Rep. Chaffetz Subpoenas ATF Agents Involved in Obama’s Fast and Furious Op
Breitbart ^ | 3-10-2017 | Bob Price

Posted on 03/11/2017 6:38:00 AM PST by tcrlaf

Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz subpoenaed two agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to appear before his committee in connection with the Obama Administration’s gun-running program, Fast and Furious.

Firearms from the former president’s scheme were allegedly involved in the 2011 murder of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Jaime Zapata in Mexico.

Chaffetz, who serves as chairman of the House Oversight Committee issued the subpoenas after the two ATF agents failed to appear voluntarily before the committee. “I’m tired of hearing from just [Justice Department] management, I want to hear from the people that actually are on the front lines doing this,” Chaffetz told Fox News.

I want him questioned, tried and convicted of perjury and then to face charges of accessory to murder.

Judicial Watch says start with prosecuting Holder for perjury, then move on .... the IRS ‘scandal’ is worse than first realized as JW is obtaining documents. Not only did they “repress” the Tea Party groups by slow walking or denial of approval for tax-exempt status, they were illegally requiring donor lists be submitted & going after the donors as well. When confronted on the donor list, the IRS did not return them ... said they were needed for a ‘secret project’ - WTF is that all about? Plus, Lerner was illegally giving info to the DOJ/FBI & trying to find grounds to criminally prosecute people in the Tea Party organizations. She and many others need to be behind bars. As Tom Fitton said, this repression/intimidation of the Tea Party groups was “how to steal an election in plain sight”.

If you do not know already, one reason Lerner was “protected” was that she was head of the IRS unit responsible for monitoring charities like the Clinton Foundation & making sure they stayed within their charters, filed the right paperwork, etc. to remain tax exempt. The Clinton Foundation was in violation on many fronts ... Lerner turned her head and allowed the Clinton Foundation to do whatever it wanted.

Next in line are the CIA agents attached to the embassy and station in Benghazi. Let them spill the beans on what was going on there and how the fiasco was handled by the administration in charge.

I would think some will be granted immunity to get to others higher up on the food chain. And some may have info they were threatened to not reveal under Holder/Obama.

“Looks like the head of ATF needs firing, ASAP.”

Yes, I read this and I say WTF is going on? It pi$$es me off to no end to realize that the reason these holdovers are still running these agencies is directly attributable to that worthless pr!ck Bitch McConnell. Thanks for nothing you a$$hoies in Kentucky, land of the outhouse. Forty-eight months isn’t a lifetime. Each month that passes without Trump having a compete team is a serious loss both in terms of his current term of office and what it does to lessen the prospect of a second term.

Yes, in their expose on Fox News, the three “contractors” said that some guy named “Bruce” was the one giving the stand down orders that night and that he was CIA. “Bruce” needs to be outed and prosecuted unless he names those to whom he reported who gave him his orders. President Trump needs to do some serious work in this part of the swamp, because we have to end this business of allowing criminals in our government to escape justice.

Agreed, but my point, poorly expressed, is that I was thinking of somebody who was recently subpoenaed by the Congress and who didn’t show because they said the Republican Congress can’t be trusted with the information that witness had (IIRC). That kind of resistance CANNOT be tolerated, yet the Republicans did.

Now imagine how much has been hidden from us over the past five decades by the corrupt, “progressive”, media.

My wife and I used to watch the evening national news and morning news for decades until 15 years ago. Both of us have good memories and very good when keywords are cited.

We look at each other when something is brought out that happened in the last 5 decades and go, "Really!?"

The F troop agents who are behind this need jail time, all involved and the DOJ people as well who got a gang of people murdered.
