Issa Issues Subpoena to Holder in Fast and Furious Investigation (BREAKING)
fox ^ | 10/12/2011 | fn

Posted on 10/12/2011 7:49:05 AM PDT by milwguy

Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, sent a subpoena Wednesday to Attorney General Eric Holder as part of his investigation into the gun trafficking operation known as "Fast and Furious." "Top Justice Department officials, including Attorney General Holder, know more about Operation Fast and Furious than they have publicly acknowledged," the California Republican said in a statement. "The documents this subpoena demands will provide answers to questions that Justice officials have tried to avoid since this investigation began eight months ago. It's time we know the whole truth." The subpoena seeks, among other things, all communications regarding the operation from 16 top Justice officials, including Holder, his chief of staff, Gary Grindler, and the head of the department's criminal division, Lanny Breuer, as well as correspondence on specific dates to and from the former head of the ATF's Phoenix field division, William Newell. It also asks for all documents and communications referring or relating to the murder of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Agent Jaime Zapata, including any correspondence outlining the details of Zapata's mission at the time he was murdered. Congressional investigators are demanding information regarding the investigation into the death of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.

Has anyone wondered what the Obama administration and the DOJ got in return from the drug cartels in exchange for those illegal guns ?
Has any news report come out that they could have gotten drugs in exchange for Fast & Furious ? just wondering, it's a legit question , right ?

O’Reilly is the White House National Security aide that was communicating with the ATF guys in Arizona about Fast and Furious. The White House claims nobody there knew about F&F until very late but e-mails released between O’Reilly and ATF Arizona prove this is a lie. The most daming e-mail includes a map of SW US and Mexico and has lines with arrows from Phoenix/Tucson, etc to areas in Mexico where the cartels operate. The map proves the ATF and some at the White House knew massive amounts of guns were walking south From US to Mexico.

After the e-mails came out, O’Reilly was asked to testify, but the Administration refused because he is now ‘on assignment’ in Iraq.

Here is what should be asked by the main stream media and Congress.

Congressional hearing room:
Questioning being done by Congressman Issa : Issa " Mr. Holder just what was it that you guys got in return in exchange of all those illegal guns from those drug cartels and drug smugglers ? did you and Obama at any time receive some good drugs from the Mexican cartels ? ? "

The sun will rise in the west before holder answers a subpoena. He will never appear. Besides, it’s racist to subpoena him.

Can’t produce documents/evidence when they have all been shredded and computer disks destroyed.

Hannity interviewed Issa today on his radio show at around 4:45 Eastern. Issa eviscerated Holder. I hope someone can post a transcript.

Just another fishing expedition by one more right-wing,
bible-thumping, gun-loving, knuckle-dragging moron
who is jealous of Mr. Holder’s brilliance, intelligence
and wonderful genius.

Could you imagine a President-elect taking the oath of office who not only isn’t breaking the oath simply by taking it but who actually INTENDS to keep the oath to protect and defend the US Constitution? A POTUS who actually believes in the rule of law? Who loves America and believes that government is supposed to protect the innocent from the guilty, and is willing to do whatever it takes to do just that, regardless of what the media and other anti-American influences say or do in response? Who understands that our nation must be protected as we are under attack from lots of bad guys who want to destroy us and plunder our goods?

Geez, I get teary-eyed just thinking about it.

I have no idea about this but just saw it elsewhere:

http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=36887

A blog that has this Reuters link:

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/11/us-usa-security-iran-idUSTRE79A5E020111011

Snip from blog:

Here’s the key line from this story:

Quote from Reuters link:

President Barack Obama was briefed in June about the alleged plot and through a spokesman expressed gratitude for it being disrupted.

From blog:

So, this is old news, the administration knew about this supposed plot for four months now and just as Eric Holder is set to be indited for his involvement with Fast and Furious, he comes out to announce this “plot.”

For emphasis so it doesn’t get lost - this is OLD NEWS trotted out NOW:

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/11/us-usa-security-iran-idUSTRE79A5E020111011

Officials said that the Saudi ambassador, Al-Jubeir, who is close to King Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz and has been in his post since 2007, was never in danger. President Barack Obama was briefed in June about the alleged plot and through a spokesman expressed gratitude for it being disrupted.

The assassination plot began to unfold in May 2011 when Arbabsiar approached an individual in Mexico to help, but that individual turned out to be an informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

I'm betting "couldn't hit the broad side of a barn." I'd never trust a Northeast republican

I looked up Mitt on gun control, he joined the NRA for the first time last year and support assault weapons ban. He signed into effect tough gun control laws in Mass and stood by them.

In other words, you can’t trust him.
