Fox: Iranian Plot could have been revealed before now; saved to blunt Holder subpoena?
Fox News Channel (live, no link) | 10/12/11

Posted on 10/12/2011 7:38:00 AM PDT by pabianice

Judge Nepalitano (sp?) being interviewed on Fox. He questions the timing of the Iranian plot announcement since it was uncovered some time ago. Suspects it was announced now to blunt the effects of the Congressional subpoena for Holder to appear under oath re. Fast and Furious. Also, it is the policy of the Government to not announce such successes publicly. Why now?

Supoenas just issued and delivered TODAY. Now. In depth and even wanting to know who prepped obama before his remarks to the Mexican government.

To give the impression that our Supercop is just too busy to sumbit to questioning about such trivial matters as our Justice Department selling assault weapons to international drug cartels.

Clearly the DOJ dog and pony show was a deflection from the coming F&F subpoenas.

No, the cover on the op was first blown by Mexico. The Federales found out from informants in the Zeta cartel about the op. Mexico didn’t wan’t any further involvement so they refused entry to Arbabsiar when he flew into Mexico.

Arbabsiar now knew the op, known as “Chevrolet” was over and was arrested in NY. Arbabsiar’s cousin is Abdul Reza Shahlai, a high-ranking member of the Quds Force.

Shahlai’s boss in the Quds, Gholam Shakuri, arranged for the $100k money transfer.

After Arbabsiar was busted he agreed to call his cousin and discuss the op all of which we recorded with many important details about the Iranian government involvement.

“Chevrolet” targeted Al-Jubeir in his favorite restaurant. Arbabsiar dismissed the possibility that 100-150 others in the restaurant could be killed along with the ambassador as “no problem” and “no big deal.”

We sat on the arrests until the 2 hikers were released.

Announcement of the subpoena can be found here. It states the subpoena is for documents, nothing I see refers to Holder to appear under oath.

If I heard Nepalitano explain this right, the "terrorist" was a naive person who somehow got caught "wanting" to blow up the embassy. I can understand homeland security keeping taps on this guy, but that's not what happened.
An undercover agent from Fast and Furious immediately contacted the guy. The man had no money or arms of his own. The agent supplied the terrorist wanna-be with supplies as well as funding. As soon as the man got close to doing the dirty deed, the feds busted him - back in September.
Nepalitano questioned the legality of the arrest.

The Oboma administration stashed this "Terrorist card" in their pocket.

Fast and Furious was suppose to go without a glitch. They probably already had their strict anti-gun legislation all printed and ready to go. And, because this set up had to have started a long time ago, they probably planned to use the "Terrorist card" closer to the election.

I think they're just using this "Terrorist card" to cover for Holder. It was handy, so they pulled it out of their pocket. It could make Holder a hero when he's being subpoenaed as a criminal.

The Iranian plot to bomb a US site really didn't generate the news turmoil they might have hoped.

Who in the country didn't already think that Iran was plotting to bomb America? It's all they've talked about since 1979.

DEA was mentioned over weekend as being involved as well and presto they’re part of this terror bust.I would not be surprised if they go a step further from what you said and claim the whole F&F program was related to terror and not drugs.
