IMO, these would be the agencies he could most easily use to implement his agenda. It would be an easy way to control the population by crushing them under regulations, rules, and mandates from these agencies, and allow him plausible deniabilty should things not go according to plan. I left out the FBI, CIA, and DOD thinking he couldn’t make any real inroads into those agencies, but with the input from some fellow FReepers, that doesn’t seem to be the case. BTW, I don’t like playing 20 questions either, I wanted to see if anybody else was making these connections.

AUSA Burke is the smocking gun in Phoenix, as AUSA Obrien is the smoking gun in Tampa and Holder is the man whose fingerprints are on those (an possibly other) guns.

I keep on imagining this picture:

Don’t forget, SAC O’Brien was in Phoenix during F&F.

What possible ideology could the installed associates and cronies of a US President have for running guns to criminal cartels and marxist revolutionaries?

Professional courtesy between equals.

The charges of impeachment would still stand however, and would be a devastating blow to the demoRATs, and especially to the narcissistic fascist socialist commie pig 0dumb0.

Clinton is still on record as having been impeached by the House, but the conviction by the Senate failed to occur as you pointed out. But he is still stained with impeachment from the House. At a minimum, I would love to see that happen to 0dumb0.

And YES, we still have got to throw the demoRAT House reps & Senators out of office, as well as some of the quisling Repubs -- Snowe, Collins, Scott Brown, Grahmnesty, Lugar & probably 3-4 other key RINO's as well. And most of all to elect solid conservatives to replace the demoRAT & RINO traitors.

I remember when they were trying to demonize US gun dealers because so many guns sold here were ending up in Mexico...

That was their excuse for wanting to imposing tighter gun control.

Yes.
