Issa to Holder: You OWN Fast and Furious
By Michelle Malkin October 10, 2011 12:19 PMEric Holder is on the hot seat, and GOP Rep. Darrell Issas cranking up the temperature.
Sent this morning:
WASHINGTON, D.C. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa today sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder responding to his letter of October 7. The text of Chairman Issas letter to Attorney General Holder is below:
Dear Attorney General Holder:
From the beginning of the congressional investigation into Operation Fast and Furious, the Department of Justice has offered a roving set of ever-changing explanations to justify its involvement in this reckless and deadly program. These defenses have been aimed at undermining the investigation. From the start, the Department insisted that no wrongdoing had occurred and asked Senator Grassley and me to defer our oversight responsibilities over its concerns about our purported interference with its ongoing criminal investigations. Additionally, the Department steadfastly insisted that gunwalking did not occur.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Operation Fast and Furious was the Departments most significant gun trafficking case. It related to two of your major initiatives destroying the Mexican cartels and reducing gun violence on both sides of the border. On your watch, it went spectacularly wrong. Whether you realize yet or not, you own Fast and Furious. It is your responsibility.
Sincerely,
Darrell Issa
Chairman
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Ping for VISIBILITY.
Gives a good overview of the pieces and the time scale of this malicious program.
As I read on here last week, failing governments in the ultimate act of desperation will go to war. In this case, I hope it’s not our gummint going to war against the populace - but I’m more and more thinking that may be a vain hope.
Issue arrest warrants and send in Marshall's (vetted ofcourse) to seize the files.
This letter from Issa to Holder is for the history books. Read it all. Issa b-slaps Holder over and over, and ends it with, "YOU OWN IT."
This is exactly what is needed. This guy (Holder) needs to be pushed right up against the wall. He will react badly to this and that is exactly what is needed.
Holder himself is a radical and his true colors are just beneath a very carefully fracted, but very thin venier.

I do not want him fired. He needs to be prosecuted along with his boss,and put in jail.
Ping!
No, Obama owns it.
Prove that Ozero owns it and we’ve got something here.
Corruption oozes from these people; we must get to the truth; and they must pay whatever politcal/legal price required.
Obama, Inc. collectively- and continually - acts without accountability of any kind.
. . .and the man 'who would be King' may as well be.
This administration had drawn a bead on the Second Amendment and the GOP is far too cowardly to even approach this subject.
If this letter to Holder from Issa was sent (and released to the public) this morning then Holder is NOT destined for a very good future.
This letter, in effect, calls him a liar and a$$hole to his face
Go read it- this is incredible!!!
>First and last paragraphs of the letter Rep. Issa sent to AG Holder. Go read it all.<
I can summarize:
To: Atty Gen. Eric Holder
From: Congressman Darryl Issa Oversight
BEND OVER, spread your cheeks and prepare to be violated the way you violated the people oft he United States of America and Mexico.
GO ISSA GO!!
Whatever motivation there might have been for running guns to Mexico, there is also this: The more violent Mexico becomes, the less likely illegal immigrants are to return, and the more likely they are to stay here and vote in the next election [on the democrat ticket, one supposes].
Thousands of innocents have been killed in drug-related violence in Mexico; it is a revolution on our doorstep. I believe the current admin has blood on its hands.
Hence my recurring question:
If Holder & the Obama were not aware of F&F, why are they not now demanding the heads of those who were?
