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.....

I just got home from work. While there, I mentioned the Gunrunner scandal to some of my friends and colleagues who also enjoy exercising their Second Amendment rights. Not one of them had heard anything about it. Can you imagine what the media would be doing if there was a Republican in the White House? They'd already have him tried, convicted, and sentenced.

Good story FNC has been covering.
Yo Bro Holder,Your azz is in trouble.
Holder is a lying sleeze. Why are we surprised. Look who hired him and who is his boss.
who was your post 55 meant for?
Maybe Holder will resign, and take Obama with him.
Maybe they won’t have a choice.
This means Obama knew, too. Impeach.
for reference.... thank you for posting

Did he get in front of a Mexican crowd at a conference and tell them that Operation Gunrunner was in place and that he was allowing guns to be sent to from the United States to Drug Cartel members in Mexico? And then did he further say that he was expanding the gunrunning operation?
My point, again, is that he can revise and extend his statement and say that he was aware of Operation Gunrunner as it related to kidnapping and ransoms, but he was never aware that Operation Gunrunner was an operation to allow rifles from United States gun stores to be allowed to fall into the hands of Mexican Drug Cartels.
There is NOT enough that I can see at this time to convict of him of perjury before Congress. He has too many outs.
Buried in Barack Obama’s failed trillion-dollar stimulus program was a $10 million bloody border racket that has now cost American lives. This goes far beyond the usual waste, fraud and abuse underwritten by progressive profligacy. It’s bloodstained government malfeasance overseen by anti-gun ideologues — and now anti-gun ideologue Attorney General Eric Holder will “investigate.”
Welcome to Project Gunrunner. Prepare for another Justice Department whitewash.

This isn't enough to charge Obama, but it is a step closer.
That would be perjury not a lie.
He testified before a House committee under oath.
Why would we do anything?
We don’t do anything about the Mexican government giving their people comic books explaining how get across the boarder illegally.
We don’t do anything about the Mexican army coming across the boarder and shooting at our boarder guards.
Why, there's a trial on, it's over, but it's still on. it won't go away....
Just like the OJ Simpson trial when the Congress was investigating Waco....
Coincidence?
Whenever there is a soap-opera trial eating up airtime wholesale on news channels, I wonder what is going on behind the scenes.
Being unaware as to whether Holder has specifically lied under oath previously, it was necessary to choose the more panoptic term in referencing to Holder's serial pattern of dishonesty. Thanx !
ANYONE who uses the word Gunwalker and wants to post on this subject needs to read this article by one of the guys who broke this story.
This needs to be posted on every thread everytime someone makes this mistake.
BRAVO! You beat me to it!
Great link! Thanks for posting that!
Why on earth would you want to cloud the issue with accuracy and facts?
It deprives soooo many of the joy of becoming the next Woodstien or Burnward.
At the risk of self aggrandizement, GMTA.
