Forget executive privilege, contempt of Congress, "fast and furious," how many documents the government has produced and who said what to whom on which date.
The Obama administration has almost certainly engaged in the most shockingly vile corruption scandal in the history of the country, not counting the results of Season Eight on "American Idol."

I am a 73 year old Vietnam Veteran, in ill health, but I still know how to handle a punk like you.
When were those sent to Honduras?...Operation Castaway. Google it.
I thought that was the State Department's Operation Castaway, not Holder, but Cankles Herownself's outfit--the one whose assistant's mom is all buddy buddy with the wife of the new Muslim Brotherhood's new Egyptiam Prez and part of the MB's ladies auxiliary....
It's just as plain as a briar patch (to keep the American Idle crowd going "it's too complicated" (wah)), but the ties are all there.
There were supposed to be other domestic operations, iirc, in Indiana running guns to Chicago gangstas, et al., Texas, and all the upstream points on that little map they had of how American guns allegedly ended up in the hands of the cartels.
With appropriations, and even government inefficiency, chances are we, the taxpayers of this great land, ended up funding the purchases, too, of what amount to 'throwdown' weapons for the cartels, only semi-autos which would have been far more expensive to purchase at US gun shops than their full-auto capable select-fire military counterparts would be in the world marked, F.O.B.
nice. lol
Biggest scandal in US history, yeeeah right. And I suppose Sanjaya losing on American Idol completely slipped her mind?
No, Operation Castaway was run out of the Tampa ATF office. It was part of Project Gunrunner just like F&F.
I can’t argue and post links and all that, but I recall early reports which said State was involved. Everything I find now says this was an ATF operation, so I will concede that.
"Grenade-walking" part of "Gunwalker" scandal
And this...
Worse Than Gunwalker? State Dept. Allegedly Sold Guns to ZetasPhil Jordan, a former CIA operative and one-time leader of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center, claims that the Obama administration is running guns to the violent Zetas cartel through the direct commercial sale of military grade weapons:
Jordan, who served as director of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center in 1995, said the Zetas have shipped large amounts of weapons purchased in the Dallas area through El Paso.

“They’ve found anti-aircraft weapons and hand grenades from the Vietnam War era,” Plumlee said. Other weapons found include grenade launchers, assault rifles, handguns and military gear including night-vision goggles and body armor.
More about State Department involvement...
— has sources claiming “Obama’s man in the State Department,” (former) Deputy Secretary of State Jim Steinberg, was the State Department operative who helped Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and the Department of Justice Deputy Attorney General David Ogden formulate the strategy that led to the tactics used in Operation Fast and Furious.Steinberg took office as Deputy Secretary of State on January 28, 2009
A little more than two years later, it was announced that Steinberg's time in the Obama State Department was over. From the New York Times, 30 March 2011:
Mrs. Clinton heaped praise on Mr. Steinberg, describing him as an “indispensable” partner. “On every foreign policy challenge, big and small, he has helped formulate our policy and oversee its execution,” she wrote. Mr. Steinberg, she said, played “Oscar to Jack Lew’s Felix,” referring to Jacob J. Lew, her other deputy, who left earlier this year to become Mr. Obama’s budget director.

Great, thanks! I didn’t think my memory was shot, yet!
I'm not sure how many Americans have awakened, and it's guaranteed the media aren't going to tell us anything that sounds 'defeatist' for their cause (notice the 43% floor yet?), but today's events at SCOTUS should tell America something is seriously broken.
Unfortunately, the swamp needs some serious cleaning, and I'm not sure the coming election will get enough of the job done.
Officially Castaway was run out of ATF’s Tampa office.
Since this occurred in about the same time frame that O and Clinton were trying to force the Honduran government to return Zelaya to power, I can’t help but believe that Castaway had a foreign policy objective. Officially they were running guns to MS13 gangs but that doesn’t make sense; arming Zelaya’s partisans seems more likely to me. Running guns to MS13 was the first fall-back cover-story.
So while you’re officially wrong about State I have no doubt you are actually right. What you said is what I believe.
As usual Hillary said nothing in House testimony to expose herself to potential perjury charges and further investigation. Undoubtedly she never spoke personally about these things to anyone who would dare betray her. Never spoke on a phone about it or on any electronic media. She isn’t as dumb as Holder. Amazingly.
I think you have it, marron. Which means our gov is run by psychotic megalomaniacs.
When the chips are down, it isn't healthy to be too close to that one.
I think they learned a lot about how to plug leaks, and have found prevention is less hard on the hired help, which can be hard to find. She is not bound by constraints that might yield less than fully professional underlings, either.
Holder is a firewall first, and, in extremis, a sacrifice in order to protect the puppet and the puppetmasters. That he has allowed his position to become politicized, and so along racial lines (even) shows he is far from a Janet Reno, who took the heat (what there was) over Waco and was left still standing.
Well, the Executive Branch seems to be 'there'...and they seem to have been gaining in the Judicial and Legislative branches as well, but functionally, they've been playing musical chairs with who does what, and it doesn't take much of a guess who is going to be left standing when the music stops if no one interrupts the game.
