It’s outrageous, I could never conceive such a shameless piece of manure from even the WaPo.

This is good news, however, that the usual suspects are reduced to resorting to such desperate tactics.

From the brief notice that the Human Events article linked to, I can’t simply assume that Chuckie Schumer and Elijah Cummings are necessarily going to be holding a mock hearing to try and exonerate the perps and upstage Issa’s investigation however.

From their statements it sounds like it’s just possible that this latest outrage was too much for even them to stomach. Though I’m sure the main purpose will be to hammer everyone involved except Obama and Holder.

“...The RINO’s don’t have the guts to pursue anything...”

You’re right. RINOs don’t/won’t.

But a Conservative Republican IS pursuing it. Darryl Issa.

We should give him ALL the help he needs by calling our congresscritters and DEMANDING they blow this thing wide open.

Why? Is Darrel going to get really, really mad again?

Issa will look like a fool if he doesn't go for Holder's resignation or impeachment, depending on what Melson's testimony turns out to be. He told Holder in his committee hearing that he thinks Holder was involved in Gun Walker. Holder said, in effect, he took that as an insult. We're talking about a lot of dead people.

RINO’s are life forms operating under the umbrella of the Republican Party with Leftist voting records, therefore it should not be a surprise they won’t go against their own.

I found the same thing. Only one blog talks about Mexico extraditing anyone involved in Fast and Furious. It claims Mexican newspapers first reported the intent of the Mexican gov to extradite on March 10th and another report on March 28th that Mexico’s AG vowed to extradite. I searched on several search engines and that was all I got. You wouldn’t think that Special Report got their info from one lone blog. Internet scrubbing going on?

This goes all the way to Obama. He knew and he approved.

“Internet scrubbing going on?”

Whatever clean-up is going on goes well beyond the blog-o-sphere.

The world is scary under the Obama regime.

Let’s face it, any plausible RINO would be a vast improvement over this mysterious, muslim-esque COMMUNIST cipher.

Juan Carlos McCain is looking gosh darn good right about now.

That's a bridge too far for me.

Latest word is Mexico is seeking extradition of ATF and/or DOJ people reponsible for aiding murderers in Mexico.

Elijah Cumming's whitewash report on Project Gunrunner's Fast and Furious Gunwalking begins:

On March 16, 2011, Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell E. Issa launched an investigation into allegations that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), as part of an effort known as Operation Fast and Furious, failed to properly monitor hundreds of firearms acquired by suspected straw purchasers and destined for drug cartels in Mexico.

They did not "fail" to properly monitor the guns, because you have to try in order to fail. The agents were ordered not to track the guns. Elijah's report makes no mention of that inconvenient fact.

The democrats had their own hearings today called by Elijah Cummings with Chuck Shumer calling for more gun control.
I guess Cummings is Chuckie's new Butt-boy now that Wiener is gone.

The coverup is always worst than the crime. Justice Department is stonewalling and Congress is pissed at the White House and DOJ for not responding to requests for information, Obama tried to throw ATF Director Kenneth Melson under the bus by asking him to resign to end the investigation. Melson refused and requested that he be asked to testify before the Issa committee in early July.

This is just going to get bigger and bigger. The next attempt to stop the inquiry will be for Holder to walk the olank but that will only lead to the White House and the Oval Office. Stay tuned a-hole.

Just because I am old enough to remember the sham hearings of the 90s and mature enough not to be fooled by these vain repetitions, it does not mean I’m an “a-hole”. I was sure they would get Clinton, too.

I do not care how may people like you I offend, If I can wake up one person to the fact that we no longer have representation and rule of law in our government anymore.

You need to understand that if I am wrong, then good for America. By the time people like you realize that you are wrong, than it’s too late for this Republic.

Stay tuned. You will be disappointed.
