Issa to Holder: You Own Fast and Furious
......Gary Grindler, the then-Deputy Attorney General and currently your Chief of Staff, received an extremely detailed briefing on Operation Fast and Furious on March 12, 2010...
...At the time of his briefing in March of last year, Grindler knew that Patino had purchased 313 weapons and paid for all of them in cash. Unlike Melson, Grindler clearly saw nothing wrong with this. If Grindler had had the sense to shut this investigation down right then, he could have prevented the purchase of an additional 407 weapons by Patino alone. Instead, Grindler did nothing to stop the program.
Following this briefing, it is clear that Grindler did one of two things. Either, he alerted you to the name and operational details of Fast and Furious, in which case your May 3, 2011 testimony in front of Congress was false; or, he failed to inform you of the name and the operational details of Fast and Furious, in which case Grindler engaged in gross dereliction of his duties as Acting Deputy Attorney General. It is fair to infer from the fact that Grindler remains as your Chief of Staff that he did not engage in gross dereliction of his duties and told you about the program as far back as March of 2010.
He knew everything and right from the beginning, “under the radar.”
The President lies once again: Holder knew about Fast and Furious as early as July, 2010:
"Senator Chuck Grassley and Congressman Darrell Issa today said that Attorney General Eric Holder received at least five weekly memos beginning in July 2010, including four weeks in a row, describing the ill-advised strategy known as Operation Fast and Furious. The memos were to Holder from Michael Walther, the director of the National Drug Intelligence Center."

It's early. Issa and Grassley have done the groundwork, but the real Political Season doesn't start until January, 2012.
The last few months of debate-bullshitting was just posturing ............................... FRegards, sweetie
BTTT!
The Dem part of Congress was probably briefed on it and in on the deal. Could probably throw a few RINOs in the bunch too.
It's a freaking Dem collusion conspiracy.
51 Congress critters are now calling for Holder’s resignation. Up from 13 about a month ago. This whole thing is teetering on the edge of snowballing into an avalanche.
100% agreement. bump
Is there anywhere that one could look for the very most recent updates ? Perhaps Issa’s website?
Do you happen to know when the next “move” will be made ? Whether that would be a hearing or a meeting or anything like that ?
Thanks FRiend~
RED ALERT: Deputy A.G. behind 'Fast & Furious' met with 0bama four times during height of operation
. . . . Check out article, and # 13.

One month before....
4/10/2010 Obama sneaks out of White House supposedly to go to daughters soccer game.
“Reporters and photographers didn’t have a chance to see him or his vehicle to verify his presence at any location.”

And....
6/26/2010 Obama sneaks away from press in Toronto.
“Holed up with seven other global leaders in the woods of Muskoka, Canada, President Barack Obama gave the White House press corps the slip last night .It is highly unusual for the president to shun his permanent media detail that way, particularly at a high-profile event in a remote location.”
http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2010/06/26/g-20-obama-gives-press-the-slip/
Where there people he needed to meet that he did not want at the White House? Are these sneak-aways related to F&F?
Republicans = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJhArU1sE2o&feature=related (”A Bug’s Life” outtakes)
Looks like we have our fall guy. It will be Grindler and who knows how much he will benefit once out of govt.”service”.
These bastards are super slick and should never be taken for granted.Zero and “hold this” will skate just as planned.
Apparently they talked about the weather or something, not about illegal gunrunning over international borders to drug cartels...
because the only way to impeach a communist president with a communist senate is to have such an airtight case that to not impeach would be seen as treason.... this case is being built, all exits have been blocked, it is just a matter of time now... patience is needed here
Could an October surprise include the indictment of a sitting president?
As I’ve said many times, there’s something every day with Obama. It’s mentally overwhelming to me the thousands of things he’s done, said, inferred - or not done - and he gets a total pass from the LSM. Can you even imagine if Obama was Nixon? Would he still be in the White House? Never forget Nixon resigned because of a botched cover up of a third rate burglary. And we had to put up with Clinton’s crimes. . what was it, something like 100 years of indictable offenses?, . . and now Obama. Is there an American alive who’s not starting to ‘get it?’ Let’s hope at least they get it by November 6, 2012.
Watergate anyone?
“...it is just a matter of time now... patience is needed here”
I’m fourth or fifth down the list seconding this, but I second, third, fourth and fifth this idea.
One caveat: Impeachment is for a lawfully seated President. The current Occupant of our White House is likely not eligible to be there in the first place. At the very least, his birth and life narrative are so scrubbed and obfuscated as to make his eligibility an open question, given currently available information. The Justiagate/Cornell tampering revelations surrounding the *Holding* of Minor vs Happersett would seem to indicate that the “Obama” cabal know at a minimum that the declared narrative of Barky’s having been born of a union between SAD and BHO Sr. renders him ineligible. Either he’s telling the truth about his origins and is therefore not eligible vis a vis Minor vs Happersett, or he’s eligible via a hitherto untold origins-story and his entire life story is then shown to be a fabrication.
Simple.....they are POLITICIANS!!!
