-politicized Justice Department house of cards will collapse quickly along with Holder and his perverted sense of what "justice" means.

Increased pressure is now on both Obama and Holder as the Committee tediously but resolutely tightens the noose.

Truth will out.

The longer they obstruct the worse (for them) it will be eventually. I just hope Issa and the rest keep and gain in courage and determination.

“something either incriminating or very politically explosive,”

Like barry's college records.
