Hume: “Obama Justice Department Reminds Me Of Nixon Justice Department”

You have the scent of high level knowledge, of serious wrongdoing, and you have the smell of cover-up...

Hume's right - it has the same 'feel' as the Nixon crooks.

Meh, it’s just FOX being FOX. Nothing to see here, move along. /s/

It certainly does. 0bama makes Nixon look like a Boy Scout.

[Freddd]

I think it ‘feels’ worse.

We aren’t all part of the DOJ’s ‘my people’ group..

Exactly.

Hume says he doesn't see a connection between gun control and "Fast and Furious". I don't think he's looking hard enough.

Let's hear him explain what was expected when a gun was allowed to cross the border and wasn't seen again until picked up at a crime scene. Just what conclusion can be drawn? Other than the fact that a gun smuggled into Mexico can end up in the hands of Mexican criminals, what information can be gathered or inferred?

The answer is: NONE, other than the fact that guns smuggled into Mexico can end up in the hands of criminals.

Now that the government, at the cost of at least two American lives, and perhaps a hundred Mexican lives, has discovered that guns smuggled into Mexico can end up in the hands of criminals, what can we do about?

The obvious answer is to make it more difficult for AMERICANS to keep and bear arms that might later be smuggled into Mexico. In the eyes of the BATFE and the Obama administration, I am sure that a "straw buyer" is simply a law-abiding citizen who purchases a firearm but who may or may not have smuggled it into Mexico but could smuggle it into Mexico at any time. That certainly should be a crime.

Even though "Operation Castaway" guns initially went to Honduras, the 9/21/10 Tampa-DOJ press release excerpted in this article proves that it had the same motive as Fast and Furious in Phoenix:

"Firearms like those involved in this investigation are often smuggled through Honduras and other Central and South American countries before being used in violent crimes in Mexico and other countries in the region."

DOJ steered those guns to criminal gangs (MS-13) in Honduras, with the expectation that they would also windup in Mexico; that they would fuel Mexican violence - and that they could then use to justify their attacks on the 2nd Amendment.

[freekitty]

Only worse.

[Tax-chick]

The Nixon crooks were involved in campaign-related chicanery. Yes, it was illegal (and tacky), but it wasn’t a deliberate attack on our national sovereignty and the safety of American citizens.

Does anyone think Nixon or his officials or cronies wanted our enemies to defeat us and turn this country into a Mexico or Egypt with colder weather?

[drpix]

CORRECTION:

"...Mexican violence - and that they could then use to justify..."

[hinckley buzzard]

Good for Brit. This Holder animal makes even John Mitchell look good.

[abclily]

This is much worse. With Nixon it was a political burglary of some Democrat campaign plans. With Obama it is a murderous scandal - literally. Obama’ stupid operation to make Ameican gun owners look bad was deadly to many innocents on both sides of the border.

[Defiant]

How was Nixon’s DOJ worse than Kennedy’s or Johnson’s. Britt shouldn’t perpetuate the myth that Nixon was evil. He simply made the mistake of believing that Republican Presidents could do what Democrats had always done. Bill Clinton could commit serious felonies and it was ok. He is outthere now, and it is never mentioned. Imagine if a Republican had lied under oath, raped, and had his gorillas kill a family cat. Would Britt label him, too?

[Grey Eagle]

Obama’s Justice (if you can call it that) Dept. is far worse than Nixon’s.

[BerryDingle]

In the eyes of the BATFE and the Obama administration, I am sure that a "straw buyer" is simply a law-abiding citizen who purchases a firearm but who may or may not have smuggled it into Mexico but could smuggle it into Mexico at any time. That certainly should be a crime.

Yes it is a crime, for private citizens. Law enforcement can receive, use, transport automatic weapons from and to anywhere they want, anytime. When you have several states on the same sheet of music here, the marching orders in perfect goose step are coming from pretty high up.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

No, Mr. Hume, (who, by the way, has been extremely disappointing in his analysis lately), no one died in Nixon's Watergate affair.

There is an excellent, in-debth article on the “Fast and Furious”/Gunwalker project http://www.salem-news.com/articles/july092011/holder-atf-death-tk.php In it, the author Tim King of http://www.salemnews.com gives quotes and sources that Holder lied to Darrell Issa’s committee; Obama knew about the project, in fact that it is in the Stimulus Bill. He shows Holder's ties to Purdeu Pharmaceuticals and the below the border's drug cartels.

“An article published Friday, 8 July 2011, The Stimulation of Murder, by Investor's Business Daily, explained that A.G. Holder was, in spite of his denial, fully aware of the ATF’s gun-running to Mexico operations, to the point that it was fully disclosed in President Barack Obama’s Stimulus Bill.

‘Right there in the stimulus bill that no one in Congress bothered to read is $10 million for Project Gunrunner (aka Operation Fast and Furious), which resulted in the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and increased drug cartel violence”, the article stated.’”

There won’t be any Woodward and Bernsteins from the MSM on this story. Since Obama’s protected by them, they don’t think any wrong could have been committed.
