News documents indicate that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder more than likely perjured himself in congressional testimony about Operation Fast and Furious earlier this year.
Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News and William LaJeunesse of Fox News have been the only mainstream media reporters diligently working on the most important scandal in White House history, and it is no surprise that they concurrently released information indicating that the attorney general, who claimed in direct testimony on May 3 of this year in front of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that he first heard about Operation Fast and Furious “over the last few weeks,” had actually been briefed on the program in a memo by the director of the National Drug Intelligence Center almost a year earlier on July 5, 2010.
A copy of the heavily redacted weekly report posted by CBS News offers direct evidence that not only was the attorney general briefed on Operation Fast and Furious, but that he was briefed on it regularly and was well aware that the program was sending thousands of weapons into the hands of the Sinaloa cartel:
From July 12 through July 16, the National Drug Intelligence Center Document and Media Exploitation Team at the Phoenix Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCTDETF) Strike Force will support the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ Phoenix Field Division with its investigation of Manuel Celis-Acosta as part of OCDETF Operation Fast and Furious. This investigation, initiated in September 2009 in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Phoenix Police Department, involves a Phoenix-based firearms trafficking ring headed by Manual Celis-Acosta. Celis-Acosta and [redacted] straw purchasers are responsible for the purchase of 1,500 firearms that were then supplied to Mexican drug trafficking cartels. They also have direct ties to the Sinaloa Cartel which is suspected of providing $1 million for the purchase of firearms in the greater Phoenix area.
That excerpt stated what the task force would do in the near future, while the same language was used later in the report to show what the task force had done that week:
From July 6 through July 9, the National Drug Intelligence Center Document and Media Exploitation Team at the Phoenix Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCTDETF) Strike Force will support the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ Phoenix Field Division with its investigation of Manuel Celis-Acosta as part of OCDETF Operation Fast and Furious. This investigation, initiated in September 2009 in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Phoenix Police Department, involves a Phoenix-based firearms trafficking ring headed by Manual Celis-Acosta. Celis-Acosta and [redacted] straw purchasers are responsible for the purchase of 1,500 firearms that were then supplied to Mexican drug trafficking cartels. They also have direct ties to the Sinaloa Cartel which is suspected of providing $1 million for the purchase of firearms in the greater Phoenix area.
Attorney General Holder’s eventual criminal defense attorney is certain to state that the attorney general is provided with dozens of reports each week, and that is within the realm of reasonable doubt that he simply overlooked or did not remember the specifics of this memo.
Prosecutors would likely cast doubt on such a claim, citing the fact that the report was named Operation Fast and Furious, that it referred to the number of guns walked by the program at that time (1,500), and that it even noted how much they thought the Sinaloa cartel had budgeted for weapons ($1 million). They will then note that this information was cited twice in each weekly report for both current and future operations.
The prosecutors will more than likely be able to state with a great degree of certainly that Holder was provided this information in x number of weekly reports spanning y number of months in a report that only cites the most important National Drug Intelligence Center cases.
LOL! Great word to describe the "reverend" Al!
But will President Jim DeMint pardon Obozo?
I think Obama may toss Holder to protect himself. Obama needs this to go away. Otherwise he’s in for a sh!tstorm while he’s campaigning.
Nothing will happen with Holder, Most of America is too wrapped up in their TV reality shows to care, to fat, stuupid and the young adults are indoctrinated the the “government” is good and harmless like a grandmother.... Obunghole and Holder will just carry on.
Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.
Let Freedom Ring,
| Considering the level of stupidity on display at ATF, the agency might want to consider an insanity defense. In a sane world, Congress would impeach at least the Department heads involved and depending on his involvement take impeachment action against the President himself. Instead, he's running for re-election. The piss-stream media ignores the gangster government's corruption on a daily basis now. Sad real sad. Nothing to see here, folks, just move along. Ignore the dead bodies. |
Have another muffin Eric.
You’ll be waiting a long time. The special prosecutor law has expired and it’s unlikely that Obamugabe will appoint one of his own free will. They know most people have not heard of this and don’t really care. As long as Holder, what an apropos name, holds the reigns at DOJ, Zeroboy is safe, and he knows it......................
W left scooter to hang. He also left Compeon and Ramos to hang. karl Rove thought these men were political pawns and w listened.
The Zero can ‘pardon’ Holder at any time. Even now. In secret......................
Alas, I know that you are correct, RB.
W could have done more for Scooter, f’sure.
It is absolute and not revokable so your are correct, it is nice to be king by the way.
If recollection serves me well, John Mitchell then AG went to jail during the Nixon coverup matter. So, Holder’s going to a facility may be possible.
It still aggravates me to no end that Bush allowed Scotter Libby to go to jail. That and his insane immigration policy is not forgivable.

Holder is second in disgrace only to Obama for the damage he’s done to the USA and race relations. History will NOT remember him favorably.
Scooter Libby is white. Governing while black is one of the least accountable places in thr US.
Yep, but probably not before the election, so Issa needs to move so that this dirt bag spends some time in the slamer.
Drudge just put it up. Should get more traction now.
Good compilation, bcsco !
Does that bullet flying through the shoe still have its cartridge case attached?
