Sheriffs from six Arizona counties held a press conference outside the Arizona State Capitol today. They said it was time for an independent investigation into Operation Fast and Furious.
The sheriffs represent Pinal, Cochise, LaPaz, Mohave, Greenlee, and Yavapai counties and are both Democrats and Republicans. They all agreed that it was not a partisan issue for them but rather a feeling of betrayal by the Federal government. According to the report by ABC 15 reporter Lori Jean Gliha, all the sheriffs were united in their call for an independent investigation.
"It's embarrassing to this country and me," said LaPaz County Sheriff Don Lowery. "I've spent fifty years in uniform, and it's embarrassing for me to stand before you and apologize for people that we elect."
Lowery, a Democrat, said when it comes to this case, he is not a politician and believes people should be held accountable for the case, no matter what their party affiliation is.
"If this guy (Holder) done something wrong," Lowery said, "He needs to be terminated, if he did. It needs to be investigated first."
This story was covered in USA Today a few hours ago. I posted it to the banglist. The MSM has been losing power since 1994. They have grown more biased, obvious, and desperate since then. The new media is gaining. We are part of it.
USA Today. I sense the MSM dam crumbling.... Star Wars fans might sense a distubance in the force...
These gentlemen should invite Holder to meet somewhere in Arizona. Upun Holder’s arrival, arrest him on charges of gunrunning, conspiracy,and being an accessory to murder in the State of Arizona.
I saw this press conference on facebook earlier.
It was excellent.
believe it or not they have the power to do so.
...keep them in your prayers!
Babeau is awesome. he has been about as vocal as anyone against Obama and outright said that it is not a conspi9racy theory to say that this was a direct attack on the 2nd amendment
