House Committee to Subpoena Holder in 'Fast and Furious' Probe
Fox News.com ^ | October 9, 2011

Posted on 10/09/2011 3:15:37 PM PDT by Kaslin

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is planning to subpoena Attorney General Eric Holder this week to determine who in the Justice Department knew about "Operation Fast and Furious" -- the plan to let thousands of guns sold in the U.S. get into Mexican drug cartel hands -- and when they knew it.

The subpoena targeting Holder aims to get at the heart of the authorization for the program, and when the people in charge decided the program was a problem.

When did they know it wasn't the right way to do it and why (did) they keep doing it?" asked committee chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.

Issa, who is also a member of the House Judiciary Committee where Holder testified in May that he'd only learned of the program a few weeks earlier, told "Fox News Sunday" that "people in the top" of the Justice Department knew about the operation, were "well-briefed about it, and seemed to be the command and control and funding for this program."

I’m not going to hold my breath till any of these scum in this administration pay for their crimes against this country.
If these commie pukes were republicans they’d all be in prison by now.

Well Congressman, you'll have to go it on your own with this one. Hell no we won't assign Woodward nor Bernstein to it!!! As a matter of fact we'll simply ignore the whole affair as if it never happened. We've got bigger things to report and investigate; why did you know Mooshell is shopping at Targets… Go get 'em Issa and Grassley!!!

As Col. Jessup once said, “The truth, you can’t deal with the truth” “Yes, I ordered the ‘code red’”. And I don’t think that most of America can deal with it either.

The Republicans will fold, as usual. They are too damn terrified that someone will label them a racist to do anything besides sit on their damned thumbs. This country is so history. They are just trying to make enough noise to look like they might actually have a pair, till after the next election.

This is starting to get interesting.

I’ve got the popcorn queued up and the bullets clean and ready to go. Overall, I don’t like the larger picture that is emerging of all the current events in America.

Folks, we are in big trouble. I wouldn’t stand in front of any fans - what’s about to come out won’t be pretty and you don’t want to get it on your clothes!

When did they know it wasn’t the right way to do it? When they started it! The political crooks at the top knew it was wrong. They were intent on smearing the United States. Their stupidity backfired on them. What I want to know is, why didn’t anyone tell Obama that the whole operation was stupid and deadly? Did someone try to warn him, and he wouldn’t listen? He didn’t care? This citizen wants to know the answers to these questions.

Gotta keep hitting the point that this is like the scandal of selling arms to Iran in the 1980s. Maybe the media will start to pay attention?

And we have to keep hitting the point that they killed Brian Terry.

I hope Issa is playing his cards close to his chest and is holding “the smoking gun” which he will release at the appropriate time (hint: October 2012).

Considering the level of stupidity on display, Holder might want to consider an insanity defense.

All Holder has to do is to pull a Hillary and not recall.
