WASHINGTON - New documents obtained by CBS News show Attorney General Eric Holder was sent briefings on the controversial Fast and Furious guns operation as far back as July of 2010. That directly contradicts his statement to Congress on May 3, 2011

LA Times Version: Emails show top Justice Department officials knew of ATF gun program
Heads up. FF update coming up on Fox. MORE docs.

If Issa and Grassley are the total a-holes you seem to think, why have they bothered to go this far, I wonder. I am hoping that enough Rs can find their spines, their moral compasses and their pocket Constitutions and do what needs to be done.
The department that polices elections within DOJ have Obama campaign posters on their walls.
Pinging a few names to Munz’ excellent comment below:
I have followed this since it came to light.
Bottom line is this. It happened in such a way, between agencies that it had to be coordinated from and by Holder.
Holder would not have done this without Obama’s permission.
Obama would not have thought it up on his own .. I can honestly say that HRC was probably the one who devised it.
Janet Napolitano was also in the loop since she was the one who suspended the boarder patrol from stopping people and ordering them to back off.
You have 4 players there, and they are the ones who were the responsible parties. Hopefully Mexico will really be upset over this and demand international tribunals against them.
Just remember something, most people do not realize that federal agencies like FBI, ATF, DEA etc etc etc do not do ANY cases without running them by their respective US attorneys offices. In reality, the US attorneys generally tell the agencies what they want to see done and the agents just go out and do it.
This happened in several Attorney’s jurisdictions. There is no way on gods green earth that they all hatched this dumb plan with international implications on their own that they would KNOW would land them in hot water or jail.
They were given marching orders. What they never counted on was ATF agents putting the country ahead of their jobs and blowing the whistle on the whole thing.
Then Attkisson went on to say that she has information about another, similar program that she will be breaking soon. It gets deeper and deeper.
....and now I'm getting ready to leave the house to vote in WV’s special gubernatorial election.
How does that definition of insanity go again?
>There is a new book out today by a man that worked for DOJ, he said one of his biggest concerns is the 2012 election.
The department that polices elections within DOJ have Obama campaign posters on their walls.<
Without a doubt there will be all kinds of voter intimidation as we saw with the NBP last time, ACORN under a different name will be out there in full force, and the new voting machines will be utilized to give an advantage to the RATS.
I expect about 15% discrepancy from the real voting numbers in favor of the RATS. That is highly significant considering that they only need to take certain districts in order to take the whole state.
Will DOJ be in a position to actually do anything about it is a concern for sure. But even if they get holder out now, Obama will just appoint another crony in there to do his dirty work anyway.
We need to have people as poll watchers. If there is rule breaking, police need to be called immediately to stop it.
The Sheriff of every County is the one who is responsible for voting. Call them and they can impound the machines, arrest people who violate the election laws etc. We have to do everything we can to ensure that the American public is counted fairly in the next election.
I agree. one hundred percent Good “litmus” test for real patriots. Don’t want them if they don’t..
Odd how none of the guns went north...
AFAIK, this map is just for one of the gun walking programs. There were several, including one in Indiana that “walked” guns to Chicago gangs. And stashes of guns have been found in CA and IIRC in TX.
Sharyl Attkisson was just on the air with Laura Ingraham. She said at least 2,000 weapons were transferred through the Fast and Furious operation. She also said that the spokespersons at the White House and Justice Department screamed and shouted at her while she questioned them about the recent document dump, telling her that the NY Times, Washington Post, and other media were cooperative and that she should follow their lead.
Then Attkisson went on to say that she has information about another, similar program that she will be breaking soon. It gets deeper and deeper.
Repeating for emphasis.
Looking at Van Jone’s plans for organizing an October Revolution across the country , it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out what the guns that went to arm gangs are going to be used for.
Never heard of the AFT , but I have heard of the ATF.
I am being nitpicky
And I missed it all together....I thought he meant “A Friggin’ Traitor. What ever it is the MSM needs to jump on this with both feet. Was really surprised to see it come from CBS.
The House GOP is calling for a Special Councel to investigate Holder for perjury.
It is already worse than watergete. Just ask Agent Terry’s family along with the over 200 families who lost someone because of it.
Its becoming obvious that ServiceMaster is going to get a huge contract to pressure wash the entire caverns of all government buildings after 2012.
