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

Correction : He needs to be prosecuted & extradited to Mexico for what he has done to the Mexican people by running the operation.
Wow. That’s not your usual Congressional letter to a political appointee. That things written on asbestos and signed in blood.
LOL. For a moment I thought you meant 'for election'.
“This administration had drawn a bead on the Second Amendment and the GOP is far too cowardly to even approach this subject. “
Your absolutely right.
I copied Issa’s letter to an email and sent it to family and friends who I know are not political junkies.
It is a great summary of corruption in high places.
Read it all for sure. This is devastating!!! Issa was p1ssed for real!

Mr. Attorney General, you have made numerous statements about Fast and Furious that have eventually been proven to be untrue. Your lack of trustworthiness while speaking about Fast and Furious has called into question your overall credibility as Attorney General. The time for deflecting blame and obstructing our investigation is over. The time has come for you to come clean to the American public about what you knew about Fast and Furious, when you knew it, and who is going to be held accountable for failing to shut down a program that has already had deadly consequences, and will likely cause more casualties for years to come.
Scooter Libby was convicted of crimes far less severe than this one.
“Hey Obama ? your YO Boy Eric Holder is going to snitch on you and everyone who played a part in Fast & Furious. “
Yea right, That’s what they were saying when Sandy Berger
got caught stealing and destroying classified documents
during the investigation of the deadliest and most
destructive terrorist attack in American history. He’ll
loose his job, his law license (if he has one) and get a
small fine.
"Fast & Furious went wrong".
It did NOT do wrong..! The Operation killed many, many people, and that was the INTENT from the beginning.
The truth is, F&F went RIGHT.
Yes. Did you bother to read the second sentence of my post?
No; all of this rotten bunch need to be flawlessly and inextricably tied together for all time and totally run through the legal wood chipper. Talk about the need to wipe a chapter of American history! Obamas’ presidential library will be under the dumpster behind some sex shop.
Issa’s right. Holder owns this one.
Withholder can’t do anything like this on his own. This lamebrain scheme came directly from our idealogical chief obama and his commie cabinet and appointees. Withholder wants to be left alone. A jail cell would accomplish that. Right next to obama.
This administration had drawn a bead on the Second Amendment and the GOP is far too cowardly to even approach this subject.
We don’t know what else Issa etc have planned, are doing, or have as goals. Wait and see.
Treason...the man shouldnt just resign he should swing
Hours of time on Michael Jackson's doctor, not one WORD on F&F, ever.
Scooter Libby was convicted of a misdemeanor.
THIS is a criminal FELONY - Murder of American and Mexican Police, Government Officials, and Citizens. If these facts bear out, Holder deserves a prime seat in Leavenworth, on death row!
