On May 3, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder testified before House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa's committee that he only learned about the government's sale of weapons to Mexican drug cartels "in the last few weeks."
But Big Government found a 2009 speech by Holder on the Department of Justice's own website that proves the attorney general was well aware of Operation Gunrunner back in 2009:
The problem with Holder’s feigned ignorance is that he gave a speech in Cuernavaca, Mexico, on April 2, 2009, in which he boasted about Operation 'Gunrunner” and told Mexican authorities of everything he was doing to insure its success.
When questioned by the media, Holder also denied knowing anything about Gunrunner.....

The affirmative action president along with his affirmative action AG.
Now who would have expected anything to ever go wrong?
They don’t need to worry about it too much because most of the ‘hopey-changy’ idiots who voted for Obama don’t understand the whole issue anyway.

If this is the case (and it looks very much like it is), can’t he be charged with perjury if his testimony to the Committee was under oath? That’s what Roger Clemons is in trouble for, so Holder should be held to the same standards.

Oopsie!
fyi
“the ‘hopey-changy’ idiots”
Stepford wives.
Classic fail. Libs are so used to lying to people that they cannot keep them all straight. Gets them caught every time.
Now we need a miracle to happen... The GOP to do their damn jobs and prosecute Holder et all for lying under oath and everything else.
But Holder needs to be removed from power now on available evidence.
Taking the article at face value, Holder can modify his prior statement, and say he knew of Gunrunner, but only as it related to kidnappings and extortion. Nothing in the article proves that he knew about the actual authorization of guns across the border. Think about it, would Holder or any other U.S. official go to a conference in Mexico and tell them that he has authorized weapons to be walked into Mexico, and that he is expanding the operation? I need the “smoking gun” here. I need to see the actual proof that he is lying about the guns part. He DOES need to step down because this happened on his watch, But I need something more concrete than the information in this article.
Now, let’s see who in the media starts talking about frog march and perp walks!
In a rational world, it would work that way..
Fit Holder for an Orange Jump Suit.
Make no mistake that Obama knew also. This is no different then Nixon authorizing the bombing of COSVN HQ in early 69. Zero authorized this and Holder advised US Attorneys.
AG Holder discussed "Project Gun Runner" in April 2009 in Mexico. BUSTED!
Eric Holder = lying sack o shyte
He needs to be nailed and put in prison
These people are fearless, and have good reason to be that way....we do NOTHING to stop them, and they know it.
.. more amusement from Obama and his Cabinet of Chuckleheads.
