Congress expands Fast and Furious probe to White House
Los Angeles Times ^ | Sept. 09, 2011 | Richard A. Serrano

Congressional investigators reviewing the failed gun-tracking program Operation Fast and Furious have formally asked the Obama administration to turn over copies of "all records" involving three key White House national security officials and the program, other ATF gun cases in Phoenix, and all communications between the White House and the ATF field office in Arizona.

The letter signed Friday by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Vista), chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and Sen. Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, was sent to National Security Advisor Thomas E. Donilon, a top aide to President Obama.

It marks a significant step in the committee's investigation into the failed gun-tracking operation, as the committee begins to broaden its investigation from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and targets White House and Department of Justice officials.

Holder said his department would press to update anti-racketeering laws and extend other statutes to combat money laundering, arms trafficking, cybercrime and intellectual property offenses.

What about international drug trafficking? Is that significantly left out? It should be included. After all, the core product of the drug cartel that used the weapons is drugs. Be suspicious that there may be a drug component to FAST AND FURIOUS.

Watergate was “Kid stuff”. What a friggin’ stupid thing to do. It wasn’t even necessary.

Issa is a smart man and a good poker player. A good poker player folds after the first round if his hand sucks. There's other tables to play.... unless you have a good hand. The second round he lets the suckers fill the pot. Issa is well into the second round, watching the pot grow.

Holder must be pissing in his pants.
