I pray the full truth comes out and that he and his boss are sent to the Grey Rock Hotel and that the self-serving smirk is wiped from his face as he is held accountable for the death and misery he has caused.
“According to Grassley, Melson wrote that he had reviewed the wiretap applications — the same documents Cummings and Holder claim do not show senior DOJ officials knew of or approved gunwalking tactics in Fast and Furious.”
Here’s a key point that needs to be brought up. Just the fact that they were applying for wiretaps in this investigation shows that the upper levels of the DOJ were informed of the investigation:
“At the federal level, the application must be approved by the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, Associate Attorney General, any Assistant Attorney General, any acting Assistant Attorney General, or any Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Criminal Division designated by the Attorney General.”

Get it? Federal wiretaps all go through the DOJ Criminal Division, and can only be approved by Holder’s appointees in that division.
“In addition to leading the Fast and Furious OCDETF task force, the U.S. Attorney’s Office was instrumental in preparing the wiretap applications that were submitted to the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. Federal prosecutors in Arizona filed at least six of these applications, each containing immense detail about operational tactics and specific information about straw purchasers, in federal court after Department headquarters authorized them.”

Those wiretap applications detailed the operation and were approved by DOJ headquarters! That’s a smoking gun right there.
Folks can argue the point if they want to, but, I still say this could be Obama’s, and Holder’s, Watergate. This makes Watergate look like play time at kindergarten. No one died in Watergate.
So...It’s a matter of releasing the documents that the committee already has or knows the content. Again Holder is between a BaROCK and congress......
If Zero IS re-elected, the balance of power in Congress will likely shift as well. Doubtful that current investigations will survive a change in committee make up.
As an aside, is anyone else annoyed at all the double letters in the word "committee"?
I guess that makes them LIARS, don't it? Every time I watch that pudge-faced ninny, Elijah Cummings spout off about the forthrightness and innocence of Eric Holder, I can visualize their roasting buttocks in the 3rd level of Hell; that special playground for recalcitrant LIARS.
A national-level scheme to intentionally release high-power weapons into the hands of known criminals in the hope that those weapons would be used to commit crimes (to create a political argument against the Second Amendment) and create chaos in Mexico, with the full knowledge and expectation that some of those crimes would include murder.
Accessory to hundreds of crimes...
Impeachable offenses...
International crimes against humanity...?
Issa’s committee likely already has a back door copy of the memo.
My biggest concern is that Holder’s strategy is to stonewall this until January 2013 when Obama and Co walk dutifully out of the White House for the final time on official duty.
Since we as a culture have made, for better or for worse, investigations of past administrations off-limits.
I’d like to see a subpoena sent to Sarah Brady.
Kenneth Melson deserves a medal and some protection. He did the right thing.
Eric Holder, June 12, 2012, being questioned by Senate Judiciary Committee
"I am Saddam Hussein the president of Iraq and I am willing to negotiate."
Saddam Hussein, Dec 16, 2003, as US troops were about to throw a hand grenade down the hole he was hiding in.
The dictator types are all the same.
.
I’m not the most informed guy when it comes to what and who Congress has power over in situations like this. I’m well aware that our alleged government, is supposed to derive it powers from the people. I’m aware that there are powers enumerated in the Constitution about the roles of the House and Senate. But....
Can someone tell me where the AG has the power to tell Congress that he is willing to compromise and hide information from the very people that are responsible for the oversight of the DOJ? Everyone who voted for Holder should be taken out of the Senate building, put on the border and forced to stand a watch and chase folks thru the desert.
They are nothing but a damn disgrace.
The most unfortunate thing about this whole trainwreck is that, if obama loses(God willing) this whole thing will disappear as if it never happened.
