Eric Holder's Top Deputy Resigns Amid Revelation Fast and Furious Guns Used in Phoenix Crime
Breitbart News ^ | 17 Oct 2014 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 10/17/2014 9:46:36 AM PDT by george76

The top deputy to Attorney General Eric Holder announced his resignation on Thursday amid revelations that Operation Fast and Furious scandal guns were used to harm Americans in Phoenix in 2013, a development top congressional Republicans say President Obama’s administration sought to cover up.

...

Holder, the attorney general, has failed to cooperate with the Fast and Furious congressional investigation led by Issa and Grassley. Holder was voted, on a bipartisan basis, into both criminal and civil contempt of Congress—a first in the history of the United States for a Cabinet-level official—after he failed to provide documents to Issa’s committee pursuant to a congressional subpoena. President Obama himself has asserted executive privilege over many of the Fast and Furious documents, an executive privilege claim that Grassley and Issa say is invalid and unlawful that is currently being litigated in court pursuant to the civil contempt citation. Ron Machen, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, declined to prosecute Holder.

Grassley and Issa say Obama’s executive privilege claim is invalid because he is asserting the lower of two forms of privilege, deliberative process privilege rather than the higher form of presidential communications privilege.

...

In addition to Cole’s resignation, Holder recently announced he plans to resign soon, as well—something that came right after a federal judge ordered the DOJ to provide, by Oct. 22, a “Vaughan Index,” or a list of documents President Obama is hiding under executive privilege, descriptions of them, and the reasons the administration thinks they are privilege-worthy, pursuant to another Judicial Watch lawsuit.

Historians will look back on the era of lawlessness on the part of this nightmare of a gubamental regime and all the unnecessary deaths and just shake their heads.

Holder’s resignation right at the height of the Ferguson controversy looks surprising — but there’s a trainload of stuff coming to run him down. I’d not be surprised if he doesn’t meet the same end as Ron Brown, or fakes his death in order to disappear.

I know that it’s only a fantasy, but after a fair and constitutionally sound trial, I look forward to the commencement of public hangings.

Is this getting any attention @ all? Forget the MSM, of course. But is talk radio and FNS giving it any air time? Or is it still all-Ebola?

The ‘act’ of supplying the guns to illegal people may have been planned, but the consequence of that action were not. Getting a murder conviction would be difficult, however negligent homicide would be relatively easy to convict........................

Rats flee a sinking ship. Let’s hope this is a similar sign.
