Everybody should read this article by former prosecuter Andrew McCarthy on NRO:

Fast and Furious and OCDETF

Whom is executive privilege protecting?

By Andrew C. McCarthy

OCDETF is Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force. F&F was an OCDETF investigation, meaning it was a JOINT TASK FORCE of the ATF, DEA, FBI and ICE, meaning it was ALL RUN BY THE DOJ IN DC.

It’s beyond laughable to suggest that it was a “rogue” operation dreamed up by local FLEAs in AZ.

I believe Holder's actions via F&F meet the legal definition of terrorism. If F&F was directed by or had Obama's imprimatur, then it makes him a co-conspirator to terrorism against the people of Mexico.

"Attorney General Eric Holder told Russian news outlets that the U.S. may return convicted arms dealer and terrorist Viktor Bout, the infamous “Merchant of Death,” to Russia to serve out the remainder of his 25-year prison term related to his terrorism conviction in the United States.

In 2010 Holder called Bout “one of the world’s most prolific arms traffickers.” He has also labeled the Russian ”a source of concern around the globe for decades.”

Isn't it about time for Holder to, at the very least, serve 25 years in the pokey for committing the same crime as Viktor Bout?

There have been problems, you know. I heard on the news about this story that — Fast and Furious, where allegedly guns were being run into Mexico, and ATF knew about it, but didn't apprehend those who had sent it. Eric Holder has — the attorney general has been very clear that he knew nothing about this.

Required reading by McCarthy. As I've watched that Obama video replayed time and again over the last week, my immediate and strong suspicion was that it wreaked strongly of a pretext for plausible deniablilty-- this volunteering of information-- indeed a cover up. Isn't it obvious now? I think Issa, Grassley, Gowdy and others smell it too. You'd have to be a journOlist not to triangulate that steaming pile of crap coming from B.O.

Deep thanks to you, Travis McGee, and to all the rest of you for the great links and input on this thread, and on all the similar threads over the past several years.

I have been following this treasonous, terrorist scandal since it broke: there’s a great deal to amuse and inform here at FR, but this scandal carries, for me, a level of seriousness far beyond everything else.

Again, thank you all.
