Holder bragged about Operation Gunrunner in 2009

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.....

Most of the “hopey-changey” people Never Even Heard of it!!

I’m assuming that when Holder testified before Issa’s committee he was under oath, and therefore perjured himself.

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."

You were'nt a juror at the Casey Anthony trial by any chance, were you?

Holder is a Idiot and anything he touches, will quickly turn to crap.

[Jeff Chandler]

Before talk radio and the Internet, the media could cover up the lies. As it is they will probably blame Sarah Palin or someone.

[GlockThe Vote]

They should qt least credit us.

Address the question I raised or don’t bother posting to me.

[Carborundum]

Must admit I did not see(or find on my search before posting this piece) that thread from 7/8... but clearly the more the media picks up on this issue, the more it will bring scrutiny on Holder et al.. And as far as that goes, the more the better. No?

[GOPJ]

Strange things happened in Watergate too... Folks in power aren’t as logical as you might think.

There is “No controlling Legal authority.”

Glad to see this story getting legs. I sent it to Ulster Man as soon as I saw it.

[factoryrat]

So, from what I’m reading, the DOJ and related agencies are actively engaged in supplyng arms to mexican drug cartels, along with leftist central american governments. Or, are they just using the cartels for financing and logistics to put arms in the hands of those leftist regimes?

This pile of crap coming out of DC just keeps getting deeper and deeper by the minute.

“Holder bragged about Operation Gunrunner in 2009”

That’s gonna leave a mark ...

[Flag_This]

I wonder what our government’s reaction would be if we found that Cuba was actively supplying weapons to street gangs in the U.S.?

As if we could expect anything more from this administration than lies.

If only the MSM would do something.

[Josa]

Lies, lies, and more lies

Exactly! Obama and Holder are counting on that big time!

[Carborundum]

They may try. More likely just try to bury the story. But remember Buckhead and the SeeBS/Rathergate scandal. Glock The Vote may become the next Buckhead....personally, I’m praying that happens.
