KUHNER: Obama’s Watergate [Officials cover up culpability for gun smuggling and murder]

A year ago this week, U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was murdered. He died protecting his country from brutal Mexican gangsters. Two AK-47 assault rifles were found at his death site. We now know the horrifying truth: Agent Terry was killed by weapons that were part of an illegal Obama administration operation to smuggle arms to the dangerous drug cartels. He was a victim of his own government. This is not only a major scandal; it is a high crime that potentially reaches all the way to the White House, implicating senior officials. It is President Obama’s Watergate.

Operation Fast and Furious was run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and overseen by the Justice Department. It started under the leadership of Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr...

[snip] Mr. Holder insists he was unaware of what took place until after media reports of the scandal appeared in early 2011. (lier,lier pants on fire...)

Mr. Holder and his aides have given misleading, false and contradictory testimony on Capitol Hill. Perjury, obstruction of justice and abuse of power - these are high crimes and misdemeanors. Mr. Holder should be impeached.

Everything I've read on that point has claimed the Bush administration tracked the guns and seized them before they crossed the border.

They passed the information along to the Mexican cops, who were supposed to seize the guns AFTER they crossed the border, but somehow *cough*onthetake*cough* the Mexican cops could never quite reach the gun runners in time.

So the program was shut down.

I wish they wouldn’t call this Obama’s Watergate for the simple reason that it is FAR WORSE THAN WATERGATE! This makes Watergate look like a disagreement among children.

“It is President Obama’s Watergate.”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
We will see whether the result is anything like his resignation but what has happened is vastly worse than Watergate. Something actually comparable to Watergate wouldn’t even make the headlines now. Things much worse than Watergate in reality are happening every day now.

[RipSawyer]

“but I disagree on one point: this is not ‘Watergate’ .... it is Watergate x 100.”

You hit that nail dead center on the head Maggie! Comparing this to Watergate is like calling Hurricane Rita a nice evening breeze.

Watergate was a blip on the radar compared to this outrage. It was a third rate bungled burglary and political dirty trick they all try to pull.

[Karliner]

Watergate was a flowerbed compared to this dung heap of murdering thugs.

"WE ARE AMERICA! 0 and company will most likely finance a third party to take away votes from Republicans. A third party= keeping 0Mao. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT? Get together America—or we’re done."

The republicans already sold you out along with the Constitution they swore to protect and defend.

See Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5.

The most important thing is getting 0bamao and cult OUT of power.

Third party at this time will not work.

Time enough to take care of RINOS/infiltrators later.

I hear that crap from you enablers every election. You deserve obama and worse.
