It appears that executive privilege is not endearing the "won" to all latinos.

They do not even mention that Zapata was investigating Fast and Furious weapons shipments.

I don't think this is a “headache” for O at all. I suspect Holder was going to cooperate but the WH said no...

It is a political decision designed to fire up O’s base, just like the immigration policy change and the gay thing.

I fear and believe this will enter a new legal phase now that will kill any chance the truth will come out for many years. I also believe that Obama will lose in November, regardless of F&F, but I also believe the MSM will downplay this story and the dem spin machine will hang it around the GOP’s neck as a witchhunt.

First, national security leaks, then the gunwaking AG in contempt of Congress — now if the SCOTUS kicks Obamacare to the curb tomorrow this will be an epic week of failure for Barack Hussein Obama, mmm, mmm, mmmmmm.

What did Holder and Obama know and when did they know it.

The Republicans need to point out how many Mexicans lost their lives because of F&F! They cite Brian Terry, and certainly his death is tragic, but so is the loss of life of so many others. Focusing on that will grab a lot more attention--and cause a lot more hurt--to the Obama administration focusing only on Terry's death.

And well it should, because this is not just about the coverup of a Watergate type screw-up, it is about the coverup of a series of homicides caused by the negligence of the DOJ, and most likely the Obama administration!

If Mexico had a working government, they would be demanding Holder’s extradition and Obama’s trial in a UN court for arming terrorists in their country.

I agree. I the MSM will try to downplay this story. But is there a limit to how far they can go to downplay it? After all, real people have died (not just in the United States but in Mexico as well).

We should keep our eyes open for stories on Fast and Furious coming out of Mexico via their own news sites.

In my opinion, if they downplay it too much THEY will look like the "racist" (even though I hate to use that word with Latinos. I do not consider it a race).

Anybody know any good Mexican news sites in English? Normally I read the spanish language sites from there.

If I am not mistaken, Mexico's Attorney General has already mentioned the "ex" word regarding the deaths of "several hundred" Mexicanos.

Yes, we know that the controversial "Operation Fast and Furious" originated during the administration of President George W. Bush,

Whoa, right there!

The operation under Bush had tracking devices in the firearms. It didn't work, because the batteries went dead. The operation was stopped because it didn't work.

Under Obama, there were no tracking devices, no attempts to arrest the straw buyers or track the guns down the line and apprehend.

An entirely new operation, never intended to do other than provide piles of dead bodies to point to in an attempt to blame American guns for Mexican deaths and push gun control on the American People. Bush should not be blamed for that.

Sorry, when the article starts out with complete idiocy and/or and outright lie (”Yes, we know that the controversial “Operation Fast and Furious” originated during the administration of President George W. Bush,”), I won’t bother reading the rest...

Ice Agent Jaime Zapata Murdered While Investigating Fast and Furious Weapons

ICE Agent Jaime Zapata and his partner, Victor Avila, were ambushed at a fake roadblock in Mexico. Were they set up? If so by whom?

That must be a Mexican prison. I doubt cigs are permitted in US graybars.
