Revealed secret wiretap tapes trouble for Attorney General Eric Holder and DOJ
San Antonio Examiner ^ | June 12, 2012 | Jack Dennis

Posted on 06/29/2012 10:26:31 AM PDT by Tulsa Ramjet

Anonymous sources presented secret wiretap applications last week to the chairman of the Congressional committee which could spell disaster to Attorney General Eric Holder’s Fast and Furious defense.

The evidence reveal high-level Department of Justice officials approved the “gun walking” tactics that could have led to the death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.

The committee has been trying for 15-months to get information from Holder, who has used every legal, and arguably illegal means, to stall the committee from furthering their investigation with information from the Department of Justice (DOJ).

And almost a majority of Americans, who are the most violent, support this garbage. (I am totally pissed) This rotten government has destroyed one of my daughters and the other is going down due to job loss.”

Ah, lest we forget, the timing is everything. Apparently all of it is right on time, leading up to the election.

What I don’t get is that the players are consumed with the single death of our lost border patrol officer, Brian Terry, but fail to drive home the point that 300 Mexicans were murdered also with the same ATF guns, in a foreign country in secret operations without permission nor coordination for the operation with the Mexican government.

Now there are tapes! Looking more and more like Watergate, isn’t it?

Of course, one difference is that since this scandal involves a Democrat administration, there aren't any Woodward and Bernsteins from the MSM investigating it.

Issa got these wiretapp apps into the public record (they were court sealed) due to the floor debate for the contempt vote.

"The wiretap applications were signed by senior DOJ officials in the department’s criminal division, including Deputy Assistant Attorney General Jason Weinstein, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Blanco and another official who is now deceased."

Ruh-roh.

As “Plugs” would say, “That’s a BFD!” Federal wiretaps, known as Title III intercepts, require approval by the Attorney General. Holder’s fingerprints and signature are all over the paperwork. So, on top of the contempt of congress charges, he now faces charges on multiple counts of (dare we hope?) Perjury. That should be worth a couple of years at Club Fed. Feel like signing, Mr. Holder?

They are going to have to reopen Alcatraz to fit all of the bodies that should be going down as a result of FF...

I don’t suggest modernizing the cell blocks either.

See my post #28 in this thread for yesterday's Congressional Record submission by Issa. If you do a search of the document using "wiretap", you'll come up with a bunch of stuff. Just keep clicking ">" (next)...

“Breaking News” doesn’t mean “news from three weeks ago.”

...a "Butterfield" moment....

Funny how all those invisible techs and lowly assistants who've been instructed not to look upon the power hungry basilisks find their moments to trip the bastards up. Righteous payback is far more than just a bitch.

Here's hoping Hill and Michelle have more than a few restless nights.

But if there is wiretap info, I wanna hear it!! When will that come out? Ever?

It's a wiretap application, not the wiretap itself. The document proves that high-ups in the DoJ (e.g., Holder's immediate subordinates) knew and approved the operations.

“....Watergate investigators. Hillary Clinton could - conceivably - have been one of those.”


I’d forgotten that Hillary had a role in Watergate investigation.

(A BLAST from the PAST, Steely Tom!)

I hear you and we especially feel the pain of our children.

It has affected my daughter as well.

I’m not discouraged though. Some people here wanted us to hit bottom. We’ve hit it.

This country is resilient. I’m voting for Romney and I’m optimistic about him.

I also think we’ll make gains in the house and senate.

Newsflash.

The House of Representatives can’t arrest anyone.

The House also can’t make anyone else arrest anyone.
