This is what is happening. The media is standing abounding waiting for the NY Times to put it above the fold on page 1. Once that is done, the whole house of cards falls.

No one has the cajones to step up, hence they wind up as a suicide in ft Marcy park.

“200 Mexicans dead”

So, let’s see if La Raza, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and the millions of Reconquista asshats turn against this administration. (*crickets*)

Guess not. No doubt they’ll still vote for the Criminal-in-Chief next November.

HA HA HA!!! Bob Schieffer on CBS could not even keep a stright face during the F&F story. Justice Dept is now saying that Holder ‘misunderstood’ the question when he said he only heard about F&F in the past few weeks.

Credit to CBS for at least following this story, from the screen shot, it appears they have gotten their hands on at least 7 F&F briefing documents from 2010. ISSA needs to demand special prosecutor be appointed immediately.

Oath, shmoath. He said he wasn't sure of the date, and "probably" a few weeks prior. And anyway, if Obama can sit in church and not hear anything for seventeen years, why can't Holder sleep through one little briefing?

Perjury charges

Jail, pull his law license. As he said when going after CIA, no one is above the law.

Holder, rather than celebrate the 4th of July 2011 like regular Americans, spent the week at Aspen’s “Ideas Festival”

hhmm

What the hell is it going to take? The evidence is piling up against these f'ing people and who is going to remove them? Special prosecutor? Congressional impeachment hearings?

Spineless bastards already have what they need -- what will it take to get them to act?

The nice part:

In view of all this (and what is to come), the expectations for TeaParty voters for there to be meaningful legal action (like impeachment) will be sky-high at exactly the time when RINO’s will want to do nothing.

And with an upcoming election...!!

So any RINO at all up for election will likely lose his job.

FANTASTIC...!!

He would be facing perjury charges if he were a Republican, no question. But then, they probably could not get a conviction of a Democrat in DC anyway.

I want every gop candidate not pushing this to drop out of race.

If they are not bothered by this, they should never be president

They don't want to upset the apple cart and end up with Biden as the incumbent next year. Too many voters - especially Independents - might be willing to give the old dimwit a chance, out of sheer relief that the Marxist had been removed.

The steady drip of incriminating evidence, more like Watergate every day!

Really Watergate was nothing but a third rate burglary job. Nobody got killed. It was a minor campaign offense that would have received very little attention if the press did not have an ax to grind with Nixon.

Fast and Furious is infinitely worse. We need to be making a big deal about this:
1. Contacting our elected representatives,
2. Writings letters to our local papers,
3. Posting on local blogs, Congressional facebook sites etc.

We need to do the job most in the MSM will not do.

We are the real voice of conscience in America now.

I don’t know what else the media could want from this. There is a smoking gun in Holder’s hands.

But Fast & Furious has over 200 bodies to add to its tally, including a U.S. border patrol agent. 0dumb0 & Holder, the two fascist hating-America commie pigs are grinning from ear to ear. Both of these commie pigs need to be impeached and then prosecuted for crimes of murder, illegal gun sales & gun running.
