This wasn't homicide due to negligence, this was homicide as an expected outcome of the ATF actions. Resigning one's job should just be a precursor to prison time.

Prison time? Should be precursor to execution of death sentences, according to relevant sections of US Code, specifically deprivation of civil rights under color of authority, and the RICO Act. In a justly administered nation, that is what we would be seeing.

Keep an eye out and see what actually occurs, though, and it will speak volumes as to exactly how corrupt FedGov, Inc. really is...

It’s not his fault, he was just following orders.

I’ve heard that before, somewhere...

Eric Holder needs to go! He damn well knew what was going on as well as Obama!

Since that idiot reports to the DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, i.e. HOLDER, shouldn’t HOLDER be required to be dumped ALSO?

Its hard to believe that Holder was not privy to this operation.

If the GOP had any kind of principles, they would defund and disband ATF, but since they are just the Judas Goat to get half of us to walk the garden path to the totalitarian stockyard, they won't.

Bears repeating, imho.

His pension is not at risk unless he give it up voluntarily or is convicted of treason.

It is remarkable it took 6 months to force this guy out. I guess he was the stop gap, cut their losses with him. Maybe they are trying to find some job for him so he keeps his mouth shut.

It is beyond the pale to believe that someone who is “acting” in any capacity in government would authorize a program such as this with all the implications without having had higher authority to do so. If Congress abrogates its responsibility to keep looking and to keep the heat on, they should resign with him.

So what if the head of ATF quits over Fast and Furious. Will that mean the issue just goes away? Real justice dictates that the head of the ATF, the Obozo and Holder should all be charged at least for being accomplices to murder. After all, getting charged as accomplices happens all the time to Mafia criminals.

Obama himself, perhaps.

New guy being suggested is from Chicago. Obama but-boy as you can imagine. Serious issues with their internal counsels’ office too (as in [more] felonious conduct). Defund the whole damn thing. Anything less is not going to cut the mustard.

He should be extradited to Mexico, as should everyone who signed off on this act of war.

“I’m assuming the ATF DIRECTOR is not one of ‘Holder’s people’ ...”

Agreed. Melson has been around the D.C. area in govt jobs first at the state level and then with the Federal govt. He is a career govt employee and I do not think he is going to quietly and dutifully take a fall for Frick and Frack.

Soups on and Obama is the main ingredient. The soup hasn't reach simmer yet but it is headed for boil long before the 2012 elections. Melson is just a very small potato being thrown into the pot. This is going to lead directly to the Oval Office. I just know this arrogant, jug eared, empty suit is recording every conversation he has with anyone for his POSOTUS Library.

Resign?
What ever happened to falling on ones sword?


Swords and Honor both went out of style at about the same time.

I think this one came from the President and could probably be proven if anyone really wants to.

For one thing it is known that Obama believes he can get gun control on the sly. He has basically said as much. For another, something as sensitive as this could not have been started by an underling no matter how high up.

It probably would take putting Holder in jail or at least the threat of it before he would admit it. For some reason these rats are pretty good about taking the heat and not ratting out their boss.

Remember all the Clinton underlings who went to prison without divulging a thing?
