(WASHINGTON) House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) today released the following statement regarding Department of Justice personnel changes involving Arizona U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke, ATF Acting Director Kenneth Melson, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Emory Hurley:
"While the reckless disregard for safety that took place in Operation Fast and Furious certainly merits changes within the Department of Justice, the Oversight and Government Reform Committee will continue its investigation to ensure that blame isn't offloaded on just a few individuals for a matter that involved much higher levels of the Justice Department. There are still many questions to be answered about what happened in Operation Fast and Furious and who else bears responsibility, but these changes are warranted and offer an opportunity for the Justice Department to explain the role other officials and offices played in the infamous efforts to allow weapons to flow to Mexican drug cartels. I also remain very concerned by Acting Director Melson's statement that the Department of Justice is managing its response in a manner intended to protect its political appointees. Senator Grassley and I will continue to press the Department of Justice for answers in order to ensure that a reckless effort like Fast and Furious does not take place again."
I tend to agree that the timing on this thing is critical.
If we inflict a mortal head wound on Obama too early, Hillary or someone else in the Democrat Party will use the opportunity to pounce and throw him under the bus. Then we could be facing a far more formidable challenge next fall.
We need to hit him with this at a point where there is no turning back for the Dems.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
OK, apprently english is not your first language. When he said “read” he meant “interpret”. Now, this is the last attempt I am going to make to explain this to you.
LOL you speak for this person well. Instead of trying to accuse me of not knowing english you could have said it could have been taken a few ways.When I say I ‘read’ something it means I read an article. If I mean it to say I took it to be or I imagined it I would say so LOL.I hope you get paid well to speak (post) for people.
“...Issa could get more of them to talk NOW if he’d remind them that if this has to wait for the next Republican administration they WILL get extradited to Mexico to stand trial for participating in the murder of those government officials....”
Brother, that is effing BRILLIANT! Threat of extradition, Mexican jail time...and then DO it. I love the idea.
But do you really think the GOP has the balls to follow through?
I never thought about it that way but I never thought about this in political strategy terms just that people have been murdered and Obama is not above the law.But strategy wise I see what you mean but I don’t think the campaign is in Issa’s head.IMO Issa is proceeding legally crossing all I’s and dotting every T.
I am dyslexic I suppose I meant dotting every i and crossing every T LOL Ingles is moi uno language LOL.Sometimes we all type too fast.
Issa is investigating corruption and crime, not playing politics. This is not about elections, but justice.
Thank you well said.
Look, you’re the one who idiotically demanded a link on an opinion, not me. You have taught me one thing though, don’t bother to respond to people who are unable to interpret what they read, it’s a lost cause.
As well as both sides of the political aisle on the congressional committee (even though Cummings et al gave gun control speeches) promised the Terry family justice.
Read that you like to personally attack.Did I read it in Newsweek or did I read it in your post calling me idiotic not knowing English?
...Bravo, bravo, bravo. Finally, a representative with bollocks!!!
It’ll be up to the Attorney General ~ be a good way to free up a whole lot of career positions ~ not just the appointed ones. That way the new guy and his cronies can do some staff promotions to get qualified attorneys in line to do work.
you guys aren’t getting a divorce are you?
can’t we all just get along?
knock the blocks off each shoulder and remember who the real enemy is... read liberals...
let’s not bicker and argue about who killed who...
this is supposed to be a happy occasion...
teeman
I hope you are right. Timing on this is critical in either case.
