Attorney General Eric Holder criticized Rep. Darrell Issas (R-Calif.) years-long congressional probe into "Operation Fast and Furious" as little more than an effort to "suck up to the gun lobby," according to internal emails released Monday.
"Issa and his idiot cronies never gave a damn about this when all that was happening was that thousands of Mexicans were being killed with guns from our country," Holder wrote to members of his staff in April 2011, after Issa threatened to subpoena a Federal Firearms Licensee witness to testify on the investigation. All they want to do -- in reality -- is cripple ATF and suck up to the gun lobby," he continued, referring to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the branch of the Justice Department that was in charge of the gunrunning operation.
"Politics at its worst -- maybe the media will get it," Holder's email added.

” All they want to do — in reality — is cripple ATF...”
And?
Obama will pardon Holder first. Bank on it. Of course that doesn’t mean that the state of Arizona can’t charge him as an accessory to murder.
Such an angry, angry man.
Guns that Eric Withholder and Obola PROVIDED to the narcoterrorists in Mexico. #CULTUREOFCORRUPTIONTHATRISESTOTHETOPRANKSOFTHEPARTY
Mexico should charge Holder...
“maybe the media will get it”
The media never got it but we did - you were walking guns to the cartels in order to drive up the murder rate from US-source guns, to provide a pretext to gut the Second Amendment.
We should have traded holder for tha marine who just came back from mexico
I noticed this statement in the huff po was not in quotes. Telling.
I’m not a big fan of Issa, but for an entirely different reason. All of his ‘investigations’ seem to settle into a perpetual holding pattern with no conclusions, punishments, or answers.
I think so too. Watching Holder be extradited to a Mexican prison would be absolutely delicious.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Lets hope out incoming folks are feeling a burning sense of great and mighty justice.
Issa’s crap is a huge part of my RINO opposition. Just look at the time that has elapsed on this and the other frauds. Can anyone with a straight face say they arent obstructing this intentionally?
This is YEARS with nothing but excuses and every time he HAS to do something he just starts ANOTHER one and look! SQUIRRELL!!!
This is crap. Do or do not.
Why did Mexico imprison that Marine for so long?
—> IT WAS **PAYBACK** FOR FAST AND FURIOUS <—
And we can expect a couple hundred more.
What you are describing is Republican Kabuki Theater.
He actually called people “idiots” in a FEDGOV e-mail?
LOL
He’s F**d
