Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, R-MN claims that Attorney General Eric Holder was using the Fast and Furious gun running operation as a way to curb Second amendment rights.
The theory posed by some conservatives like Bachmann is that liberals will use the botched gun running investigation to begin a rallying cry for tougher gun control laws.
"No man is above the law. It doesn't matter if you are a janitor in a church basement or if you are the President of the United States, all of us have to be under the law and the same is true for Eric Holder," said Bachmann during an interview with Fox News.
Friday, the House voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt, but the Department of Justice is refusing to prosecute. Bachmann claims that the vote wasn't political.
"It looks like Eric Holder is in major trouble," added Bachmann.
She also believes that President Obama is covering for Holder by using executive privilege to keep documents regarding Fast and Furious away from Congress.
"The President of the United States is telling all the secrets to the world he shouldn't, but he refuses to tell the secrets about Fast and Furious that he should," said Bachmann.

I suppose that it very likely is both the above are true. They are not mutually exclusive.
She is wrong! Obama is Above the Law—as long as he has the Liberal Media on his said he can do anything he wishes including murder. Look to see election fraud, ballot box stuffing, etc... in next election. If he loses—Obama might even cancel the election results and rule by decree. I put nothing past him—nothing.
you try that and see what happens!
“Holder was using the Fast and Furious gun running operation as a way to curb Second amendment rights.”
Yes and lets not forget that Hillary Clinton was part of it.
The MSM is worse than PRAVDA ever was
They do it voluntarily
Hey Krauthammer —Where is that coverage by the MSM that you said NOW had to happen
What a naive boob
-—liberals will use the botched gun running investigation to begin a rallying cry for tougher gun control laws. -—
It’s only “botched” if liberals fail to achieve their goal of “tougher gun control laws.”
What law? There are no laws, just judges and people running for election.

Maybe they were "White" Hispanics.
