Could "Fast and Furious" eventually become President Obama's Watergate? (CNN!)
CNN ^ | 12/21/2011 | Jack Cafferty

"President Obama's Watergate" is how some critics describe the growing controversy over the "Fast and Furious" gun walking program.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa wants Attorney General Eric Holder to appear before his committee early next year. Issa says the hearing will focus on what Justice Department officials should have done to stop the program.

Agreed...the TIMES, WAPO, or if a big tv net decided to really hit this...Holder is gone. But they won’t.

Big media protects this administration everyday, in every way.

If you ever want a real hoot...tune in NPR “news” at the top of any hour...you’d think you were listening to official North Korean radio talking about Kim Il Jong.

Obama is a god to these people, and I can’t figure it out...except that the media is so deeply corrupt they are mostly on the DNC payroll.

Holder won’t go down without taking Obama with him and Obama knows it.

Obama’s ‘Watergate’?

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

No way.

The press love and worship at the Altar of the Great God Obama; they hated Nixon with a passion, and would have done anything to bring him down.

That would fit in with Clinton’s comments yesterday to BOR that the media were in the tank for Dumb0 against Hillary in 2008.

Methinks the Clinton wing of the Demonrat party is looking at Dumb0 destroying their feeding trough and they don’t like it.

Second, Nixon knew nothing of the Watergate break in

Not quite detective. Nixon not only knew of the break in, but attempted to cover it up, resigned and was then given a pardon.

“Nixon not only knew of the break in, but attempted to cover it up, resigned and was then given a pardon.”

Nixon found out about the Watergate break in after it occurred. The Obama Administration actively planned and carried out the arming of Mexican drug gangs.

Holder and the Obama Administration also actively lied to Congress under oath about the details of the program. The Obama Administration also provided money laundering for Mexican drug gangs and lied about that under oath.

The Obama Administration also suborned perjury from lower level Administration officials and conspired to mislead Congress.

Nixon did not know beforehand.

http://watergate.info/

..the Watergate Burglars broke into the Democratic Party’s National Committee offices on June 17, 1972.

.....the ‘smoking gun’ tape when it revealed that Nixon had participated in the Watergate COVER-UP as far back as June 23, 1972.

CNN-Obama will never desert The Won.

No kiddin' - I was in the waiting room of the car dealership for a couple of hours this morning, and CNN was on their tube....every bit as rabidly fellatic (I maybe just made that word up) as MSNBC.

Interesting how much OkBomb stuff has turned up, slowly & quietly, over the years:

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/660197443/Nichols-says-bombing-was-FBI-op.html?pg=1

The short version:

1. The FBI/ATF were pretty embarrassed after Waco/Ruby Ridge —they needed some intel victories

2. In Gulf War I they recruited McVeigh to go deep undercover, later Larry Potts was deeply involved in this, and even directly on some occaisions, directing McVeigh.

3. They cooked up OkBomb/Elohim City as a way to suck the crazies in and them them down (there was an informant from the Southern Poverty Law Center at Elohim, BTW).

4. The timing of the final OkBomb strike had the aim of arresting a maximum of perps, but this timing was very delicate and was altered —168 people died.

—> THIS FBI OPERATION WAS BUNGLED —SOUND FAMILIAR...? <—

So...the FedGov wants to demonstrate openness? PROVE IT —Put Terry Nicols before the cameras & kleig lights..!

Only if he's re-elected.

Lets use the wordgames of the left and call it ‘Operation Dead Mexican’. We need something to break through the media censorship by labeling it in a way that they cannot ignore it.

But you said "Nixon knew nothing of the Watergate break in."

Clearly Fast and Furious caused much more harm, but lets keep the facts straight detective.
